[...] This is not “blind instinctive behavior” at all, but the result of well-ordered spontaneous artistry. [...]

[...] The fact is, of course, that in the most basic manner, now, the man—the natural man—possesses that fine, keen spontaneity and inner confidence. [...]

Those ideas have been in your mind for some time, and they automatically throw a damper on your creative spontaneity. [...]

[...] The process is natural, and it happens spontaneously when you allow it to. [...]

[...] But ideas will come to him in better fashion if he allots part of the day to spontaneous thinking. He sops ideas up in a spontaneous manner, and when it seems that he plays, even to him, he is working.

Our sessions in general, the matter of spontaneity and discipline, your own fears, rather natural enough, concerning any subconscious effect I might have on Ruburt.

First of all, all this is connected with the question of discipline and spontaneity of sessions, for I could have spoken at any time.

[...] His nature is strongly intuitive and spontaneous. [...]

[...] Allow yourself to feel the spontaneous nature of your being. [...] The freedom and spontaneity of spirituality cannot be maintained or even tasted by denying the reality of the physical being. [...] They will lead naturally, spontaneously, to a spirituality that is a natural outgrowth of present experience. [...]

Now I suggest that we continue where we began and I am highly amused with all the conversation it spontaneously erupted. [...]

[...] When you set up blocks against the negative ones, you also set up blocks against the creative spontaneous ones. [...]

When he began clamping down on physical spontaneity, tensing of the head, neck and jaw areas was involved, leading to a sinus condition. [...]

[...] These have to do on both of your parts with ideas of spontaneity and communication. [...]

Behind the events therefore are highly charged beliefs about (underlined) reality, that you have not examined, either of you, and about your relationship with each other, your stance in regard to the outside world, as well as ideas about freedom, spontaneity and responsibility.

[...] But the event provided us with an obvious clue—any body that can undergo so spontaneous a change can hardly be one that’s permanently fixed in a stiffened condition.... [...]

[...] The response was immediate, spontaneous, and as complete as the moment and his physical condition allowed. [...]

[...] It happens spontaneously when no healers, per se, are involved, millions of times, anytime a body is touched with love, compassion, and understanding. [...]

[...] It is good that naturally at least Ruburt is given to such expression, though that is not followed through as spontaneously as it could be. [...]

[...] This is a physical statement of the inner change, and the inner change must be reflected physically of course: the intention to work with, not against the body, and to help encourage its natural spontaneity and functions.

[...] Your own relationship is excellent now, and the exercises will help in giving him greater physical spontaneity in your more intimate life.

Cordellas represent the inner cohesive yet free-wheeling quality operating within all reality, that gives it both its organizing structure and its great element of spontaneity. [...]

[...] They sometimes merge and are perceived spontaneously and simultaneously by you. [...]

[...] The fact is that man’s consciousness can indeed become aware of — aware of — those spontaneous processes. But he himself has largely closed the door of comprehension, so that he only identifies with what he thinks of as his rational mind, and tries to forget as best he can those spontaneous processes upon which the mind rides so triumphantly.

[...] Those processes are spontaneous and ‘unconscious,’ so it appears that anything outside of his conscious control must be undisciplined or chaotic, and lacking in all logic.

[...] Anything that happens spontaneously is looked upon with suspicion. [...]

[...] Ruburt expected her husband, the man, to show spontaneous love and affection, and to supply emotional richness, which she was willing to nurture—but she expected the artist—who happened to be her husband—to protect himself from any emotional response that might interfere with his work.

[...] It became his duty to repress spontaneous feelings that might lead him astray. [...]

[...] It was, simply, that we were wrong to blame imagined excesses of the spontaneous self for her problems—that really the trouble lay in her discovery that with the psychic abilities she was destined to find herself outside conventional creative authority: a person who learned that she would have to protect her very integrity as a person against charges of fraud. [...]

[...] I think, I added, that it was an error to blame fear of the spontaneous self going too far if given free reign—I didn’t think nature would arrange things that way, for the organism couldn’t survive for long that way. [...]

[...] He felt that he could hardly keep up with the spontaneous self: what was it about to do next? [...]

He has held back his inspiration, though, out of confusion, wondering about experiences that cannot be put directly into beneficial use, and also out of concern, again, that the spontaneous self and its intuitional insights will put him in further conflict with the world. [...]

One of the reasons why he did not understand that the spontaneous intuitive self was the deeply creative and therefore deeply stable self, was that he identified it with his idea of femininity as he unfortunately misunderstood it. [...]

[...] This also has something to do with your private lives, for the feminine portions of that nature can quite easily be frightened into not showing themselves through the monthly function—that is so utterly spontaneous, so mysterious to the intellect, and the one main sign by which the female monthly shows her difference from the male.

[...] For while you were adventurous, you also to some extent feared the spontaneous nature that was so a part of your wife, in those terms. [...]

[...] In the beginning of the psychic work you were concerned at spontaneous sessions, and while you were highly intrigued by the developments. [...]

[...] However your spontaneous thoughts are not nearly as destructive as he imagines, and in overinhibiting them, he also inhibits purely spontaneous, joyful thoughts. [...]

[...] He must rediscover however his spontaneous self for these distorted and adopted and superficial ideas—underline superficial—of religious rules inhibited him.

He need not fear his spontaneous self. [...]

He is afraid of striking out or harming others, and to some extent, still afraid of spontaneity. [...]

[...] They are implied in your own spontaneous behavior — that is, in the wondrous activity of your bodies and minds.

If it were scientifically inclined, the body would know that such spontaneous performance was impossible, for science cannot explain the reality of life itself in its present form, much less its origins.

[...] At night, in sleep, the self’s consciousness takes longer, freer recesses from physical reality, and does this as spontaneously as the body itself walks. [...]

[...] As he presented them, his concepts dealt with the spontaneous, rambunctious powers with which nature was endowed. [...]

[...] And if spontaneous order was such a vital ingredient in the workings of the universe, then what was I doing trying to shut it down in my own daily life?

[...] This has been mentioned in the past, but Ruburt became so fearful of his own spontaneity in early life that he was more or less forced, out of fear, to deny the validity of his identity with the inner self. On some occasions, as the other evening, he spontaneously accepts this identification, particularly when alcohol acts as a depressant.

[...] The spontaneity is good, the lack of caution is not. [...]

We now have a good deal of spontaneity and freedom within our sessions. [...]

[...] Spontaneous short humorous plays, such as you sometimes do with your recorder, is an enjoyable relaxation.

[...] They involve the spontaneous combination of living objects and non-living into curious juxtaposition.

[...] He was also afraid that spontaneously he might want to do such things after all, as if his spontaneous self would work against his better interests. [...]

Creativity often deals with material that is not known, not cut-and-dried, not even immediately useful, perhaps—so Ruburt would feel, for example, sometimes at least, that poetry was not responsible, or even that his own spontaneous activities were not responsible unless they were immediately useful in practical terms. [...]

[...] She took a few steps without the aid of her table or chair each time—very encouraging progress for her, and fitting in with what Seth has had to say recently about her coming spontaneous urges to begin walking again. [...]

The physical world is dependent upon the relationship of everything from electrons to molecules, to mountains and oceans, from cultural organizations to private dreams, and in the scheme of reality these are all interwoven with exquisite order, spontaneity, and a logic beyond any with which you are familiar.

You should understand that we have been talking about Framework 1 and Framework 2. Ruburt felt, and so did you to some extent, that it was easier to experience Framework 2’s spontaneity in the mental realm of imagination—but you each felt that the physical body was tied somewhat more rigidly to the dictums of Framework 1, to cause and effect. [...]

[...] Nevertheless spontaneity must be allowed for primarily. [...] However, if we are overly concerned for effects then the spontaneity disappears. [...]

[...] Here the pace began to speed up as the two talked back and forth, and in the interests of spontaneity, and because this was a new development in the sessions, I made no attempt to slow Seth down, nor to record every word Seth or Dr. Instream spoke.

[...] The pace quickened to some degree, and as stated before I made no effort to interfere with the spontaneity of the session. [...]

[...] spontaneity is important....”)

Having a drink together in the yard is different than going out because it is the spontaneity of going that is to be encouraged.

[...] Instead, reignite the normal spontaneous desires he had to go out, despite the responsibility he felt he had to stay in. [...]

[...] Earlier his own spontaneous nature, his desire for social intercourse, his simple love of fun, were strong enough to overcome the inner feelings that made him shy away from people. [...]

(This session was quite unexpected and spontaneous. [...]

When he was spontaneous, it seemed, you did (underlined) disapprove. [...]

He also felt sexually that what you wanted least was true spontaneity, for that could lead him to forget himself enough to forget proper birth control methods. [...]

The easy, spontaneous, daily, trivial, give-and-take was not there. [...]
