We can define these terms such that I'd agree with the process, but what I see in a majority of people is largely an effort to delude themselves AND delude themselves about this delusion. In other words, you shut your brain down enough such that you'll believe any suggestion, and then you also convince yourself that doing this is actually "better".
Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eLjRgxAgPboThis guy spent his entire life probably pursuing this concept. He does tai chi. He teaches cognitive science.At the end of the day, this flow state is great for the task at hand (say sports, combat, or other forms of work) but it isn't generalized enlightenment. You just shut everything else down. He talks about it like it's much more than that though. You can see his fanatical zeal that this is something you should be in all the time.
>>41702464 Why are you getting so upset? His life, his choice.>You can see his fanatical zeal that this is something you should be in all the time.You sound like a secular fanatic.
>>41702473>Why are you getting so upsetI'm not upset, faggot>You sound like a secular fanatic.Haha, good one
>>41702456>In other words, you shut your brain down enough such that you'll believe any suggestion, and then you also convince yourself that doing this is actually "better".why do people talk like retarded retards saying retarded things that arent true at all
>>41702622"Flow" is the elimination of analysis.
>>41702636eh, analysis is too limited of a word herewhat's really taking place is the culmination of various efficiency enhancements that see the ruminating part of the mind ceasethis does not indicate in any way that one may not think or analyze where requiredjust that the mind does not blather on as an energetic balancing mechanism, because the balancing is achieved via efficiency & awarenessawareness is key because if the awareness is not well focused then the inefficiencies begin to buildwhen a threshold value is reached then the inefficiencies have built up sufficient potential to jump the tracks into higher brain centers, where the random thoughtform consumes the extra potential by virtue of its generation
