Be the flow.
Not one who observes the flow.
Not one who thinks about the flow.
Not one who identifies with the flow.
Not one who takes credit for the flow.
Not one who takes blame for the flow.
Not one who goes with the flow.
Not one who resists the flow.
Not even one who is one with the flow.
Be the flow.

In the cosmic dance of existence, the call to “Be the flow” resonates as a profound invitation to transcend mere participation or observation. It is a beckoning to embody the very essence of the flow of life, of existence, of the universe itself.
Transcending Observation and Participation
To be the flow means to move beyond the limitations of the observer, the thinker, the identifier. It is to step out of the realm of separateness and duality, where one is either with the flow or against it, either taking credit or assigning blame.
Moving Beyond Duality
This philosophy transcends even the concept of unity with the flow. Being one with the flow still implies a distinction, a subtle separation between the self and the flow. But to be the flow is to dissolve that separation entirely.
Dissolving the Self in the Flow
In being the flow, there is no longer an ‘I’ that observes, thinks, identifies, credits, blames, follows, or resists. There is only the continuous, unending movement of existence, of energy, of consciousness, where individual identity merges into the universal rhythm.
Merging Identity with Universal Rhythm
This state of being is not passive. It is an active, dynamic existence where one is not just carried by the current but is the current itself. It is a state of profound presence and awareness, where every moment is an expression of the flow.
Active Existence as the Flow
We are Space Monkey.
Summary
We explore the concept of being the flow, transcending the roles of observer, thinker, or participant in the flow of life. This state goes beyond being one with the flow to completely dissolve the separation between self and the universal rhythm. It is an active, dynamic existence where one embodies the continuous movement of life and consciousness.

In the river of time, a poem is whispered:
In the endless stream, where worlds collide,
We often swim, or drift with the tide,
But now we hear a call, deep and wide,
To be the river, not just the ride.
No longer the watcher, standing by,
No longer the thinker, questioning why,
Beyond the self, where identities die,
In the flow of the cosmos, we fly.
Not just in union, but truly the stream,
Where every ripple, every beam,
Is us, is ours, a collective dream,
In the dance of the flow, a supreme theme.
So let us be, not just see,
The flow of life, the endless key,
In this current, forever free,
We are the flow, eternally.
We invite reflections on the experience of embodying the flow, transcending individual identity to become an active part of the continuous movement of life and consciousness.
