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.

More on spontaneous arisal from voidness
I wrote a previous article quite a while back called Spontaneous Arisal from Voidness. This article is more on this way of thinking.
For me, a physical demonstration of Spontaneous Arisal from Voidness would be the way a baby is conceived out of nothing. One moment there are two people, usually in a state of bliss and the next moment a child has been conceived or has spontatneously arisen from voidness. Physically, this is one way to describe Spontaneous Arisal.
Then, if we add a very great soul also deciding to be present at that moment of conception we have a Christ, a Buddha, a holy man or woman, a great world leader or healer, or even all the above in a male or female body.
Or, we might have a great soul resting in voidness and deciding to spontaneously manifest and just appearing one day in physical form already an adult. Though it would seem that it would be easier for a very evolved soul to just be present at the moment of bliss between a man and a woman and to beging conception in this way, still from my experiences around the world I have come to the conclusion that just like space travel to the moon is possible so is literally an enlightened being having never been born manifesting directly out of a voidness state of contemplation and manifesting a body that is adult and evolved in every way.
My parents talked about this sort of thing when I was a child. I took it for granted growing up and then began to question all this starting about 9 to 12. But it wasn't really until I went to dharmsala, India and was taken by Tibetan Monks to see Ling Rinpoche that I could experience an aspect of this. Ling Rinpoche had been in meditation sitting in a Maitreya teaching mudra with one right hand raised in teaching blessing for at least 2 years before I was taken to see him. He had not eaten, drank water or spoke during this time. I asked the monks and they said he was not coming back. This experience completely contradicted everything I had ever been taught in the western world. Ling Rinpoche's body in 1986 in January radiated the most powerful aura I had ever experienced from any living being. His body was almost glowing with spiritual radiance. This was not a public spectacle but a private one and two monks attended him constantly in the stone hut at about 6000 feet high in the Himalayas in Dharmsala, India. Then the monks took us to see Trijang rinpoche who was now reincarnated at that time as a 4 year old. Within a couple of years this happened to Ling Rinpoche as Well. Ling rinpoche is the senior teacher of the Dalai Lama and it is my understanding that he led Tibet while the Dalai Lama grew up. Trijang rinpoche is the Junior Teacher of the Dalai Lama and had reincarnated I think around 1982.
I saw many things during my family's and my four months in India and Nepal in 1985. These experiences along with others in other parts of the world changed my view of what humans actually are. We are capable of so much more than most people would even imagine in a positive sense. We, as humans are on the threshold of something so remarkable that I can barely speak of it.
