I’ve been reading a very unusual book about sport, a classic really, called The Inner Game of Tennis, written by Tim Gallwey and published in 1974. I picked it up at a free bookstore in Holland. Two tennis players had recommended it to me as one of the few good books on tennis out there. 1kz-te Cylinder Head Crack on this page. What I didn’t expect was it would be such a wise book about spirituality. Gallwey was a very competitive tennis player, who found that his nerves would often interfere with his playing.

In a big tournament match, he choked on a very easy volley in front of thousands of spectators, and he writes that he still goes over the shame of that point in his mind. He somehow managed to win the game, and sat waiting for the next match, trying to gather his thoughts.
He thought, ‘what’s the worst that can happen?’ He could lose 6-0 6-0. He’d be ashamed for a while, and then life would go back to normal. So ‘what’s the best that could happen?’ He could win 6-0 6-0, then he’d go on to another match, which he’d either win or lose, then life would go back to normal.
Then he asked, ‘what do you really want?’ ‘The answer was quite unexpected. What I really wanted, I realized, was to overcome the nervousness that was preventing me from playing my best. I wanted to overcome the inner obstacle that had plagued me for so much of my life.
I wanted to win the inner game.’ He set up himself a new intrinsic goal. He eventually set up a school dedicated to this new approach, called the of Tennis. Tim Gallwey Gallwey put forward a dual process theory of mind, at least a decade before cognitive psychologists like Daniel Kahnemann did.
He suggested there are two selves: Self 1, which is analytical and ego-driven, prone to worrying and ruminating, and Self 2, which is more unconscious, intuitive and physical. The secret to the Inner Game is to get Self 1 out of the way, to stop being so self-critical and anxious, and simply let your body play the game, without being too outcome-oriented. You can get Self 1 out of the way by training your attention on each point, for example, or on the sound of the ball – giving your Self 1 some activity to keep it busy so it can let Self 2 do the work. It’s an approach partly inspired by eastern philosophy, and the idea of wu wei, or doing by not trying too hard. Gallwey quotes DT Suzuki’s forward to Zen and the Art of Archery: As soon as we reflect, deliberate and conceptualize, the original unconsciousness is lost and a thought interferes.Man is a thinking reed but his great works are done when he is not calculating and thinking. ‘Childlikeness’ has to be restored after long years of training in self-forgetfulness.
What, then, is the goal of the Inner Game, if not winning trophies? It is a sort of inner treasure.
I’ll quote the entire last page, as it’s unusually beautiful for a sports book! Out of all the human experiences possible, which does the player of the inner pursue? What do we really want to tune into? What do we really want to see and hear, and what do we really want to do? These are the questions that the player of the inner game finally arrives at, and continues to ask until he has found his answer.
That which he can love and which gives him complete satisfaction. Swagatham Movie Mp3 Songs Free Download. For only when man is paying attention to something he really loves can he concentrate his mind and find true satisfaction. So the search is on, the search for the goal of the inner game. Players of the game have given many names to this goal. Some call it self-knowledge, some call it soul, others reality.
It has been called Peace, Truth, Love, Joy, Beauty, Super-Consciousness, and God, as well as many other names in other cultures. But the name is not important because no one has ever found satisfaction by repeating the name; nor have labels helped people learn where to look or how to find that which the names refer to. Those who have experienced the reality behind the label say that it is beyond names which can be spoken and beyond a beauty which can be described. When one undertakes the quest for this priceless treasure, when one searches for the secret which is capable of meeting the deepest longing within his heart, then he has truly embarked on the Inner game. At that point, all the inner skills described in this book will be of help, but the player’s most valuable assets will be his sincerity and determination. My own experience is that the true goal of the Inner Game is to be found within.
