cynicism

I just had an interesting interaction with my buddy, Source.

I have been under the weather, my heart is ailing, and I have been giving a lot of thought to dying… and the things a responsible person does to make their dying easier on the people they leave behind.

I am doing what Source suggested I do to get well, and it is not happening fast enough… lol.

So this morning, in fact a few minutes ago I asked Source if I should do something differently. And the answer was a firm yes.

And when I get a yes… of course, comes the hard part… finding what the heck is that I should do.

Talking to Source is like the game intelligent people like to play, where they ask question to find out what/who the other person is thinking of… and all the questions are to get a yes or a no answer. Not a stupid person’s game…

But from that definition to get to flow, the real flow, you first have to make bad feelings wrong.

As if feelings were responsible and at fault…

But feelings are there for a reason, and resisting them is the stupidest thing you can do.

If we looked what prevents you from entering the flow state, I can promise we would find that you don’t want all the feelings, you only want the good ones.

But most, maybe all gold is in the unpleasant feelings.

I finally got response to my private message to the author of the book “Feelings.” Continue reading “Cynicism, resignation, feeling your feelings… turn your resistance into flow”
