So I recently came upon this article about something called a Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, a museum built and paid for by people who believe that evolution, modern science, and the rest are simply wrong. Of course, the message is that those who believe in legitimate science are secular atheists who deny God, and those who believe in what the museum puts forth (based on the Bible) are true believers.
Now my point in bringing this up is not to get into an evolution or religioius debate. It’s to demonstrate how important flow is. You see, with flow you never have to shirk an issue or tell someone “because I said so”.
The museum glosses over many facts and offers little explanation as to why they do so, simply stating “because God wants it that way”. For example, they show graphic images of horrific scenes such as blacks being lynched, stating that this is the result of a godless society. Yet the reality is that those who did the lynching (southern whites) were all Bible-believing, church going people. Likewise, the museum claims that the earth is only 6,000 years old, yet cannot explain how fossil fuel exists since any legitimate oil engineer will tell it takes millions of years to convert bones to oil.
Of course, this is just one extreme example and there are many more from all walks of life and belief systems. One need only listen to a politician to understand that. Human nature is simply to avoid the facts, avoid the truth, and just believe in a “feeling”. But with flow you never have to do that. Flow enables you to always seek the truth and not be afraid to face it when it reveals something you don’t want to deal with. I did not want my relationship to break up, especially since I am a very monogamous person. Yet it did, and it was painful as I had this belief (and it was a belief) that I could fix it or make things right. Today I KNOW what my flow is, and deal with life in that manner — not afraid of the truth.
If someone questions me on what I say or what The Rishis say, I am fine with that. I may not have the answer (and sometimes The Rishis won’t either, although in that case it’s usually the answer is too involved for a 10 second response), but I am not afraid of the question.
So when someone avoids an answer or states “because I said so”, you know there is a flow blockage there.


It's sometimes hard though when our truth differs from someone else's. Then it seems to come down to who has the authority over the final call.
Case in point: a friend of mine got upset with something I wrote in a personal blog, and demanded that I see her p.o.v. and change my post. My truth is completely opposite. So bottom-line, I took the stand that "my truth wins," in this scenario, as I have the authority over my online journal.
Ultimately, I did give her an answer that is close to "because I have a boundary here, and only I get to decide, not you."
So does my answer mean I have a blockage of flow? I see it as a boundary. LOL...and as mad as I was when I said it, I can tell you that anger sure felt like I was in my natural flow!
