信任你的“自发性”

人要处理一种二元的自我身份，因为他目前认为自己是一种身与心的不稳定结合体。人主要认同我称之为“意识的一个有限部分”——被视作等同于心智或智力的那部分。他认同自己能在某种程度上有意识控制的事。

举例来说，人关心行为、行动和作为，却不认同使行动和作为成为可能的那些内在过程。他认同他所以为的逻辑思考与推理能力。这仿佛暗示他与自然有一种高贵而冷静的分隔，那是动物所没有的。再说一次，他不认同那些使他的逻辑思考成为可能的过程，那些过程是自发而“无意识”的，因此，似乎任何他无法有意识控制的事，都必定是无纪律、混乱的，而且毫无逻辑。

无论宗教还是科学都建立在这种信念上。任何自发进行的事都被投以怀疑的眼光。“自发”这个词仿佛暗示着那些失控的成分，或暗示从一个极端跑到另一个极端。似乎只有理性心智才有像秩序、纪律或调控这类的概念。

因此，人从心里反对自己的天性，认为必须控制天性。但事实是，人的意识真能变得觉知——觉知那些自发的过程。但他自己已大半关闭了理解之门，因此，他只认同他所以为的理性心智，而试着尽可能忘记那些自发的过程——而得意洋洋的心智正是倚靠这些自发过程来运作的。

那么，人经常会害怕自己的创造力，因为他不信任创造力的源头。

Man deals with a kind of dual selfhood, in that he presently thinks of himself as an uneasy blend of body and mind. He identifies primarily with what I call a limited portion of his consciousness. That portion he equates with mind or intelligence. He identifies with events over which he is aware of having some control.

Man thinks of acts, for example, and acting and doing, but he does not identify himself with those inner processes that make acting and doing possible. He identifies with what he thinks of as his logical thought, and the abilities of reasoning. These seem to suggest that he possesses an elegant, cool separation from nature, that the animals for example do not. He does not identify, again, with the processes that make his logical thinking possible. 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.

Both religion and science are based upon such beliefs. Anything that happens spontaneously is looked upon with suspicion. The word seems to suggest elements out of control, or motion that goes from one extreme to another. Only the reasoning mind, it seems, has any idea of order, discipline, or control.

Man is therefore set against his nature in his own mind, and he thinks he must control it. 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.

He has often become frightened of his own creativity, then, since he has not trusted its source.
