Welcome!

Flow's Gamut

Welcome to Flow Fractals.  A place to come for reflection and insights into the flow of life. Life is an endless pool for flow activities.  An experience, when in flow, is pure joy.  Per Wikipedia:

Flow is the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.

When flow is aligned with a purpose in life, living becomes beautiful and eternal.  That is the goal, find your purpose to use as the anchor and find flow activities and experiences that link to it.

Fractals according to Wikipedia are:

A fractal is generally “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole,” a property called self-similarity.

fractal that resembles the "human consciousness"

I use it here as a metaphor to the thousands, NO trillions of situations, aspects, and perspectives of the human consciousness.  Be it working in corporate America, an encounter with someone on the street, a president elect, playing a sport, a religious debate, judging someone, laughing, thinking about Sudan, making love, meditating or praying or riding a horse.  All of these activities and millions more are self similar, a reduced copy of the whole – the whole of which is the cohesive human consciousness.

In sum, flow is the ideal mental state within an activity and fractals represent the infinite amount of activities for us to participate in throughout this massive and tightly linked construct we find ourselves in.

I am a passionate reader, I find myself in flow when reading.  Add to that the amazing functionality of the Kindle and I am in heaven.  I did get a warning from a senior adviser of mine called Albert Einstein:

Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

I took Albert’s advice to heart and I am going to put the kindle down every once in a while and use my brain by logging into wordpress and sharing my reading and thoughts.  I am enthralled by the daily back and forth between the human brain and the subsequent human action, which we generically group under the umbrella of economics.  Economics must be accompanied by politics as they never want to be left out so we will have a little of that.  I also enjoy sports as that is the chaotic life, or the best reality tv show out there, in its essence so I will be sharing on that front as well.

I enjoy reading books that have to do with Business and Economics, Philosophy, Positive Psychology, Personal Development, and Spirituality.  I am particularly interested in how these bodies of knowledge provide foundations for the creation and modification of individual consciousness.  I will try to take you through these books as if you were there, perched quietly above the lima green case.
