Repetition

Repetition repetition repetition leads to the possibility of enlightenment. What I mean is, by learning a sport, and becoming great at it, which requires practice and repetition, over time that practice and muscle/mind memory renders you free enough to have an opening. It's like meditation, or chanting. The more you do it the more you clear the way. Finally after all that work your mind relaxes while engaged in the sport, moves aside, and voila...

Sports as a form of spiritual practice? I can think of no more obvious and clear way for people who otherwise would never have the chance, to experience a transcendental space. A space of infinity, no mind, God Nature, Buddha nature, The Tao etc. yet it is the least discussed of all the practices.

Probably because if you go to church, or meditate it's obvious you're there for a meaningful spiritual experience. In sports, it's not so obvious.

Maybe I can help...
