Don't get me wrong. I love a good explanation as much as the next guy. I'll drop everything to work through another book I think has some bearing, like the body mapping book I just finished.

My point is simply what is your priority? Doing or understanding?
I fall solidly into the camp of doing with understanding - I don't see it as an either/or situation. I'm not silly enough to believe both happen at the same time or in the same measure. Right now I'm working on doing because I need a much better basis to build understanding. I very much look forward to being able to do this stuff and going crazy trying to figure out how to explain it. I am just brash enough to believe it is possible. Of course, I'm prepared to fail miserably and die trying. Seems to be my M.O. (not that last part).

If I do figure it out look for the book and you get the first signed copy, no charge for awesomeness.

Thanks
