This is an interesting one for me. I tend to see myself as undisciplined. In the sense that I live without much structure. I am always working on the present right in front of me. I wait to feel inspired to move. And on the other hand my whole life requires what might be called discipline to many people. So am I disciplined? Maybe we should ask @Undisciplined 🤷‍♂️
I think of being "undisciplined" as the stage after being disciplined, rather than just being an absence of discipline.
Like @Rothbardian_fanatic is saying, once you're capable of being disciplined you can start being productively flexible.
My reaction against being "disciplined" is about not being thoughtlessly rigid in our habits.

You are right @Undisciplined, being disciplined allows you to be “undisciplined after you have done the necessary thinking. Many disciplined people look at second, third or fourth order consequences of what they are doing. The undisciplined may not even look at the direct consequences of their current actions.

I agree. I am so hard on myself as it is. And I have done a lot of work to know myself. And it feels like in the past I had to force myself to be "disciplined". Now I want to flow with my reality. And I feel like I make big things happen. But it doesn't feel like it is because I am disciplined. Maybe I have a bad history with that word so I reject it. I like to feel free. Maybe I am disciplined.

Perhaps you have disciplined yourself to match the vibrations around you in the ether. If you match the vibrations, many things come to you, along with the vibrations you are in harmony with.

This makes some sense to me and is helpful for me. I feel like I have a rigorous practice and no discipline. This helps me make sense of this. Thank you.
