links to 2 min video clip.. where johann tells of 3 things to do to get to flow..
flow state is the most precious and deepest.. but also the easiest form of attention..
to me.. esp the first.. is one of the reasons we haven’t yet gotten to flow
ie
1\ have to choose one goal with significant time to do it.. if choose 2 or 3.. you’ll never get into flow.. t
perhaps a roadblock itself.. thinking we have to choose and stick with something
year 3 of lab.. even if picked own curriculum/goal.. compromised.. the it is me.. find the bravery to change your mind.. et al
huge roadblock to the energy of 8b alive people
imagine if we listened to the itch-in-8b-souls 1st thing everyday & used that data to connect us (tech as it could be.. ai as augmenting interconnectedness)
need 1st/most: means to undo our hierarchical listening to self/others/nature ie: tech as it could be
2\ have to choose goal meaningful to you
even thinking you have to choose a goal.. is a cancerous distraction
3\ choose something at edge of abilities but not beyond it
again.. thinking too much about it.. need instead.. to listen for the itch-in-your-soul.. 1st thing.. everyday
if do those 3 things you max your chances of getting this kind of deep/gusher of attention that exists in all of us
actually you max chances you’ll be faking it sooner or later.. and so.. you’ll keep yourself from ever truly getting there
