full-blown macro flow experience. I had an out-of-body experience at the time. I lifted out of my body to watch myself surfing. We now know why all those things happen. But at the time, I was like, what the hell is going on? But I felt great. It was the first time in three years I actually felt alive. I was happy or at least functional. And it felt so good. I caught like four more waves that day.

I caught like four more waves that day.

By the fifth wave, I was done. They brought me home. They put me in bed. People brought me food for like two weeks because I couldn't even get out of my bed to make my kitchen. And on the 14th day, I had a neighbor who was a pro surfer or semi-pro surfer. And I knocked on his door. He didn't even know I knocked on his door. I was like, hey, I'm your neighbor.

I think you need to take me to the ocean because I got to go surfing again. And that was all I did over the course of about six months. I was surfing and having these. I didn't even know they were actually flow states because flow was this sort of smaller thing. I was having this crazy experience. I didn't know what it was, but my health was getting better.

And I, like, still, I'm just, like, lying on the couch in between surf sessions. But it started out as 14 days. And then it was 10 days. And then it was eight days. And then it was six days. And slowly my health is improving. And, like, surfing is not a known cure for chronic autoimmune conditions. So what the hell is going on?

And I really thought I was, even though I was feeling better, I thought I was actually dying because the Lyme had gotten into my brain. I didn't realize these out-of-body experiences, these things that I was having experiencing the waves were actually sort of common in deep flow states. And there was biology in them. I thought I was losing my mind.

I thought the disease had gotten into my brain and it was just eating my brain. That's what was happening. So I lit out on a giant quest, like what the hell is going on with me? And I very quickly discovered that

The same state of consciousness flow that had helped these, you know, the folks in the action sports world go from zero up to Superman was helping me go from like seriously subpar back to normal. And it was the same thing on either side of the equation. And Joe's right. Like if you go into a lot of treatment centers, I'm not talking about like court.

Not the industry around treatment, but actually people who are doing really good work. They're built around flow programs. We now know that flow can override addiction, override PTSD, override burnout. It can do a light... fights against depression and anxiety and bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

It's the only static thing in the world that will treat all those conditions at once because it's optimal performance. We're all hardwired for it. I didn't know any of that. And I didn't know that flow massively improves the immune system and can reset your nervous system.

So we now know why flow cures Lyme disease and is used for autoimmune conditions and addiction and all this stuff that we didn't back in the 90s. I was just trying to figure out, am I dying? And if I'm not dying, am I crazy? And if I'm not dying and I'm not crazy, what the hell is going on? And can I get more of this? How does it work? Can my friends get more of this? Can we control this?
