This may not be exact, as I was driving at the time...

"Listen to your unconscious mind. It's more conscious than you are."

subconscious

Hi,

They probably meant subconscious instead of unconscious.

Pema Chodron notes
"Perhaps the practice of giving the conscious mind a pleasing pattern to occupy itself with somehow clears a space for the subconscious to move into center stage"

that's probably why all those wonderful thoughts come to us while driving or in the shower - it's a form of meditation.

Best,

Well, that or I mis-remembered. :) I think I was trying to figure out which it was, and eventually just gave up and picked one.

indeed, the conscious (ego) mind cannot "think" as fast as the unconscious (non ego)...

wonderful book "inner game of tennis" relates well to juggling and anything that requires being in the zone/groove to really rock.

Neat! Thanks for the book suggestion. Eventually, I might even manage to read it.

My book list is *so* long...
