Saanen 1983

Q1: Where does one start, if to have a deep insight, thinking must stop, and for thinking to stop there must already be a deep insight?

Can the brain, which has been programmed to constant repetition stop this mechanical habit. Is there a way of living which is not a continuation of the past?

Insight is seeing something true and then acting from it.

Q2: I long to be loved. What am I to do?

What is the cause, the root, the motive of wanting to be loved? Is it that I am lonely? If you are asking to be loved by another, it means you have no love in yourself.

Q1: Is there such a thing as right education?

Q2: You seem to say that mind has its place outside the brain but where does the movement of pure perception take place if not somewhere in the brain?

Q3: How is it possible for mutation to take place in the brain cells if pure perception has no connection in the brain?

Q4: Why is the feeling of guilt such a deep, tenuous one that endures in spite of every effort to be free of it?

Q1: What is desire? Is it awakened by external objects?

Q2: You said it is necessary to have no opinions. I feel it is necessary to have opinions about such serious things as Nazism, Communism, the spread of armaments, torture by governments. Mustn't one say or do something?

Q3: Is not K's consciousness put together by thought?

Q4: You have had mysterious experiences. Is this Kundalini expansion of consciousness or a self-induced, psychosomatic thing?

Q5: What does death mean to you?

Q6: How am I to really not just solve my problems but radically bring about a change in my life?

Q7: What is spiritual life?

Is It Possible To Live in Peace?

What is peace? How can we lay the foundation and build on that, psychologically speaking?

Has the brain with its thought sought security in things that are illusory? To live with a sense of abundance, flowing peace must there be freedom from the past, memory?

The future is non-fact. A fact is that which is happening and that which has happened.

In daily living can there be mutation in the brain cells? Or are we condemned to live with conditioning in perpetual conflict and so no peace at all?

The Function of the Brain

With tremendous experience of every kind why has the brain not resolved conflict?

Have we reduced the brain to be very limited? Is it possible to break down this limitation? What is the quality of a brain that can penetrate to find its deep function?

Has seeking self-security in limitation created havoc in the world?

Is your brain separate from another or your consciousness from that of all humanity?

Is thought the instrument of peace?

What effect has it on society if there is a fundamental mutation in my brain?

Seeking Security?

Have we sought security in the nation belonging to something in isolation? Will you find security in the psyche in illusions, in god? Who has created that god?

Unless the brain is totally secure, unconfused, it must be in turmoil. If you examine your own life you will see how confused we are, how uncertain.

When you see the false as false hasn't the brain become clear? It is intelligence that sees the false.

Can one become something psychologically - become non-violent?

There is security only in intelligence.

What Is Supreme Intelligence?

Is there security at all for human beings?

To investigate what is intelligence must you not understand what it is not?

Do we never look at fact but instead make an abstraction of it and then pursue the idea?

To end the deterioration of the brain hold on to the fact.

Isn't our consciousness with its content the past, the present, and the future? And the now also contains the future unless there is a fundamental mutation.

Is it possible to find a way of living where there is no shadow of conflict?

Unconditioning the Brain Cells

When we look at the divisions we have what is the future of all human beings?

What will happen to our brain with all these ultra-intelligent machines? They are acting from outside on the human brain. What is our future if we don't change from the inner?

If a few are fundamentally free of conditioning will they affect the whole consciousness of man?

Is biological or psychological fear based on the past, which is time? Are time and thought the root of fear? Do we see that comparison the thought that says, "I must become" is a basic factor of fear?

Can sorrow end?

The Question of Religion and Meditation

Does total order come about only with freedom from fear, hurt the pursuit of pleasure, and becoming?

Thought in its own confusion can bring about only limited order. Can you look, listen, observe without the movement of thought which is time? What is religion not put together by thought?

If you don't ask "how" you exert your own capacity, however limited.

When the brain accustomed to measure outwardly and inwardly ends it is there then a mutation?

When there is cessation of the activity of limited thought isn't there space? Meditation is living without measurement.
