“The most perfect technique is that which is not noticed at all.” – Pablo Casals
In many areas of life there is movement from coarse to fine. The development of motor skills, the forming of language skills and the generation of technical skills take time, there is almost no limit to how far you can go in any of these areas when you set your mind and heart to it.
When you start something new, it is unfamiliar and you typically feel awkward. As you move progressively toward mastery of any skill, you should be able to accomplish the same task with less energy and less apparent difficulty.
There is also a point at which you will need to “let go” of everything you’ve learned to continue in the progression from coarse to fine. Mastery is much more than mental domination or control of a subject; mastery involves a blending or union with that over which one has mastery. Think Jimi Hendrix, Pablo Casals, Conrad Homfeld or Daniel Day Lewis. All four men moved from technical expertness to virtuosity in their respective fields.
Technical expertise is only the beginning.

Behind what is not noticed is usually a lifetime of practice and experience in a given field, which makes it look easy to the casual observer. I’m always amazed at how the process of learning evolves and can turn into an amazing, beautiful example of artistry in life.

I appreciate your examples. There is a notable humbleness in most that have reached this epitome of refinement. I know some would regard themselves as perpetual students. Perhaps it is that they have discovered the eternalness and limitlessness of the soul.
