there's a very important hallmark missing here-
inherent in the true flow state is an extreme minimizing of outside stimuli-a degree of annhialation in which the outside, non-flow related world doesn't exist. as a former rock climber and a frequent participant in the flow state, i offer this example: there were many times when the world was condensed into nothing more than the six inches of rock in front of my nose-you could have hit me w/a 2x4 and i wouldn't have flinched, noticed,or remembered.
