TAKE CHARGE WITH THE MASTERLIST
All action on projects, cases, or mere PWIP (Personal or Professional Work in Process) involves a direction,with flow, through a continuum of potential action choices, which are focalized assemblages of actual, visualized, or conceptualized possibilities.
Taking charge of the direction, flow, and choice of potential actions in your project, case, or PWIP environment is something like a reality engineering case study.
If you choose a direction among many directions without accurate consideration, you may be wasting time and opportunity. If you choose to pressurize or speed-up flow, without accurate focus or direction, you may simply step on everything and everyone around you in a manic, pressured, mean-spirited way that results in non-harmonious flow along your action path.
So, how can you take charge of this process to get a smooth result that makes life feel like it's worth living and that your career and other choices are OK?
First, you must understand the elements involved. Since you can act in many directions, there are directional choices. Since you can only act in an instant in the time continuum we call Now, all directional choices are constantly being refreshed or at least capable of constant refreshment. (You couldn't turn on a dime, if you always bull-headedly forced yourself into a rut of action. So, to have sword-like play of the mind, and to be able to mentally fence with all possibilities in all directions, you have to have a flexible mind.)
Second, you must consider that time is an abstract path which provides continuity to your sense of being (time continuum), which runs like a river through a landscape of possibilities over which you have some directional control.
Third, you must consider that the assemblage of possibilities is dictated by your inner control of the focal point, which dictates everything about how you choose to act upon the assemblage.
Having said all that, you can decide to take charge of all this; or not, by studying the instant, finding a focal point in the assemblage, recognizing the rate or pressure of the flow through the moment, and consciously choosing how to act upon the assemblage.
Ultimately then you are working upon reality in a series of action assemblages controlled by you. What lays ahead in a continuous series of focalizations are the aspects of reality assemblages that you choose to work upon, or "bench". The MasterList provides a workshop environment or context for that work, allowing you to shift your focus constantly, without losing continuity, unless by choice, on any particular aspect of any particular assemblage.
Among those who control the world and protect the state
there's no one who doesn't employ swordsmanship in his mind
-Yagyu Muneyoshi [1529-1606].
The MasterList is a tool to enhance swordsmanship of the mind in controlling the aspects of the world you choose to act upon, as you manage your path through your personal continuum of action.
