    The anow is the pCIection of an intention inb space.
    Once the arow has been shot, there is nothing morc the archer can do, ocept folloW its path
    to the target. From that moment on, the tension required to shmt the anow has no further
    r€Eson b o<ist. Theefore, the archer keeps his eyes fixed on the flight of the arrow, but his
    heart rcsts, and he smiles.
    If he has practised enough; if he has managed b delelop his instinct if he has maintained
    elegance and concentration throughout the whole process of shooting the arow, he will, qt that
    momenL Eel the presene of the universe, and will see that his action was just.and deserued.
    Technique allows the hands b be ready, the breathing to be precise, ard the eyes b be mined
    on the target. Instinct allows the moment of releaseb be perfectAnyone passipg'nearby, and
    seeing the archer with his arms open, his eyes following the anow, will think that nothing is
    happening. But his allies know that the mind of fte per{n who.made the shgt has changed
    dinensions: it is ncw in buch with the whole universe. The mind continues b wqrk, lerEing-all
    the positive things abott the snot, correctT-g-ffiSlble errors, ,.epfing-lEloil- qralities, and
    waiting b see how th hrget reacEJhetItls_hit.
    When the archer dravrs the Qow-string, he can see the whole worll1! hisiow. When -|q&llglrys
    the flight of the arow, that wor]d grows closer to him,            lim and givp hyn a perfect
                                                                      €sss
    sense of duUirElled
    A wanior of light, once he has done his duty and trantlrnd-hlgjnterlon1nFgeshrre, need
    fear nothing else: he has done what he should have done. He did not allow himself t0 be
