Something I screwed around with a few years ago after reading a book by Robert Masters...

John Lennon wrote the song Imagine after reading on of Master's books. 



The idea for this writing was taken from a book called Neurospeak written by Robert Masters; just like in his book the information is not to be taken on an intellectual level but let the words work as an afterthought.  The idea is to let the words work to let in what is to be let in.   

There is a righty and lefty version of the Neurospeak experiment.  The idea came to me after reading his book on how words influence neurology.  For a more informed 


Ideally one would be in a relaxed position in a chair, sitting with both feet planted on the ground, read the material slowly, each word separate from the others.  Then follow the short instruction afterward.  Either write down or just experience the Neurospeak phenomenon.  


in your imagination focus your attention on the golfball

then focus your attention on the ball and the club head

see the club head above the ball

then expand your awareness from the ball and club head to the shaft

the shaft may be silver or gold or black

see the contrast in colors between the ball, the club head and the shaft

move up the shaft and feel the texture of the grip with your hands

the grip may have a softness to it

it can also be sticky or smooth


go back down the club starting from the grip to the shaft to the club head and notice how they are attached to one another


see the weight of the shaft in your hands

see the texture of the grip in your hands

see the balance of the clubface in your hands

feel the clubface in your imagination


notice how they are separate 

notice how they are one


the club head

the clubface

the shaft and the grip are all separate but they are one

 part of a system

 a whole

the clubface directs the ball 

the club head puts mass behind the hit

 the shaft is a link to the grip

the grip is a  link to your hands


expand your attention beyond the ball beyond the clubface beyond the club head up the shaft toward the grip and into your left hand


the index finger of your left hand feels your texture of your grip and your weight of your club 


you can feel the edge of your clubface with your index finger and thumb of your left hand


you can feel every finger of your left hand you can feel your index finger balancing your club you can feel your texture of your club in your thumb and index finger, you can feel your middle finger of your left hand you can feel your ring finger of your left hand you can feel your pinky of your left hand resting between your index and middle finger of your right hand



focus your attention on your weight of your club head and your shaft and your texture of your grip in your index finger of your left hand


focus your attention on your weight of your club head and your shaft your texture of your grip in your index finger and thumb of your left hand


as your club and your shaft extend into your left hand it becomes part of your left hand

your hand and the club are attached

they are one and the same

you feel your left hand on the club like you feel your wrist attached to your hand 

your left hand and club are attached the way your wrist and hand are attached 


the club head and shaft are part of your left hand

your left hand feels the weight of the club

the club head

the shaft

the grip all have weight 

the club and your left hand are one

the club head 

shaft 

left hand are one


the club and your hands are one like your hands and your wrist are one and your wrist and your forearm are one and your forearm and upper arm are one and your entire arm and shoulder are one


your shoulder is part of your arm is part of your hand is part of your club is part of the system


your shoulder is  your arm is  your hand is  your club is the system



Now go hit a golf shot!
