“Flawless was always meant to remind us that we are without
flaws, but different, and can be compared to no other
standard, as each life is an exemplar of the flawless living
manifesto…it is the scaffolding that makes it so.”
What is the @F-L-O-W? @F-L-O-W is a social operating system
that relies on scaffolding people, not changing people.
@F-L-O-W is a system based on strengths, informed by
limitations and constructed using scaffolding to bridge the
spaces.
@F-L-O-W relies on the invisible hand of inbornness, rather
than self-interest, to dictate the scaffolding required for
success at the personal, professional, business and network
levels.
@F-L-O-W is founded upon self-knowledge, and our limited
conscious attention in noticing means-ends activities as
Efficient, Effective & Sustainable (EES).
@F-L-O-W is an inter-subjective combination of Teachable
Points of View (TPOV) designed to produce an emphasis on
Inbornness and a relationship to success requirements that are
met through the scaffolding that flows from our design for
happiness.
@F-L-O-W is contrasted with Blank Slate(BS): a system
formalized by Public Relations (PR) and Edward Bernays, which
believes that people can be made to think anything if the
approach is customized to their unconscious motives; versus a
F-L-O-W approach where people are consciously aware, albeit
limited, of what they really want and need, choosing instead
of being influenced; to notice, instead of comparing
themselves to others; to see their differences as gifts, not
as something to be fixed.
@F-L-O-W can be as simple as allowing who you are to become
what you do, and reverse the process of your identity being
your work, rather than your work, being your identity.
@F-L-O-W is formed from 4 pillars: Awareness, Purpose,
Competence and Wellth–a synthesis of well-being and wealth.
@F-L-O-W emerges from 12 elements like a periodic chart, to
create combinatorial effects.
@F-L-O-W is known by it’s fruits: the scaffolded differences
striving for equality and justice in moral living in a new
century of understanding that each of us is flawless, but in
need of scaffolding to optimize our contribution to self, and
whole.
@F-L-O-W is based on the premise that we are differently
inborn, diverse manifestations of 4.5 billion years of an
evolutionary crap game. No amount of equal access, rules or
judgment, or personal change will make us whole, or
successful. Yet the scaffolding for each of us lies to be
discovered, improved and enhanced through the diversity of our
Capability, KSEs (Knowledge, Skills, Experience), Values, Ego,
Personality Dynamics, and the Results that remain as Artifacts
from our Culturally Scaffolded behaviors.
@F-L-O-W is a design that scaffolds EES, lowers consumption of
material resources influenced by global: Peering, Sharing,
Openness, and Collaboration.
@F-L-O-W contrasts Happiness AND Success, while not making it
a game of trade-offs in the process.
@F-L-O-W focuses on scaffolding in the third space, where our
strengths reform and our limitations inform our needs for
scaffolding, support and maturity.
@F-L-O-W means less is more, not more becoming less. @F-L-O-W
favors simplicity on the other side of complexity, with clear
insight about simpleness on this side of complexity.
@F-L-O-W is dispassion, detachment, compassion, and impersonal
love for one another.
@F-L-O-W is Being, Doing, Having and Becoming in a sea of
potential, timeless opportunity and the emergence of
inbornness in all of it’s flavors, flaws, and limits.
@F-L-O-W allows rather than prohibits; designs rather than
fixes; aligns rather than maximizes.
@F-L-O-W is NOT about Happiness AND Success, it is about
equilibrium and the emergence of entropy. Happiness AND
Success are tools that are used to design alignment between a
variety of interdependent systems, all of which are
dissipative structures – living systems that react to
perturbations in an energy and information quest for least
resistance, effortless flow, and purposeful action.
Helpful Hint: @F-L-O-W functions in and among all levels of
complexity, as a lens to notice and guide the natural ebbs and
flows of living systems; that of focusing not on change, but
on scaffolding differences for optimizing contribution from
express self and sacrifice of self inbornness.
Action Step: Can you conceive of yourself and others as
already perfect – manifestations of 4.5 billion years of
creative evolution – not to be changed, but enabled, and
aligned?
Will you accept where you can be in support and of support;
and can you actively dialogue with others about your own
personal discovery, disclosure and acceptance, as in FLOS
Engagement.
If this struck a cord with you then you will want to read and
study the soon to be released book:
@F-L-O-W
Find, design, Use Flow
to emerge
happiness & success
in a post-modern world.
