Brockwood Park, England, 1983 Talk 1 Is it possible to bring about a mutation in the very brain cells themselves conditioned for thousands of years? Either one says that it is not possible and closes the door or one says I really don't know. Without any choice am I aware that my brain is conditioned? What is the nature of conditioning? It is essentially experience and knowledge. Why is the structure of the psyche essentially based on knowledge? What am I without memory? Is it possible to live psychologically without memories? Division between memory and the observer creates conflict. |

Brockwood Park, 1983 Talk 3 Is the movement from "what is" to "what should be" the psychological process of time one of the causes of fear? Realizing that possibility, even intellectually is it possible to end fear? Sorrow is part of the continuity of memory. Can that memory, not only of my sorrow but of mankind's sorrow come to an end? Can we, while living without any cause or future end something? If you go beyond time is there anything to experience? Can the self, the "me", the ego all the self-centred activity which is the movement of memory end? |

3rd Public Talk, Brockwood Park, England, 5 September 1981 Are pleasure, fear, sorrow based on knowledge? Can suffering and love go together? Does seeking security in knowledge deny love? The observer of sorrow is sorrow. Can you remain with a fact and not translate it according to your prejudice, your want? If I am to die why should I live a moral life? Isn't there a new beginning if I end all attachment, with its corruption? If the content, which is fear, pleasure loneliness is not then what is my consciousness? Can the whole content of consciousness be wiped away by insight? |
