The Spontaneous Writing Circle is a peer-led group in The Mystery School.
In timed sessions, a member will read a poem or excerpt of prose after which the group write what's present to each of them, unedited and uncensored. The intention is to have the words appear while any effort to create them is surrendered. Each person then reads their writing to each other, and no critique is offered. This absence of distinctions and value judgments has created an open and lively space of ease, appreciation and creativity and a constant experience of wonder. This piece was written in one of these circles.
Life as we generally know it is birth and death with a middle of experiences. I don’t know anything about before birth and after death. There are stories but what do we really know?
We even lose sight of who we truly are. We have thoughts, emotions, and feelings and where do these come from. We have experiences and develop relationships with others, with nature, with ourselves. How positive or negative these experiences are depends on our perspective. And we still experience all the emotions of a human being.
Do we come with a purpose? Are we born into some life that is expected of us? We don’t know what has happened before birth that may affect this current life. Our guidance is one of being for me or for you. Listen for that voice of your higher self, your oversoul. This could be the arrow that falls into place where we discover who we are.
Progression:
The most I've gotten out of this course is learning to not compare results and not be so critical of my own writings along with being more spontaneous in the moment.
I am also doing more journaling in other areas of my life.
