Now: Spontaneity knows its own order, and it is from spontaneous order that all secondary classifications of order emerge.

(Pause.) What you think of usually as order is an aspect of the spontaneous order that is within and behind the “mechanics” of all physical actions. The usual idea of order is greatly concerned with serial time, but spontaneity’s natural order, with its origins outside of time, has “all time to play with.”

The spontaneous self was never meant to appear as an alien to the conscious personality. The spontaneous self, of course, represents your closest private touch with the universe, with your origins, and with your relationship to All That Is. Your impulses, intuitions, and creative abilities have always innately provided open channels of communication through which man was guided toward those probable actions most beneficial to his private reality—and those actions would automatically, again, add to the best probable reality for the species as well.

(Long pause.) Consciousness makes its own patterns. Creativity is still the closest field of endeavor that can possibly teach you about the origin of the species, for your creativity mimics that higher creative spontaneity, out of which all (underlined) order emerges (again intently).

Now: the characteristics of the settled-upon sperm and egg predominate, but these are also related—in a manner most difficult to describe—to all the other sperm who did not make contact with that given egg, and also to the other eggs that might have formed instead of the one that did (all intently).

There is a gestalt relationship between all the sperm, say, in a man’s body at a given time, in which the sperm that do not connect still add their latent characteristics to the one that seemingly triumphs. In a fashion (underlined twice), they pool their resources, and climb aboard the one ship that makes it to the shore (animated and restless).

(Pause.) All creativity is basically joyful, it is play in the highest sense of that term, and it is always alive with motion. The sessions and our work can help bring about a new mental race of men and women. (Whispering:) Ideas change the chromosomes, but the sessions and Ruburt’s books, and so forth, must first and foremost be joyful expressions of creativity, spontaneous expression that fall into their own order. So have him avoid undue feelings of responsibility and heavy-handed attitudes.

He should indeed reread those sessions that he read today, and you paint because you love to paint, and forget what an artist is supposed to be or not to be. Have Ruburt forget what a writer or a psychic is supposed to be or not to be. Ruburt’s spontaneity let all of his creative abilities emerge. It is foolhardy to try and apply discipline, or secondary order, to a spontaneous creativity that automatically gives you the finest order that nature could ever provide.

(“I guess you’ve gone into my main question, about the sperm: If practically all of them are never going to fulfill their primary purpose, what other roles do they have in life?”)
