When we were talking about the idea of "Flow" in class, I could really relate to it and found it interesting. Basically Dr. Redick spoke about how it is a state of unconsciousness, and though you are actually conscious you don't realize what you are actually doing. You are completely immersed in what you are doing, and it's like being "in the zone." It's a state that gives you visions and goals, and it's something that I've experienced several times.
Dr. Redick made a reference to playing golf, and being an avid and former high school golfer, I really connected with this metaphor. Whenever I play golf or whenever I played in tournaments throughout school, I experienced this idea of "Flow." It was really surreal and after every shot I made, I could never actually remember hitting the ball. I was so immersed in the moment I entered this state of Flow.
This reference to Flow is an example of how it's a spiritual state. When experiencing this concept, you enter a different state of mind. Whenever I was about to hit a shot, it's like I left my body and was being spiritually controlled. I never realized what I was doing and I never remembered it, but it happened. I find this idea extremely interesting, and having experienced it first hand, I can relate to it as well.
