How Does One Enquire Into the Source of All Life?

Q: What is the source of all existence, all life?

How does a mind enquire into something extraordinary that has a quality of the universal, cosmic, of supreme order?

The world outside is the world inside. How do I enquire into myself except through my reactions the way I think, the way I act the way I respond to the environment my relationship to another? Man has done this a great deal, this process of introspective observation. Must I go through all this?

The mind is caught in this diligent enquiry. You have done all that is possible start with the impossible. What is the state of mind that has put away something man has carried for a million years? Such a mind is necessary to uncover the origin.

Can We Live Without the Burden of a Thousand Yesterdays?

Q: Is it possible to keep the mind very young, and yet ancient?

Can the brain which has been conditioned for millions of years wipe away its conditioning and have a quality of pristine freshness?

Can the brain end the built-in quality of its own deterioration? Can the brain be young, fresh, alive, original?

What is consciousness? Can the content which makes up consciousness end itself so that there is a totally different dimension?

Can I wipe away, end the thousand yesterdays with all the superficialities, pettiness, narrowness brutalities, cruelty, and ambition?

Is it possible to see the whole complex of "what is"?
