The claims that I was asked by a friend about the previous post, "The mind of the novice, made me decide to add a small corollary to what is already written.
Speculations pedagogical aside, what's in the mind of the warrior, the bushi ? Hopefully

The Japanese use two words to explain it: Muga Mushin (no one [no ego], no mind), this condition allows the warrior who can reach a near-total access to the sphere of action: this was the act of the warrior becomes something immediate, unfiltered rational.
Action whose sole purpose and whose only means coincide with the action.
'll close in a deliberately nebulous, quoting a passage from the "spiritual lesson for young samurai" by Yukio Mishima:
'The spiritual significance of wielding the sword at the time of the attack, typical of Japanese officials, was to testify that the only' irrational power of the spirit can overcome the limitations of logical calculations and plans battlefield. The essence of the action is irrational energies break with the extent to which rationality has landed. '
