Ascended masters knew that true self-mastery could only be achieved by aligning our internal energies with the forces of nature surrounding us. The result of such alignment is what people call the 'flow state'. You reach this state when you become immersed in what's going on, both inside and outside you in the course of a particular activity. When carrying out a specific task, for instance, you are in flow or in the zone when you lose yourself in the task at hand, so much so that your focus shifts from the 'doing' of the task to the 'being' of it. Walking, talking, or breathing are typical examples of a pure creative flow. Creative flow occurs when thoughts, actions, and intentions are aligned towards a common creative purpose. It's how you express your authentic self.
