In the 1970s, Csikszentmihalyi introduced the concept of flow state, which has become well-known. It's similar to what we're discussing here, and it highlights the problem with extreme values and introversion versus extraversion. Extraverted individuals have always tried to convert introverted individuals into being extraverted, but they are beginning to realize that it's likely 50-50, and introverted individuals don't need to be converted. If an introverted individual has something to share, they can also go out and socialize with people and become extroverted on that topic. This concept is highly ambiguous in science, but Csikszentmihalyi's flow state is a good direction to explore. It's not a new concept, as it's present in Radja Yoga Buddhism and other teachings.

What we need at the beginning here is the roughness to perceive ourselves when we receive strong external input. Improving our body perception is a challenge, and we must see it as a challenge that we can continue to learn from. First, we need these rough concepts to develop ourselves, and they eventually lead us to refine our abilities. There are very few Qigong-Tai Chi teachers who can teach without aggression. However, when it comes to combat, aggression is not the answer. We cultivate kindness, which is a fundamental requirement to achieve the flow state.
