Flow Genome Project

Next-level consciousness and culture.

A functional definition of Flow –– the combination of:

Extreme Situational Awareness (paying attention to much more of what is happening around you)

+

Hyper Ergonomics (lack of friction between my intentions and my actions).

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

Work out the kinks.

In your body, relationships, finances, careers, parenting, civic participation...

Wherever there are drops in voltage––bodily, emotional, cognitive, or professional––work out the kinks.

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

During experiences of flow or "ecstasis", everyday waking normal stops and we get to experience life, ourselves, and our relationship to it, in fundamentally different ways

Let's stop looking at IQ tests, and instead measure the amount of undistracted, deep, meaningful work you can do in a day.

[Jamie Wheal @jamiewheal]

Just joined @drmarkhyman on his podcast to explore transformational states, finding meaning, and the cultural ingredients behind healing, inspiration and connection. Listen here: https://t.co/GqzvrfvvuF

"All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible."
– T.E. Lawrence

[Dr. Michael Gervais @michaelgervais]

In one of our longest, most in-depth, dense conversations to date, @jamiewheal gives a State of The Union of the world, and what we can do to recapture hope and turn this ship around.

Get a pen and paper. Listen multiple times. Jamie is epic. https://t.co/vU5Rx12dHQ

@0K_Doomer @sbkaufman @jamiewheal @donalddhoffman A helpful heuristic for how we can expect things to play out!

[Greg Thomas @gregthomas22]

While in Austin, TX last weekend, I had a great time hanging (and swimming!) with @jamiewheal, @fullydavid, @RandStagen and a mysterious genius with the initials NH.

Regular waking consciousness has a predictable and consistent signature in the brain:

• Widespread activity in the prefrontal cortex
• Brainwaves in the high-frequency beta range
• Steady drip of stress chemicals like norepinephrine and cortisol

Let the Mystery stay the Mystery

(it really is turtles all the way up, down and sideways)

[Jamie Wheal @jamiewheal]

There’s an asymmetric relationship between truth and virality these days.

Do the hard thing and the rest becomes much easier.

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

Advances in science and technology are giving us unprecedented access to and insight about the upper range of human experience, arguably the most controversial and misunderstood territory in history

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

In an era of absolutely uncorked access to information rich peak states, the constraint is no longer “how high can we get” but “what can we hold?”

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

Are you tapping into Symptomatic or Causal Flow?

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

After decades studying peak performance, we’ve come to realize something novel about Flow:

There’s not just one type, and we need more words to describe it:

[Flow Genome Project @FlowGenome]

But just because it’s simple, doesn’t mean it’s easy.

In fact, it’s a lifetime of effort to learn to live into the Effortless Effort of causal flow.
