4 Rules for the Autotelic Self (Flow)
By V on Dec 13, 2006 in Bars, Products, Ramblings
- Setting goals - to be able to experience flow, one must have clear goals to strive for.
- Becoming immersed in the activity - after choosing a system of action, a person with an autotelic personality grows deeply involved with whatever he is doing.
- Paying attention to what is happening - concentration leads to involvement, which can only be maintained by constant inputs of attention.
- Learning to enjoy immediate experience - the outcome of having an autotelic self-of learning to set goals, to develop skills, to be sensitive to feedback, to know how to concentrate and get involved-is that one can enjoy life even when objective circumstances are brutish and nasty.

Damn man, looking back at how far you have come since your first post up to your latest, it’s just fascinating. I’ve learned a lot from reading your posts and other’s comments. Style mentioned in an interview about how parental relationships affect a child’s psychology. Just out of curiousity, how would you rate your childhood? What experience did you have in your childhood that led to your development before the partaking in the community?
P.S. I dont know if you’re going to read this post, but notice how no one commented you in your early posts when you were an ‘AFC’. Funny how people’s preception of you changes when you have women.
I honestly don’t remember much about my childhood. There are certain flashes of moments like getting stickers for good work in grade 1 and building castles in grade 3.
My parents called me a hell razer that needed lots of spanking to be “good”.
Throughout life, before getting into the community, I had suicidal thoughts often. I was doing “great” with school and life, but I still felt that there was something wrong. It wasn’t until I found the community that I’ve realized the problem is society.
