Drifting into the flow, without a brain hack
Our culture will continue to replace traditional religion with other services that attempt to provide the same thing.
Yesterday, as I was scrolling through the newspaper’s abundance of information, I learned that you can “hack your brain” for $5,000. Here’s the bottom line: we are so inundated with information that we have forgotten how to get into a flow—that steady, productive stream, where we forget to track our time. It is that place where minutes and hours lose their shape and become elongated or shortened like a pair of fickle pantyhose.
The picture looked cult-like creepy, but it also sounded interesting, until I got to this line:
The new generation of flowsters are excited, perhaps, that using the advances of neuroscience, they might not have to meditate every day for 10 years to gain access to these layers of their brains.
