Beginning with a brief account of Saraha's life from what little is known of it, the book surveys his major work, his trilogy of songs: the People, King and Queen Doha. The three most important aspects of his evocative teaching: wholeness, body and complexity, are discussed at length, since these ideas underline Saraha's songs. The scarcity of indigenous Indian source material necessitates constant reference to the rich Tibetan tradition, in particular the nDzogs-chen/sNying-thig teaching.

Structure and Spontaneity in Clinical Prose will teach you to read gifted writers for inspiration and practical lessons in the craft of writing; apply the principles and techniques of the paradigmatic, narrative, lyric narrative, evocative, and enactive modes of clinical prose; and put what you learn immediately into practice in eighty-four writing exercises. Each of the five modes uses different means to construct worlds out of language. The paradigmatic abstracts ideas from experience to build concepts and theories. The narrative mode organizes experience through time, creating meaningful relationships between causes and effects. Lyric narratives present events unfolding in an uncertain present. The evocative mode works by invitation and suggestion, and the enactive mode creates an experience to be lived as well as thought. Structure and Spontaneity is fundamentally a book about reading and writing in new and different ways. It is an invaluable resource for new and experienced psychoanalysts and psychotherapists and for students, teachers, editors, and writers in the humanities and social sciences.

The Culture of Spontaneity is the first comprehensive history of the postwar avant-garde, integrating such diverse moments in American culture as abstract expressionism, bebop jazz, gestalt therapy, Black Mountain College, Jungian psychology, beat poetry, experimental dance, Zen Buddhism, Alfred North Whitehead's cosmology, and the antinuclear movement. Daniel Belgrad shows how a startling variety of artistic movements actually had one unifying theme: spontaneous improvisation."A compelling narrative, putting living flesh on shorthand intuitions that connect North Beach to Black Mountain College, Fenollosa to Pollock, Jackson Lears's No Place of Grace to Todd Gitlin's The Sixties."—Joel Smith, Boston Review"An invaluable introduction to postwar modernism across the arts."—Thomas Augst, Boston Book Review"Belgrad's extensive probing of the artists and movements with their profound sociological roots is timely as well as comprehensive....A major contribution for serious scholars."—Choice

This book hypothesizes a basic misunderstanding in our commonly accepted view of the relation between reason and spontaneity. The source of this misunderstanding, Dr. Graham maintains, is the assumption that all reasoning has to be detached from the spontaneous, which is thought to function only as emotion biasing judgment. This assumption has prevented us from understanding what happens, for example, in the making of reasoned choices. Even in our most deeply considered choices, the spontaneous plays a crucial but unacknowledged role.In pursuing the far-reaching implications of his basic premise, the author proves a clear guide through a wide range of philosophical questions and makes a persuasive case for abandoning certain strictures that prevent us from expanding our understanding of both the process of reason and the nature of spontaneity.

In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, a new-found love of spontaneity transformed Christian worship and revolutionized the Enlightenment's "culture of sensibility." Rituals of Spontaneity tells the story of how and why spontaneity came to be so revered. Using archival material and works of Bunyan, Shaftesbury, Goldsmith, Smart and Wordsworth, Branch shows that the rise of spontaneity was intimately connected to the forces of commerce and science at the dawn of the Enlightenment. By focusing on the language in which spontaneity was defended and on its psychological repercussions, Rituals of Spontaneity challenges previous understanding of secularization and demonstrates the deep, often troubling connections between religion and secularism in modernity.Winner of the Book of the Year Award for the Conference on Christianity and Literature.

This is a guardian best book of 2014 and a 2014 brain pickings best book on psychology, philosophy, and how to live meaningfully why is it hard to fall asleep the night before an important meeting? or be charming and relaxed on a first date? what is it about a comedian whose jokes fall flat or an athlete who chokes? in all these cases, spontaneity is elusive. In trying not to try, edward slingerland shows us how we can harness its power and become more effective. We've long been told that the way to achieve our goals is through careful reasoning and conscious effort, but recent research suggests that many aspects of a satisfying life are best pursued indirectly. The early chinese philosophers knew this, and they wrote extensively about how we can achieve wu-wei (ooo-way) - an effortless, spontaneous way of being in the world. Through stories of mythical creatures and drunken cart riders, jazz musicians and japanese motorcycle gangs, slingerland effortlessly blends eastern thought and cutting-edge science to show us how we can embody a spontaneous way of being and live more fulfilling lives.

Through a bold sense of color and composition, Basquiat maintained a fine balance between seemingly contradictory forces such as control and spontaneity, menace and wit, urban imagery and primitivism. It’s his brilliant improvisational mindset that we’re celebrating with our Polaroid Now Camera Generation 2 - Basquiat Edition. Featuring his famous artwork, ‘Boy and Dog in a
