Should you find you’ve lost your mind,
       
  Don’t rush to go and find it.

                                    Seize the chance to take a glance
                    
                     At what you find behind it.
So here's a thought:

We are slaves to our own thought processes and absolute spontaneity is therefore an impossibility.

But just suppose it weren't. Imagine it were possible to achieve and maintain complete independance from our own better judgement and consequently speak and act entirely on impulse. Who are you when your powers of divination and discernment are taken away? How could you define yourself by comparison with anyone else? And with those powers re-instated, how would your future choices be affected by such a new perspective?

Do you make-up your own mind, or does your mind make up you?
