Spontaneity is an astounding guide. Who/what is responsible for our spontaneous responses to our circumstances? We find ourselves saying/doing things we do not think about saying/doing. Where does that come from? I say from the heart, or from the source of knowing, the Tao itself. But, what do we mean by "heart"? Or "the Tao"? We mean we don't know. We don't have the vaguest clue. We don't know where anything comes from. Creativity. These words I'm writing. Art, music, invention, imagination... We act like we know, swaggering around, explaining things, all logical, rational, analytical... like we know what we are talking about. What do we mean by "mind"? By "unconscious"? By "instinct"? "Intuition"? We are Mystery wandering around in Mystery. "Darkness within darkness, the gateway to Mystery" (Lao Tzu). That's us. Spontaneity is as close to truth as we can get. Revere spontaneity! Explore spontaneity! Trust yourself to it-- even when it leads you astray. Trust "astray"!
