Free Spontaneity : Out Of Control : Beyond Control

Strictly speaking, there no use in trying to develop any technique for exploring one's most intimate nature. It is an absolute waste of time to attempt to define your true self as if by doing so would allow you to assert even an appropriate means of control over it or understanding of it. It won't.

It is quite simply, life on the most personal level.

One's true self is not a component of our being. It is our being. And nothing more.

Once it is noticed it pulsates new life to the awareness of it. But this awareness is itself not something that we possess. It is something that we are.

It is at one and the same time the most necessary and indefinable quality of our being.

I go to sleep on one beach

wake up on another.

Boat all fitted out

tugging at its rope.
