More on Spontaneous Arisal From Voidness

In terms of determinism and chaos, if we make chaos you bobbing in the middle of the ocean out of sight of land naked and then call that voidness and then we call arisal from voidness walking on land in the daylight or at night clothed, then we begin to make sense of Spontaneous Arisal from Voidness.

Because people want to know where one comes from if they arrive from Voidness. A good example of sponataneous arisal from voidness is human birth. Where did this baby come from. The beginning of its spontaneous arisal was in conception but the actual manifestation into the physical world didn't take place until birth. So where did this baby come from? So one could say it sponataneously arose from Voidness at the moment of conception.

However, this spontaneous arising doesn't just apply to physical birth, it applies to mental birth, spiritual birth, the birth of enlightenment which is both a spiritual birth, emotional birth and even in some ways a physical birth.

It is said that enlightenment is simple because one becomes enlightened just by experiencing it. It is not really a big deal. It is like opening the front door to your house and going "Wow! It's a beautiful day!" Though there are infinite stages forward in successive states of enlightenment, walking out that door and being happy the sun is out and that it is a beautiful day is enlightenment!

If you know you are enlightened then you are. It is that simple. I think therefore I am.
