About this listen
Does learning require thinking or only awareness?
- To be aware is to be conscious, to be in relationship with what you observe outwardly and also our inward reactions.
- Awareness reveals that I have a conclusion from which I act, which prevents the free flow of energy.
- You see that you have many opinions and conclusions.
- You don't know why you have them or how to be free of them. Start with not knowing.
- Knowledge is in the past whilst learning is vital, in the present.
- In learning, which is a constant movement, can opinion and conclusion ever be formed?
- Can thought be slowed down naturally? In learning about the function of thought, slowing down takes place without control or effort.
- Can the mind empty itself without effort?
- Do LSD and other drugs slow down the mind?

The role of the teacher. 26 March 1971. Duration: 56 minutes. There is much talk of a spiritual revolution among young people. Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth? One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it, we ask for help. If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?

When you are really quiet, alone with yourself, you begin to know yourself and to see the intricacies of your mind. When we say anything that is a bit alternative to what our elders think, we are stopped. There is great tension between us. Will you say what we should do about it? What is humanity, and when can a man be called a human being?

Though we have plenty of energy, apparently we lack the drive, enthusiasm, vitality to bring about a change in ourselves. As long as there is fear, there must be violence, aggression, anger, hatred. Thought is the source of fear. Is it possible to live everyday life without thought interfering? Thought is always old. When you worship thought, you are worshipping some thing that is dead.

Can the mind be free? 3 February 1969. Duration: 99 minutes. The society in which we live is the result of our psychological state. Where there is fear there is aggression. For most of us, freedom is something that we don’t want. Inaction is total action. What is the machinery that builds images? Questions from the audience follow the talk.

What is a religious mind? Must one go to an expert to tell us what the unconscious is or can one find it for oneself? Through the negation of disorder, order comes into being. It is only the meditative mind that can find out, not the curious mind or the mind that is everlastingly searching. To meditate implies to see very clearly. It is not possible to see clearly when there is space between the observer and the thing observed. It is only in silence that there is quite a different dimension. You have to find out for yourself; nobody can open the door for you.
