Lost in FLOW

By michaeljbarry | Devotion to Life | 6 Feb 2020


This is it.

Not to be caught - it is not so elusive - it is just that it is the mind that eludes it.

I have been trying to understand Flow through prescriptions, how tos, programs and any and every intellectual endeavour I came up with.

There is even a book called "FLOW" by mihaly csikszentimihalyi which is quite a pleasurable read... but it does not grant access to FLOW...

It is merely a finger pointing to the stardust that you are made up of... 

It is not to be found... it will find you... to search for FLOW is to avoid it.  

Every single second of every single day it waits for you.  

Every single second of every single day you avoid it.

Why?

Because in FLOW, there is no YOU to experience it... you become LOST in the Experience... YOU ARE THE EXPERIENCE.  

No past, no future, no name - total immersion.

I don't live here.... by definition, "I" can't live there... IT is all there is...

There is nothing to do, and nothing not to do... IT will find YOU... only when there is room... spaciousness... nothingness.

Until then, I write... as a teeter on this verge... not READY to take the plunge... but intent on understanding why...
