Ok your sitting in a living room.. tv is blaring, ceiling fan twirling, and a clock is going.. at some point.. you tune it all out except for one noise..

Are there actually sensory limits on the human brain?
And how do they work...

take for instance.. standing in a field. there is knee high grass growing for a rough squarage of 50 feet behind you is a road ahead is a semi-circle of trees. to your left is a stream. to your right is a run down old house. there are myraid bug sounds along with the usual birds chirping. Its autum.. the leaves are many bright colors.

Now you tell me.. why dosent your brain lock up? Can you imagine what would happen if you could tune it all in at once. I guess it comes down to Focus. In the field of your vision, smell and hearing, the human mind tends to tune out alot.. maybe up to around 95% of everything but what your "Focusing" on.

Take for instance a crowed room. 30ft x 40ft. People are carring on conversations.. you stop and about 10 feet away among all the other background noise you focus on a woman talking to her son. Now why could you do that.

my initial thought on this was when i was laying on the couch.. the tv did its.. "ive been on too long on a blue screen so im shutting off" I just layed there.. then i heard the clock tick.. and then i couldnt get the sound outta my head .. tick tick.. tick tick... until i turned the tv back on.

almost like lying in bed and hearing your pulse acutally course through/near your ear drums...

thoughts..?

Once committed to fight, Cut. Everything else is secondary. Cut. That is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. There is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. Cut. The lines are a portrayal of the dance. Cut from the void, not from bewilderment. Cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. Cut with certainty. Cut decisively, resoultely. Cut into his strength. Flow through the gaps in his guard. Cut him. Cut him down utterly. Don't allow him a breath. Crush him. Cut him without mercy to the depth of his spirit. It is the balance to life: death. It is the dance with death. It is the law a war wizard lives by, or he dies.
