Going with the flow also means (IMO) flowing with the energy of Infinite Intelligence; and this is fundamentally benign, interested only in healing and in raising consciousness and awareness. This very same flow is resisted through fear, control, blame, anger, envy etc etc, leading to alienation and suffering.

YES! Benign, the perfect word to describe it. My thoughts follow these same paths, but you are further along in internalising it.

we resist reality when we manifest our Control Issues.

There's a saying in AA that you can change anything, except for people, places and things. I'm learning how that works. Matt Johnson of The The said it nicely in Lonely Planet on the Dusk album.

If you can't change your world, change yourself...

Nice post my friend. I'm glad @wanderlass made the suggestion. It's all rather timely with where I am now, right here in the present. See what I did there?
