Transcription

There's something spectacular in raw curiosity, something self-sustaining, something that brings a person to atmospheric heights unthought of by those who tread the Earth, making us greater than mere mortals for but a moment, as we leave ourselves for that great country called the flow state, that moment we become, like a singularity of ourselves and our setting, and being itself, expanding from the static into the dynamic where anything is possible and we can be anything, this is the essence of learning and growing, it is the only way to become rich—to lose one's selfish self consciousness, one's minding of money and things, and to focus, pure, on the subject which beacons to our curiosity like a beautiful siren on the sea— leading us not to wash up on rocks, but to perfection on this spinning rock in space.
