Harmony and Flow
People by and large are so much more comfortable with “It is good to be in Harmony and Flow with the Universe in a completely vague and undefined sense” than they are with “There are specific, actionable ways to maintain Harmony and Flow with the Universe deliberately.”
And one of those ways definitely is resolving cognitive dissonance and the anxiety it generates by some intellectual or narrative strategy, but to stop there is, obviously, to stop almost infinitely far from total Harmony and Flow, so they’re essentially no better understood.
People have reasons to fear specificity. They may have experienced an ill fit with over-specificity — or just the wrong specificity — in the past, or they may not want to be exposed to mistakes they can make if right ways are specified.
But aversion to specificity itself is just further vagueness. It allows one to avoid specifying what actions they could take or changes they could make.
It’s uncomfortable, and it’s very easy to go, “Oh, discomfort is out of Harmony and Flow with the Universe, so forget it.”
That’s just pure concept, though. Who told you Harmony and Flow with the Universe was comfortable?
If you have never pushed through discomfort and pursued specific ways of experiencing Harmony and Flow with the Universe, how would you know?
