    1. Somewhere, Steven Kotler compares a flow state to satori. From skimming this wiki page, I don't see it. He did some research into mystical traditions and came to this conclusion. He describes flow as a glimmer of awakening which he distinguishes from (stages of) enlightenment. Satori is obviously awakening and is clearly linked to some stage of enlightenment.

      See Steven Kotler referencing flow science as making the supernatural ("A gift from gods") into science.
