One important example is from Alexander the great.
When he was crossing a place somewhere and found his army has got no water left. Everyone was suffering from thirsty. It was extremely dangerous moment for the army.
It was by this time someone came into his tant and dedicated to him one bottle of water.
He took over the bottle and poured the water on the ground immediately.
He did not need to think it over and over again.
Why did he do that? There were lots of discussions in my seminar class many years ago.
Everyone thought that he wasted the water. Someone argued that he should have kept the water for the wounded soldiers.
And I'm still thinking this episode until now.
Will I be doing the same thing If I were him?
Do I need to think for a while?
If I need to think, then I will not be in the level of Alexander the great.
If I am in his level, I will see that is not a problem for individuals. That is a problem for the whole army.
What do you need a bottle of water for the whole army? It was completely useless.
It is a simple question if you were in his level.
We are all goldfish in the glass tank. We can only see the situation in the water. We cannot see it from the air.
Once you could fly on the air and you can see it outside the water, then you will be a genius like Alexander the great.
How can I be flying on the air? I need water. This is the common thoughts for common folks.
Everyone needs money. It is the same as the goldfish. The goldfish needs water and the common folk needs money.
Once you find the reality of the things, once you can see the reality of levels, once you can see that you do not need individual money, what you need is the money for the whole country, then you can fly.
And you can see it in the air, not in the water.
You need not much time to think it over and over again.
You will take action quickly.
And you will win.
Because you were in the upper level now.
