Here's the reason why you cannot learn anything or master anything. In putting conscious effort and through practice, you learn and master things. When you master things, they become unlearned - they become a natural instinct to you like muscle memory. This is called "emptiness."
What is learned becomes unlearned. It does not mean being an uneducated, shallow person. It means broadening your mind and skills with such effort that all that is learned and absorbed is consumed and fused into your mind and frame of mind. What is learned is no longer textbook information or a technique, you no longer need a book or tutor, as it becomes a part of you like the food you consume. You no longer think consciously about what you have learned and how you learned it.
The movements you practiced in a sport becomes your body's natural movements through muscle memory; the books you have read are no longer written information copied into your mind, but they become a part of your own worldview - words you utter and live by, the words that shape your personality. According to Musashi, this is "emptiness." And emptiness is the way to master anything and become a better person.

·It is in "The Emptiness Chapter" that I write down the Way of the martial arts of the Two-Sword style.
The heart of emptiness is in the absence of anything of form and the inability to have knowledge thereof. This I see as emptiness.
Emptiness, of coures, is nothingness. Knowing the existent, you know the nonexistent. This, exactly, is emptiness.
To be in the world and see things poorly, to be unable to distinguish one matter from another and to regard this as emptiness - this is not true emptiness.
All that is just the mind in confusion.
When you are following the Way of the Martial Arts, you may perform this Way as a warrior, but if you are ignorant of the warrior's practies, you will not abide in emptiness. You will be confused and will not do the things that you should. Though you term this "Emptiness," it will not be true emptiness.
A warrior learns the Way of the Martial Arts with certainty, makes a strong effort in other martial accomplishments, and is not the least bit in the dark about the Way of conducting himself as a warrior.
He has no confusion in his mind and is never lazy at any moment of the day. He polished the two hearts of his mind and will, and sharpens the two eyes of broad observation and focused vision. He is not the least bit distracted by the clouds of confusion, but rather clears them away. You should know that this is true emptiness.
While you are yet ignorant of true Emptiness, you mayt think through your own certain way, relying on neither Buddhism nor the law of society, and think this is good.
But when you see things from the straight Way of the mind, taking in the world at large, you will see that each person will have the preferences of his own heart, and each eye will have its own distortions. Such distortions are turning your
Currently being the only reader and the first reviewer of this book is thrilling! Alright, let's start.
So, this book is literally a conspiracy theory itself.
Silas Orven is a man, a supposed time-traveller, who appeared in a private Facebook group in about 2024-2025 if I remember correctly. In that group he claimed that he came from the future to try and edit the timeline because humanity in his era of the future is having massive problems. If you can "edit" the timeline, it creates a new variable. Our current actions, if they are different, can create a new result and new future timeline. At first, people mocked him, trolled him, dismissed him completely. But when he began accurately predicting specific events, people were stunned and began taking him far more seriously. Some even started idolizing him and treating him like some kind of divine figure, even though he repeatedly said he wasn’t a prophet or anything divine and that no one should worship him. The guy became a sensation, basically.
So in 2025 he published this book and then completely disappeared. No one knows where he is. No one can identify him. His name doesn’t even show up in any global database. Some of his most devoted followers genuinely believe he went back to the future, where he came from.
I read the book, and it’s incredibly well-written. Some parts are genuinely disturbing; his descriptions of the future and the era he comes from are pretty terrifying. It's pretty dystopian. It’s impressive how he explains how time travel supposedly works, and he even touches on several taboo topics like Hitler, aliens and their origins, why they abduct humans, as well as God, the Bible, the Qur’an, who built the pyramids and why, whether humans will achieve eternal life, what happens after death, and so
Shakespeare'in komedilerinden biridir. Diğer oyunlarına göre daha hafif, eğlenceli ve günlük yaşama yakın bir eserdir. Okuması daha kolay ve akıcıdır.
Oyunun merkezinde, para kazanmak için evli kadınları baştan çıkarmaya çalışan Falstaff vardır. Ancak kadınlar onun planını fark eder ve ona karşı kendi oyunlarını kurarlar. Bu zampara şövalyeye türlü türlü oyunlar yaparlar.
Kadın karakterler oldukça güçlü ve zekidir ve bu özellikleriyle ön plandadırlar. Shakespeare'in Veronalı İki Soylu Delikanlı gibi daha erken dönem oyunlarında kadın karakterleri daha pasif ve kandırılmaya meyilli yazarken burada kadınları daha aktif bir şekilde yazması değişikliği gözler önüne seriyor benin için. Kadınların zekâlarıyla olayları yönlendirmesi de eserin en dikkat çekici yönlerinden biri. Bu yüzden ayrıca hoşuma gitmiştir.
Ünlü İtalyan Rönesans sanatçısı Michelangelo'nun seçilmiş şiirlerinin yer aldığı bir şiir derlemesi. İçerik ve temalar olarak da yine İtalyan olan yazar Dante Alighieri'den esinlendiği ve etkilendiğini kendisi de söyler. Bu yüzden bol bol din ve maneviyat temaları görebilirsiniz. Bunda muhtemelen yaşlılığında bu şiirleri yazmış olmasının da etkisi vardır mutlaka. Çünkü yine yaşlılık ve ölüm, Tanrı sevgisi ve ilahi aşk gibi konuları da işler. Mimari, resim ve heykel sanatlarında da yaptığı gibi güzellik algısını fizikselden alıp düşünsel ve ilahi bir güzelliğe taşıyan, yapıtları ile Tanrı'yı yücelten Michelangelo aynısını şiirlerinde de yapmaktadır. Şiirinde de sanat, güzellik ve estetikten bahsederken bile bunu ilahi olana atfetmektedir. Fakat mimari, resim ve heykel sanatlarındaki başarısı şiirdeki yeteneğine pek de yansımamıştır zannımca. Yine de bu etkileyici akıldan çıkan bir şeyi okumaya değer.
