Hollie Reid Pilgrimage #2

Flow is when action and awareness merge, creating the ability to experience joy. You are not able to fully experience flow unless you completely encompass yourself in whatever action in which you are partaking. If you are able to totally involve yourself in this action, you become almost mindlessly involved in whatever you are doing. There is no conscious thought process dictating your actions. When you place all your attention on one thing, you lose sight of yourself because you are completely invested in your actions. Sometimes, it is difficult or undesirable to interrupt the flow. It is a tricky concept though, because if you become conscious, or aware that you are experiencing flow, the flow will be interrupted. I think this ties into Lane's third axiom because if you are looking for a spiritual journey or are aware that what you are on is a spiritual journey, you will not experience a liminal occurrence because you are too busy looking for it and you will not notice when one actually occurs because you are not encompassed in the flow.
