"Spontaneity knows its own order" .. explained Jane Roberts, in one of her Seth sessions.

Spontaneity and creativity rely on our ability to trust in that which is beyond logic -- an intuitive sense that operates too quickly for serial thinking processes to fully analyse and understand.

Spring clean

I'm in the process of moving, and I've decided to give to friends various books that I've enjoyed, but no longer wish to keep.

When reading books that I've purchased I highlight sections for quick future reference, and any books in my library without highlights usually means I didn't find anything of particular interest in the book. So before handing on a few, I've decided those that did grab my interest, to transcribe the highlighted sections, and rather than put in some quote file (which I'll soon forget), I've decided to post here.
