‘Dividing my mind into two, is it...?’
Wiggins couldn’t help but chuckle softly at that. The Asian figures of speech had this inexplicable power to fluster him at times. Like now.
Physically speaking, precisely determining what ‘mind’ was would be impossible. No one could define how large a person’s mind was or what shape it was, so how could anyone possibly divide it into two?

Imagine a task of drawing a circle with one hand and a triangle with the other. Some people would undoubtedly do that well from the get-go, while some others would never perform two different motions simultaneously.
In that case, what should those people do so that they could move their hands independently of each other?
The answer was pretty straightforward.
One should repeatedly draw a circle with their right hand until they could do it subconsciously. Once that task had become as natural as breathing, one should focus their attention on drawing a triangle with their left hand next.
