Allow yourself to understand that the relaxation you experience when you "go with the flow" is not "giving up control", it is "taking control". It is just that the natural control you already contain doesn't meet with resistance.

Our civilization has only been taught to see "control" when it contains resistance.

In other words,"I'm in control because I can feel it resisting me". This gives  the illusion that if there is no resistance, there is no control. In fact, it is the complete lack of resistance that let's you know you have arrived at your center of perfect peace, where all possible internal linkrealities are equal, and it is easy to  choose the one you prefer, because no reality has any more importance than  any other one. There is no internal linkdefensive "I'd better do this, or else."

There is only the understanding of the thing that needs to be taught to every child on the planet, and that is the knowledge that every single individual on this planet is already as powerful as he or she needs to be to create any reality desired, without having to hurt yourself, or anyone else, to get it.

That's how powerful you are.

The holistic sensation that people feel when they act with total involvement has been called the flow state. Csikszentmihalyi describes it as follows:

'In the flow state, action follows upon action according to an internal logic that seems to need no conscious internal linkintervention by the actor. He experiences it as a unified flowing from one internal linkmoment to the next, in which he is in control of his actions, and in which there is little distinction between self and environment, between stimulus and response, or between past, present, and future. . . . . one may experience flow on the battlefront, on a factory assembly line, or in a concentration camp.  The experience is one of complete involvement of the actor with his activity.

The activity presents constant challenges. There is no internal linktime to get bored or to worry about what may or may not happen. A person in such a situation can make full use of whatever skills are required and receives clear internal linkfeedback to his actions; hence he belongs to rational cause and effect system in which what he does has realistic and predictable consequences.'

M. Csikszentmihalyi, _Beyond Boredom and Anxiety_ (Jossey-Bass Pub., San Francisco, 1975), 36.

book _Flow: The Psychology Of Optimal Experience_atomjacked inventory cache  by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

You have heard about how a musician loses herself in her music, how a painter becomes one with the internal linkprocess of painting. In work, sport, conversation or hobby, you have experienced,  yourself, the suspension of internal linktime, the freedom of complete absorption in activity. This is "flow," an experience that is at once demanding and rewarding--an experience that Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates is one of the most enjoyable and valuable experiences a person can have. The exhaustive case studies, controlled experiments and innumerable references to historical figures, philosophers and scientists through the ages prove Csikszentmihalyi's point that flow is a singularly productive and desirable state. But the implications for its application to society are what make the book revolutionary.

Synopsis
People enter a flow state when they are fully absorbed in activity during which they lose their sense of time and have feelings of great satisfaction. The author, a pioneer in this astonishing field of study, clearly explains the principles of "flow" and shows how it can be introduced into every level of life.

An even more aggressive form of internal linkmagical Jewel-internal linkNet combat was the flame. After binding their opponents in a web, vengeful Virtuals would them destroy them with psychic fire. Those victims who were too caught up in the web of their illusory convictions to release themselves would be unable to move, and would either suffer greatly or return the flame. Like the internal linkTibetans, the ngHolos believed that the violent flames were ultimately compassionate, in that they destroyed the unregenerate selfhood. Still, the Virtuals prefer to contrast flames with the flow of internal linkwater. By flowing, one escapes through the path of least resistance, dissolving the web of selfhood and extinguishing the flame. The flow also becomes the subtlest and most powerful form of counter-attack: the unceasing yet gentle pressure of water eventually erodes the hardest rock[6].

A internal linkprocess cannot be understood by stopping it.   Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

20) The Law Of Conduits and Content

This law comes in the form of a commandment to divorce content from conduit.  The less content a internal linknetwork owns the more content flows through it.  If you are a content company, you want your content to travel on all networks, not just your own.  If you are a conduit company, you want to carry everyone's content, not restrict yourself to your own.  Companies that violate this rule (ATT, AOL Time Warner) tear themselves apart.  The dumber the network the more inteilligence it can carry.
