Yes, certainly much overlap. I am intrigued by your statement on lucidity.

I have been having similar thoughts myself.

Going entirely with the flow is to be washed away; dispersed and lost. The stream needs to be navigated consciously. There may be fruitful ‘times and places’ where headway against the stream can be made. And other times where we just need to ‘batten down the hatches’ and go with it trying to avoid the worst of the rapids.

The endeavour might come down to wisdom with the balance of activity and passivity.

Here’s an article I wrote when going through a Gurdjieff phase ;-)

Have you read any Thomas W Campbell?
