Here are two things that will happen when you run out:

The game will be over and your opponent will be unhappy.

Both of these experiences bring pain. No one wants the game to be over. We want to play forever. We hate to see it end. Pain. No one really wants someone to be unhappy. Pain. In our peculiar mind, ending a game with a complete run out is painful. We sense this, therefore we have trouble with the key ball. Many times, we eventually win the game but not before we drag it out and not before we give our opponent a chance to perform.

Take some time to reflect upon this concept. If you are missing the key ball, and not finishing your run outs, there has got to be a reason beyond your shooting ability. I once failed in run out opportunities over seventy percent of the time. I am talking about a clear chance to run the balls off the table and win the game. That was not relative to my ability. There was a different reason for this behavior. It had to do with pain and joy. I did not want to experiences the pain of the game being over and I did not want to experience the pain of my opponent being hurt or angry with me. This reason was not on the surface where I could see it. My behavior with the key ball had everything to do with my desire to avoid pain.

Once I could see this, I changed the way I viewed things. My success with run outs soared through the roof. I did not miss the key ball as often as I did before. I finished my run outs and enjoyed the success I deserved. I changed my pain formula. Yes, it was painful for the game to come to an end, but it was more painful to fail. Yes, it was painful for my opponent to be angry and resentful of me, but it was more painful for my opponent to beat me. So I changed the pain formula.

I acknowledged what I was doing and placed a bigger value on winning and avoiding the pain of failure. I have always said that the joy of winning comes in the fact that I did not have to experience the pain of losing. It was not the first place trophy or the cash prize that made me so happy. It was the fact that I did not lose.

At some point in your game you will define what is painful and what is joyful. Once you are doing what you are suppose to do, you become far more effective. Learn all you can about thisgame. Accumulate the knowledge it has to offer. Little bits of enlightenment are like shots in the arm. They boost you and take you to a new level.

Transcendental Intelligence arises when you reach the limits of your intellectual mind. You begin to sense things. You begin to get a feel for it and experience the joy of right choice. If your learning experiences are founded in their true nature, they must come from a Higher Source. You can do all things when your energy comes from a Higher Source, a growth spurt.

A growth spurt is a startling, life-changing experience. This is your intuitive mind - your learning experience. Your intuitive instincts are connected with the Universal Mind, something far greater than you. Intuition cannot be analyzed or debated. It is superior to our basic intellectual understanding.

Once you acquire the knowledge or the intellectual cognition, you must accumulate this informational foundation into your mind computer and then move on to the intuitive expression of that knowledge.

about it. A curious player does not want the truth. He just wants to hear what the truth looks like and perhaps, he may come close enough to see it from a distance, but he is afraid to personally approach the truth for the truth may destroy his earthly existence which is to revel in ignorance. You have heard the player dismiss a great coaches teaching simply because the coach does not compete on the world stage and therefore does not qualify to teach him.

In my book Focus on Winning, I talk about how the truth brings you close to reality and divinity. For an ignorant person this is tough to face. My originial title was "My Student from Hell."

This type of curiosity has two close friends: doubt and jealousy. Doubt has perfect timing. If a player approaches truth doubt can slip in and destroy any chance for enlightenment. All you have to do to destroy something is to doubt it. Jealousy causes you to feel inferior to the genuine seeker of truth. As Jealousy is allowed to rule your lower nature you will refuse to link up with spiritual teacher or accept help from him/her. We are talking about winning. Winning is a higher order and requires help from a Higher Power.

It all comes down to how you approach your master. I had one student call me and ask what I was going to teach him. He was curious. That was his purpose for calling. He did not want to learn, he only wanted to learn what I was going to teach.

Awareness is knowledge we possess but cannot express. Once we are unable to express our knowledge, we have entered the intuitive stage. A well-developed intuition will go a long One day he will link up his Intuitive Mind with the Universal Mind, but first he must accumulate the knowledge that will allow him to call upon his instincts to make the right choice. How wonderful this training is! How great to experience new growth. Do not be discouraged. Press on my friend, for the prize is just around the corner.

I have seen the path and it is splendid. It is pure joy to be on the path, but every once in a One day he will link up his Intuitive Mind with the Universal Mind, but first he must accumulate the knowledge that will allow him to call upon his instincts to make the right choice. How wonderful this training is! How great to experience new growth.

What the light reveals is the amount of effort you put into this journey. This shadow is your curiosity which keeps you from the one thing that guarantees success - commitment.

My shadow followed me through the swamps and at precisely the right time, it revealed for me the pain of ending a game or getting my opponent angry at me. For a while I listened to the serpent. I heard his disruptive message. "Don't break his heart. Don't end this game. Give him one chance". Then I decided to close my ears to its mischief and left it in the shadows of the swamp. I would not give it the attention it needs to sustain his existence. I changed my values and went on to experience the joys of this great game. Every now and then the serpent reappears and I must deal with his slithering logic. But I am mindful of his presence and have my intuitive mind firmly in the grasp of the Universal Mind. This gives me freedom. When the voice of destruction comes to me in the night I am able to resort back to the Monk 101 program, identify the shot as just a shot and deliver the winning stroke. See the shot know the stroke, shoot the shot. I have my freedom and it is good.
