Mind Bomb



I just blew my own mind.

I was processing some things relating to Kung-Fu when I told myself this:

POWER DOES NOT EQUAL EFFORT.

When I hit or kick I can’t tell the difference in power from weak to strong. Often I don’t feel anything and am told the kick had more power. From this I conclude that power feel like nothing. How can I control something I can’t feel? All that changed was technique. When that’s right there is no effort. Effort tries to control or short-cut to a goal, it’s necessary to the process but at some point you have to forget it and not need to feel it anymore.

Why, I’ve always thought the feeling of effort was the same as power. I’m, I’m at a loss how to accept this new thought.
