Living in life, the experience of flow and being in life are the same thing. Controlling life is different. Or you could say, the first three are on one side of the spectrum the other is on the opposite side of the spectrum. Sorry, I wasn’t clear.

Controlling life is different.

So your saying it is the same basically. I am seeking just to understand. I thought you were saying that living life and being in life was different. So your saying it is the same basically.

I did not see flow as different from being in life and living life. But just as three different ways to express the same basic concept. That state in which you are so immersed in something that you feel totally filled by it. You loose sense of time passing. Funny. I did not see flow as different from being in life and living life.

Truly, life isn't meant to be done alone. Going for a walk with my boys after a break in the rain during the winter and my youngest getting caught in the mud. My older son trying to pull him out and then falling backwards into the mud and seeing the facial expression change to wonder at the texture of the mud in his young hands as he made a new discovery. Getting covered in mud myself when I "rescued" both boys and all three of us hiking back to my parents home and having my mom take one look of disbelief at us and shaking her head, saying no way are you coming in here like that. Living life is alot messier and much more fun than marking the time as it passes one by. Maybe my living life is like your ‘being in life’ and my looking is like your flow (living life).

But <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29" rel="nofollow">flow</a> (living life) alone is not the solution. There is more. There are plenty of 'being in life' experiences that are not conducive to oneSelf. Indeed. But flow (living life) alone is not the solution. There is more.

Living life is usually messier but oh the joy. And the times when one think one is in total control is when they have lost complete control but just don't know it, yet.
