Mindfulness in Motion: How Quick Actions Can Lead to Deep Insights
How Ancient Buddhist Practices Can Enhance Your Modern Life
By becoming aware faster than your thoughts, faster than these comparisons from memory, you will find that they are actually wrong. You will immediately realize how very limited they are, and how little the knowledge in your mind really is.

It is very sad and childish to judge the entire phenomenon of the universe with such little knowledge. When you stop judging with the mind’s memory, you suddenly return to the primal body.
The Origin and Wisdom of the Body
Do you know where the body comes from? The body has evolved from the entire physical world. The body has memories spanning millions of years, far more accurate than your judgments. This is why in Vajrayana (Tantric Buddhism), they use prayer beads for divination.
Do you know how Vajrayana divination works? When using 108 prayer beads for divination, both the left and right hands pinch three beads each, one by one. In the end, there will be one to six beads left. Each number symbolizes something: one symbolizes success, two symbolizes possibility, three symbolizes waiting, four symbolizes difficulty, five symbolizes stagnation, and six symbolizes future fulfillment. These are the six options you can remember.
The Method of Vajrayana Divination
Vajrayana divination is very simple and can be taught to everyone. You separate the beads three by three with both hands, and in the end, you will get one to six beads. It could be one, two, three, four, five, or six. But there is a requirement: the first time you separate the beads, you must do it quickly.
If you do it slowly, the result will be wrong. You must be quick, quicker than thought. The requirement is to be faster than thoughts, because if you use thoughts to judge, the accuracy will be very low since thoughts can only recall the memories of the past few decades. Thus, their accuracy in predicting the future is very low.
The Accuracy of the Body’s Intuition
Obviously, if you could remember hundreds or thousands of years back, your accuracy in predicting the future would be much higher. So in this method of divination with prayer beads, you must separate the beads at an extremely fast speed, making it impossible to use your mind. Your thoughts can’t keep up.
So who is separating the beads? It’s your body, your hands. When the entire body is involved, it’s accurate because the body has the memories of millions of years. It comes from the universe, from dust, and its memories are so ancient. The divination results are accurate because it surpasses the mind, and what the body can perceive far exceeds your understanding.
The Fool’s Intuition
This is why sometimes a fool can make a prediction. A fool’s nervous system has already collapsed. In some special cases, a person with schizophrenia might make very accurate predictions because they are not using their mind to predict but something else. Their body suddenly provides an intuition or a signal.
Transcending the Mind to Unlock Intuition
When you can transcend the mind, you will find that you start to have intuition. This intuition does not come from thoughts, thinking, understanding, or analysis. It comes from a space beyond thought, and this intuition always seems so accurate and precise. It comes from the body’s intuitive perception of nature.
Perhaps the words here are not precise, but it is the body that knows, not the mind. The body sometimes knows things much more accurately than the mind. The body knows a lot and is always so objective, without the judgments and memories of the mind. So when you remove the mind, judgments, and labels from memory, you will be able to better understand life and the universe.
Embracing Holistic Wisdom
The classic wisdom, which has always been a classic, is that you must transcend the mind. Your mind is quite a narrow limitation, always constraining you. It always guides you with its self-assumed experiences and memories, and you always trust those memories because they are yours. You subconsciously believe these memories are correct, but they are very limited and can be described as pitifully idiotic.
In Hinduism, the mind is described as a pitiful little idiot that knows nothing. In fact, what it knows is extremely limited, so limited it’s pitiful. Entire religions or spiritualities advocate for people to transcend the mind in various ways — through yoga, breath observation, chanting, and love. When awareness is no longer guided by the mind, wisdom begins to unfold.
Wisdom is holistic; it includes the mind but far surpasses it. The mind is like a tiny bean, while wisdom is like the entire universe, so vast and infinite. By comparison, the mind is almost infinitely small.
