Flow Patterns
You know that moment when a conversation suddenly "clicks" into flow? Or when a stuck project suddenly finds its rhythm? These aren't random events - they're examples of natural flow patterns at work. Let's explore how these patterns move through the three-body structure.
Known → Knowable: Extension of Awareness
This is like reaching out to touch something you can see. It's the most familiar flow pattern because you use it constantly:
When you follow a train of thought
As you explore a new skill
While getting to know someone
When investigating a problem
Notice how this movement feels in your body - there's often a literal reaching or leaning sensation as your awareness extends into the Knowable.
Knowable → Unknown: Exploration Boundary
This is the edge where familiar territory meets pure potential. You experience this:
When a conversation enters new territory
At the limits of your current understanding
Where your skills meet new challenges
In moments of genuine curiosity
This boundary isn't fixed - it moves with you as you explore. Feel how different it is from the Known → Knowable movement. Instead of reaching out to something you can see, you're touching the edge of what's possible to see from where you are.
Unknown → Knowable → Known: Information Emergence
This is how genuinely new patterns enter your experience:
The moment a solution "clicks"
When you suddenly understand something
As inspiration strikes
While learning through play
Notice that this movement often passes through the Knowable before becoming Known. Like water condensing from vapor to liquid to ice, new patterns usually need this intermediate state.
Important: Flow Can Move in Any Direction
These patterns aren't one-way streets. Information constantly flows:
Known things becoming mysterious again
Familiar skills needing fresh exploration
Understanding deepening through cycles
Certainty dissolving into possibility
Practical Application
Try this exercise:
Pick any learning experience you're in the middle of
Notice which flow patterns are active
Feel where movement is smooth
Notice where it's blocked
Experiment with different directions of flow
Watch for these patterns in:
Conversations
Creative projects
Problem-solving
Personal growth
Any evolving system
Remember: You're not creating these flows - you're learning to recognize and work with patterns that are already present. The more you notice them, the more naturally you can participate in them.
