>"I think there are "survivable mistakes" and "nonsurvivable mistakes"< followed by some good allusions to zen and descriptions of flow states. I'd like to add some zen and some science. A koan: Zen Master Shenshan was crossing a river with his dharma brother Dongshan. Dongshan said, Dont make a mistake with your steps and slip into the current. Shenshan said, If I make a mistake with my steps, then I wont live to cross the river. Dongshan said, What is the state without mistakes? Shenshan said, Now Im crossing the river with the Elder." Roshi John Daido Loori summarizes this lesson as "the state-of-no-mistakes is the state of nowness" Some science: Paper published July 2009 in Neuron by Miller, Histed and Pasupasy summarized at: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2009/successes-0729.html "If you've ever felt doomed to repeat your mistakes, researchers at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory may have explained why: Brain cells may only learn from experience when we do something right and not when we fail."
