<DAK, thought precedes action. > Perhaps... but no, not necessarily. Any master of any art or sport flows 'in the zone' without thought. Think of the tennis player in a wild baseline rally. He's NOT thinking about what is happening. He's doing. Michael Jordan is not thinking about the right 'ooomph' on the turn around jumper: "Oh, I'll push like that one in the 7th game last year". No... in fact thought often preceeds INACTION: Oppps I was thinking about CDMA in China when I blew that stop sign and wasted that kid on the motorcycle... ie didn't stop. Or: "Maurice... havent' you finished the godamn dishes YET?? You've been standing motionless at the sink for 5 minutues! Are you THINKING about CDMA IN CHINA AGAIN!" By definition thought is basically inaction AND is essentially a messaging of data already stored, nothing new coming in. So for a problem you want to sit down and figure out later, nice. For fresh creativity and genius... naw. "Thinking" is an important tool... but often not necessary. In fact, I think it would be interesting for you to sit down and write down every thought you have for an hour... I won't even mention what % I think 1/2 as important as what you think it is. But go on and indulge... run the CDMA movie through your mind again, it feels good and comfy... same ending... ahhhhhhhhh. DAK
