When facing a swordsman
Chances are, unless you are into kenjutsu or fencing, that it will never happen. You will never face a swordsman.
Nevertheless, your brain is trying (and succeeding) to picture a complete hoarde of ninja-samurai-fremen out to get you. This false reality of ubiquitous clear and present danger it’s everybody’s worst nightmare and nemesis.
However, this is it. This our life or death situation. And it is happening each and every day, every hour of the day.
Your only chance at living a fulfilling and joyful life and maybe even some peace, is to tame the beast inside. That beast is no one else but your own biology.
Notice I am not blaming you. You are not your mind and you are not your body. The brain is designed like this in order to attain survival of the species…thousands of years ago.
Today it is responsible for all you perceive, feel, think and do. It creates your reality. So you better start training on the quest to beat him, to conquer your brain so it acts in your advantage and not against you.
