This book came to be in a state of fluidity although it felt like a dull panic in a blind search. It is a work that culminated from a 10-month long philosophy course in creating a new paradigm in culture. It seemed appropriate to create an articulation of what this might look like from ‘something new’ or ‘outside my experience’ and unique to this project, into the spirit of future possibilities- new worlds. Yet all my ideas seemed contrived and uninspired- patched together by my mind.
By this point, we had come to the last book in our course, The Culture of Spontaneity. A flash of insight appeared after the first few pages. Not only was I reading about a life I had always led but the message of spontaneity and authenticity seemed to be the launching pad into the new paradigm. The final selection pointed to the active direction forward into the next paradigm and as instantly as I saw that I recognized that my life had always been, and ongoingly still, a life of spontaneous insights that occur as choice-less choices. What have I done? What am I doing now?
