Congratulations on another very interesting episode! I was thinking about what you said about the beginner mind and motivation and how to the expert there are no options, and my thought there is that, as you progress through training, behind every little detail there is just a world more to learn. So, maybe keeping an open mind means acknowledging that through training we just access even more to master within the ever smaller getting confinements of what we already know, and being motivated means to keep getting excited about the smaller and smaller steps (which are not actually smaller because they move into a different dimension, so instead of forward they go deeper). I hope this makes as much sense to you as it does in my head :)

It certainly makes sense! "Instead of forward they go deeper" is a nice way to put it.
