"flow state" eh? Seems to explain a lot. I know I've had a couple moments practicing kung-fu where all of a sudden everything clicked and as you said; "you channel your intent through the practiced prism of your skill.". They were moments where I thought with my body and moved with my heart, a state I was unsure of what to call.
It's Intriguing as well as logical linking these different yet similar states together, gives me the drive to put forth the effort required to draw closer to grasping said states.
Those words may have been harsh(I hadn't found them too much so) but they are words needing to be heard. Please continue to lay out your thoughts in the future without being overly worried about offending delicate sensibility's!
