The Power of Spontaneity

     Spontaneity connects us positively to the form and flow of the present moment. This harmonizes the various energies of the body and mind. It is important to understand that the mind and body are not two. They are one.
     From dead thinking, it revitalizes the body, sharpens the intellect, and awakens the heart. To cultivate spontaneity is to cultivate a sense of interconnectivety between oneself and the world. It is to mingle the individual will with the will of the world, in contrast to erecting a will in opposition to the forces and energies of one's environment. This environment includes one's own body and one's own very nature. it is a reawakening of life in an individual. A reawakening of spirit and self-consciousness.
     Spontaneity appears in sharp contrast to the ever deepening compulsive nature of much of mainstream society across the world. This compulsiveness is a deadening of the human spirit and a weakening of the collective human will. The spirit of spontaneity is alive. It is what makes life, life. It is the creative novel formulation of life in the present moment. It is rejuvenating. It is the ever-rejuvenating spirit of life. Taking the old, right now, always now, and making it anew. This is the way the world is, we just don't recognize it because we are often dead in spirit. Dead thinking, dead doing, and dead being. Sleeping in the mind as we go about our days in our bodies. We are asleep to the spontaneity of life and because of this, the life in our bodies is diminished.
     True spontaneity is the key to the rejuvenation of the self. The re-awakening of spirit and the human spirit in the body. True spontaneity carries within it the spark of life, that when found can not only awaken an individual, but also reinvigorate society and civilization as a whole. True spontaneity is sight, or a glimpse, of the Whole. When properly cultivated, this sight matures into a direct awareness of the Whole through the awakened senses of the body: which include the senses of the mind and the powers of the intellect. I use this awareness or sense of the whole constantly. I use this awareness, or sense, of the whole constantly. I use it to write. I am using it to write right now. It is how we are inspired by and interpret the truth. So it is essential that we maintain this connection as we maintain ourselves and our world. Without it we are lost in darkness.
     Spontaneity is the doorway through which we enter into the room that carries the torch of wisdom, which we use to maintain and enhance the integrity of the world. It is one of the gates to the divine and sublime through which we may pass through in times of darkness to re-awaken the human spirit and to cast aside the dangerous forces of evil. I do not mean evil as in the moralistic duality of evil versus good. I mean evil as that which degenerates consciousness and wisdom. I use the word because it evokes a powerful response within us. A response that will bring the vital importance of what I am saying to bear. It is a matter of life and death: the degree to which we participate in this alchemical transformation, one way or another. The degree to which our species participates is the degree to which we are saved from the debts we have incurred on our planet.
     One Christ will not do, we already have more than one. We need many more. Hundreds of thousands if not more. And the time to awaken is now. We can become angels. The angels of our own salvation. I cannot stress enough the importance of such an undertaking... And I cannot stress enough the importance of the degree to which we transform...
     We must strive to eradicate all pretense and presumption from our minds and hearts. To clearly see the scope in which dogma has invaded our consciousness and our consciences, and to understand how to supplant it. To not only see and understand, but to act and to be increasingly committed to liberation. Of oneself and eventually of all peoples.
     So why spontaneity? Who not write about intuition or God. Like I said before, spontaneity is about intuition and God. Spontaneity is the force in direct opposition to the compulsive and conditioned beast that has overrun our world. It's the opposite and end of dead rigid conventional thinking. It's dead when its totally disconnected from anything meaningful or purposeful. When it feels like your shoveling more dirt onto a coffin that you reside in. The stifling of life's exuberance, the deadening of the heart's passion. The sleeping of consciousnesses and amnesia of being anyone or anything at all. Empty wood and a cold fire. Cities without people in them. Where has the life gone? Out the window of a now empty room.
     I believe the Dalai Lama said that our present times are like a room full of nice objects without anyone in it. He describes here our bodies without spirit, joy, presence, or self. Without being. When we are completely lost in senseless thinking, we lose feeling, we lose touch with reality, our senses, and cease to exist.
     Spontaneity keeps us grounded. It keeps us alive. It allows us to smell, to think and feel. It opes up space where we can be. Where we can explore our feelings. Where we can see the world more clearly. Where we can wonder who we are and why this works the way it does. It keeps us curious and can make us more curious. Maybe to the point of going deeply within ourselves. Perhaps to the point of discovering who we are. Here, and Now.
