Going with the flow could be part of how we navigate life and our attitude to a situation. Flow moves us beyond subject and object – beyond the belief in absolute duality. This includes the way of seeing the world as an empty space full of objects which collide and conflict, in which we are one of those objects.
At the same time, when we open to the unknown, we’re not only referring to what we do, but also our availability to receive impressions of the ‘world’, unconditionally, which means to release into the freedom of pure experience without censorship or the restriction of fear.
The mystery of being has many doorways prior to action.
One way to find the bliss in this is to agree to not know and to stay in that open door of not knowing.
Who am I? I don’t know.
What am I? I don’t know.
Where am I? I don’t know.
What should I do? I don’t know.
When we can let ourselves shine in the purity and humility of that at first awful insecurity, an awakening happens – a kind of baptism in the unknown. We move from the awful not knowing to the awesome receptivity of being open to all knowing. We shift from needing to know, based on our deeper fears, to the wonder of revelation/ guidance/ intuition.
There is a receptivity that opens up together with the humility and curiosity that allows us to receive impressions without grasping for conclusions.
In a way, then we are no longer going with the flow, but the universe is flowing into us, offering precisely what is needed for the wellbeing of the whole (including us).
The flow is that pure movement of life in which the unknown and the know melt into the freedom of knowing.
