    Hi Mark,
    Thanks for the great article.
    But I did not understand certain points..

    I interpreted the sweet spot to be 'being whole' functioning as a single unit..Did i get it wrong here?

    "Perhaps the most important aspect of experiencing the “sweet spot” is truly being in the moment with total awareness. Mind and body work together with no concern of past or future"
    "When both mind and body are completely engaged, amazing things can happen."

    Apparently it all boils down to dissolving the division into a body ,a mind and a whatever... Is it not?
    I understood it to be working in one whole, when the author said : "The entire body functions perfectly right down to the cellular level."
    Am I right here?

    But then I did not get what he means when he equated the "sweet-spotness" to satori while defining Satori as "the place where our senses remain consciously apart from their corresponding sensory objects in order to perceive them, while being in immediate participation with the foundation of all realities. "

    and later saying the following:
    "Therefore, the key to living in the “sweet spot,” or in satori, is to be aware of the mind and to know its true nature. By understanding the mind’s nature, one can begin to be aware of how thoughts distort our perception of reality and how thoughts influence our reaction to it."

    What exactly is meant by being "aware" of the mind? Who will be aware ? of what? And the moment, we are saying I have to aware of my mind .. am I not bringing in a 'division' here? A mind which is to be made aware of and an 'I' which should be aware of the mind?
