Being an Earthling is about choosing to live in a way that enables “flow” - our natural state of being.
Flow is our natural state of being – and the bigger question is are we feeling the ease of flow right now or not? I had this exact thought during my conversation with Creative and Business Coach Oli Anderson for his podcast the "Creative Status."
Was I in flow? As Oli asked me about my journey and the idea behind “EARTHLING's”, we allowed the conversation to flow. In this allowing we were surprised to draw parallels not just with each other’s life work but also with the universal notion of Truth. Here, we refer to Truth as a standalone topic drawn from the realization that every one of us is seeking this very “flow state” every moment as we continue to live and be – and this is the “truth” of our existence.
Too much? Let me make it lighter:
What does being in flow “feel” like? Doesn’t it feel good, uplifting, happiness and joy even, ease, peace, right, exactly where we want to be, alive? And when do we experience this feeling? Maybe when we do something we love, choose what makes us happy, follow our passions, do something that thrills us, choose ease, breathe, meditate, be in Nature, or whatever it is to you.
So as Oli and I dove into the conversation, I experienced most of the above – especially as we spoke about our mutual love of writing:
As we reveled in this flow, we attracted more – the “law of attraction” proving itself – that we attract what we focus on. When our flow is blocked by resistance – meaning our desires and belief do not match - we attract the “negative” feeling of resistance and manifest a life that prevents flow/ more negative emotion. In dealing with this, we unveil one of the most important questions that we ask as a human race (echoing the concept of Truth – as discussed earlier) – "how to be in flow?" The answer to this lie in the entirety of our conversation and you can listen below:

In this quest, we also realized that allowing flow is about “trusting the process” – which is a moment-to-moment choice. Trusting the process itself is about choosing to be in flow (as discussed above) as opposed to negative thinking, or to quote Joseph Campbell “Following our Bliss” – and this is exactly what I refer to as “being an earthling”.
