What Will Make Us Change?

Can we think together of the absolute necessity for a good society? In daily life, to have a relationship that is essentially good. Can we as human beings bring about a radical change in ourselves?

Why do I accept conditioning? Being conditioned will I listen to another? Can I look at the fact of my conditioning? If I reject all authority and organizations created round it, what happens?

Is it the "me", the image I have created about myself that is hurt? Can the mind be free of that image?

Analysis is separative because psychologically the observer is the observed. What takes place when the observer is the observed is an actuality?

Is Thought the Instrument of Right Action?

Can the human mind being aware of conditioning bring about a deep transformation in itself?

Do we use the senses only partially or can we observe with all our senses? What is the relationship between the senses and desire? When thought dominates the senses and creates the image, desire begins.

Is there an observation that is not the instrument of thought? We have made an effort to discipline desire to suppress and control it. When you understand desire is there effort? You can't love with effort, can you?

Tomorrow is the Root of Fear

Is the mind unwilling to look at fear? Can you observe fear as it arises? Are you different from the fear?

In observing is there only pure perception without interpretation by thought?

What is fear without the word? Is thought, which is time, the root of fear?

Pleasure is private. Is that why we pursue it? Why shouldn't we have pleasure? Pleasure may be the cause of isolation.

Can you end attachment voluntarily? In ending, is there the beginning of something new? Isn't it intelligence to end? What is death?

Eternal means out of time.

Is There Something Enduring, Immovable?

What is the meaning of life? Is there something beyond time, beyond the burden of memory?

To find out if there is something beyond time mustn't you be free of problems? Isn't one with problems caught in time? Do problems arise when relationship is not understood?

Can the mind observe a fact without direction? In that observation hasn't the mind pulled together all its energy?

Desire, demanding something, is in time. Meditation is the ending of time. Does effort have any place in meditation?

Can all search come to an end?
