Can I strip Myself of the Network of Language? What is right action, the correct way of living? We have to enquire using words unemotionally. Is there an action totally devoid of time? Can thought find such an action? Action which is born out of insight, immediate perception, has no regrets, it is the only action. Can you have such a perception into the whole nature and structure of fear? Do you want to be free of it or do you accept it as part of life? Is the word "fear" driving you so you are caught in a network of words? Can you look at the sensation of fear without the word or is the word creating the sensation? The word is not the thing.

How Is One To Have Complete Order? Are we aware that we live in disorder, and is disorder different from us? Why is there this huge pressure of desire in us? Is desire one of the factors of disorder? What is the nature of desire, how does it arise, can it have its proper place without suppression or control? Perception, sensation, and then desire arises. Where does the conflict begin in the movement? Does thought create an image and pursue it? Why should the brain register an event which was painful or pleasurable? Can the brain register only that which is necessary which is to bring order? When you are alert, attentive, registration does not take place. Subtitles: English, French Dubbing: French |

How Is Freedom To Be Understood and Lived? We always act from opposites. Psychologically is there an opposite at all? Don't opposites contain each other? Is what we call love, merely sensation? Is love pleasure, desire, or remembrance attachment to a person, country, idea? Then is love the opposite of all this or has love no opposite? Why do we rationalize sorrow, hold on to it? Passion is the quality of mind when sorrow is completely, totally understood. What does it mean to end something, the ending of time which is death? Freedom from the known is death, isn't it?

The Beginning of Meditation Ask what is meditation, not how to meditate, the very enquiry is the beginning of meditation. Do our senses ever act as a whole? Living, operating, thinking partially, do our senses create illusion? What place have time and control in meditation? Can one live a life without any form of control? In our daily life, what is time? Part of meditation is to find out if time can stop, whether you have the slightest sense of tomorrow. Can consciousness, with its immovable layers, which is the result of time, empty itself so that time has come to an end? When the mind is utterly without movement, in that great depth of silence, not practised, not cultivated, there may come that extraordinary sense of something immeasurable, nameless.

Are You Aware of the Structure of Yourself? The brain biologically, organically, must register. Why do we register psychologically? What is the need for survival and the urgency to exist? Is belief dangerous to physical survival? Physical survival has skipped into psychological survival. Does the gradual process of registration build up the sense of the me, the ego? What is the need for this ego, bringing such enormous pain? What is the reality of this structure that I am building? The structure is me. Seeing the structure is the observer means there is no conflict. Then there is complete energy. Subtitles: English, French |

Can One Learn Through Relationship? We learn through various events which all become knowledge. That accumulated knowledge, from which we act is always in the past. Is there a different movement which is not mechanistic? You have to start with not knowing in order to find out. Relationship with another is based on memory.When there is an image there is division which means conflict. Why does one create these images? Is it lack of attention? Can you observe this whole phenomenon of registration, learning, relationship? In that attention the whole structure is non-existent. Subtitles: English, French |
