The Experience of Flow and Transe

Transe: A Feeling That Isn't
Transe is a mental state product of the interactional dynamic you may be having with an artifact or person. Like in flow, in transe, you and the artifact or activity become entangled and fuel each other in a self-reinforcing conversational pattern. It is an inertial and self-justifying state characterized by a lack of context awareness. When your eyes are not focusing on anything in the external world, you are in 'transe' with a feeling or thought in your mind. Transe doesn't let an activity cycle close. Transe happens when we lose awareness of the activity cycle.
