It\u2019s important stuff with huge consequences. Think of the misery that has been brought about by \u2018religion.\u2019 A least, this shows that a lot of energy (deep motivation) is present when people <em>do religion<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Following stories about Eastern enlightenment: another filling, same energy.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Just so, nothing special<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Spontaneity is just you, plainly you, simply you being yourself. Nothing special except yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, \u2018you\u2019 are the most special thing in the universe. At the same time, \u2018you\u2019 are inside yourself, in a different way, something like another universe.<\/p>\n<p>Spontaneity is being <u>O<\/u>pen towards this.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Really, <u>O<\/u>pen<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Then it starts to become really special.<\/p>\n<p>Spontaneity is soul stuff. Also within everyday life. Compare it to opening an invisible door. You open it, go through it and everything changes.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Everything<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>which means that it\u2019s very much a challenge. <em>You<\/em> change, and you don\u2019t know what is happening because it\u2019s spontaneous\u2026<\/p>\n<p>and dangerous. You may change in what you don\u2019t like being changed into. Nevertheless, the spontaneous change is towards you.<\/p>\n<p>And towards a new way of looking at everything. A very much more open way.<\/p>\n<p>Everything changes, again and again, continuously, irrevocably.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>What a human being is supposed to do<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>is to go through the door. To be on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>Then to come back and do it all over again. The transition is important and the connection is important.<\/p>\n<p>When \u2018there,\u2019 you may not want so much to come back. But then you may learn that it\u2019s a choice. Mind: if you don\u2019t learn, then you may be thrown back to \u2018here\u2019 with some less gentle force. It\u2019s not that the other side is unfriendly. It\u2019s just that it may be a friendly thing to do at that moment: throw you out.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>So, what is \u2018spontaneous\u2019 for?<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It is to get through. Then, it is to not get kicked out too rashly. Then it is to be and feel and see what this can teach you, can have taught you, will teach you on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p>This is religion. Nothing else is.<\/p>\n<p>It is the meaning of your life. Nothing else is, no matter which doors you find, which mountains you climb, which persons you look into the eyes today.<\/p>\n<p>No matter which idea or emotion appears in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>Doors are everywhere but still if you find one: see how special!<\/p>\n<p>Be spontaneous.
