-- like karate -- are not sciences. They are arts. There is nowhere really to learn them -- one has to imbibe the spirit. They cannot be taught -- they can only be caught. So you simply start working with people, and forget... don't be self-conscious about it. If a teacher is self-conscious, that creates trouble. Forget about it. I am not interested in any sort of performance. Whatsoever you are doing, if you love, it is perfect. Be devoted to it, be loving to it, and then you will find new things are happening on their own accord. You will be surprised every day that things are coming up in you that you were never aware could even exist in you.
When you are too self-conscious, you become narrow. When the self-consciousness is not there, your unconscious starts pouring. And your unconscious is not yours only -- it is collective. All the karate teachers that have ever been, are, and will be, can all speak through your unconscious.
One great experiment was done in china a few years ago. They hypnotised a few art students who were learning painting. They told each student, in hypnosis that he was a particular master of the past -- that he was a van gogh.
They put the idea deep into the unconscious, and immediately the next day the student's paintings started changing. He was an ordinary student, and within months he became rare -- he started being very talented and a genius. Something of van gogh started penetrating in him... something of the van gogh touch, the same depth, the same vision -- and he was not aware!
Every day he would go to the hypnotist and the hypnotist would hypnotise him and suggest to the student that he was van gogh, reincarnated; that his soul was that of van gogh. How did this unconscious idea work?... And it worked on many students.
They have worked in many dimensions. Somebody is learning music, and they will hypnotise him and say that he is a great composer -- a wagner; somebody is a dancer and they will hypnotise him and say that he is a nijinsky, and immediately changes -- very visible changes -- start happening.
There is a possibility that some day in the future education will be using hypnosis
