Going With the Flow
The heart of what follows is eloquently and convincingly presented by Steve Jobs, the genius who made Apple Computer the most valuable, innovative and beloved company in the world, in his 15 minute 2005 Stanford commencement address (watch the whole video).
It seems to some that going with the flow is being submissive and just going along with whoever is around weather or not you like or agree with them just to get along or avoid conflict, and it may look and even feel that way until you understand how to make it work for all involved.
A foundation of this presentation is the concept of Synchronicity introduced by analytical psychologist Carl Jung to describe events that coincide in time and appear meaningfully related, yet lack a discoverable causal connection, which is well researched and verified. There is also The website The Synchronicity Institute if you want to dig deeper.From decades of testing and following Seth's teachings I learned to go with the flow by cultivating the inner wisdom we all posses in a reality where anything is possible, and taking total responsibility for the reality I create. When I manage not to fall into a mind crippling fight-or-flight panic I treat challenging situations as motivating creative opportunities to mindfully create a more desirable reality. I ask myself “Why did I create this” and usually get a good answer sooner or later that I learn from and act on. Inadequate solutions motivate ever more creativity until they don’t. That’s the flow of how the world works for me.
It’s about learning to trust and invoke the vast inner wisdom we all have to guide the necessarily narrowly focused outer ego. The natural role of the unfettered outer ego is to gather information for the inner wisdom to process and create the resulting flow which is often just intuitive if recognized at all, and can be revelatory and life changing.
This requires overcoming our long standing,fear-driven cultural conditioning to mindlessly react to even a hint of threat absent any consideration of its validity and importance. Thus the insane war profiteering, belittling of controlled individuals’ intelligence and influence and curtailed freedom of thought and speech at odds with the controlling regime.
