as it turns out, csiksentmihalyi's (sp pls???) book on flow was the ONLY worthwhile thing in my abortive gradschool career so i ate it up. he spent a lot of time talking about how the evaluative mind is turned off when in a true flow state. sure was true on the rock, just as it is in improvised music, recumbent cycling, and a host of other things. this switching off of the evaluative mind is one of the stronger components of the true flow state that continually draws me to it. that and time compression.
