Why Enlightenment Doesn't Exist
1. Flow as a Negation 2. New is Necessary
Flow as a Negation
Advocates of flow often skip over the negative potential of flow. Flow is non-judgmental and non-analysis, it is intuitive action based off of previous judgments and analysis. If one needs to re-analyze, flow is not sufficient for the task, despite flow being an ideal state of mind for many people to inhabit. Flow is a negation of both reflective measurement, as well as the division of something into parts. Flow is also the highest unified realization of action with previous analyses of nature, technology, and humanity itself.
Donald Trump is often in a flow state, having previously fought people, he declares things with confidence, not needing further complications of the seperation of things into its parts. Analysis is a mode of changing the effects of intuitive action and flow. Self-reflection as well as the human-tech-nature tripartite seperate categories function intuitively. To be pulled out of intuition is to change the direction of future action.
New is Necessary
That being said, achieve flow, by all means, but expect to have your vibe killed at some point! In fact, you might want to kill your own vibe so that you can experience the new, the negation of what is outside of you, a mode beyond you. Hyperpsychology demarcates flow as speculative negation of its opposite: analysis and redirection. Intervening into someone’s flow state is necessary if that flow state is based upon previous reflections on the nature of things and self-reflection that the intervener decides is necessary.
Each substantial mode of self-reflection, human-tech-nature seperate speculation, and flow state, have the potential to be a negation of other modes. There is no mode of consciousness that can be said to be the highest mode of consciousness. If there can be said to be a possibility of Absolute Knowledge, it would have to be in the tarrying of substances without prioritizing substances, to engage with emotions in a way which is limited to one’s own knowledge while exploring knowledges beyond one’s self. Even so, any single mode of knowledge and thought contains the negation of the modes which are outside that mode.
The political implications of this are that the end of history within a system of governance is not possible. Governance itself is a tarrying of a variety of internalities which are negations of each other, and states tarry with the negations of each other. To dream of overcoming this via an enlightenment could be replaces with the Absolute Knowledge of speculative negation, of modes of thought which are specific negations, limited to one’s position within being.
To be enlightened is to be closed to the new, and thus it is a self-negation of its own requirement— the highest state of knowing and being.
