Can the Structure of Self-centred Concern End? Without any effort, can self-centred concern with its conditioning break down releasing an extraordinary quality of energy? Since every conclusion distorts enquiry into this problem mustn't there be freedom to observe? Does the centre form when thought identifies itself with sensations resisting the vast movement of life? Can one observe the movement of ordinary natural sensations without identifying? Does thought, being in flux and needing security constantly identify with something? If there is freedom to look doesn't that push aside all that is not sane which prevents actual looking? |

Does Thought Need To Identify with Anything? Isn't identification with a group, idea, belief the essence of being occupied with oneself? Can one exist sanely, harmoniously, without identification, outer or inner? Where there is division outwardly or inwardly there must be conflict. To end conflict totally mustn't one understand the nature of the observer? The observer being the past, accumulated memory can he ever perceive the present? Does fear of being nothing make us identify? Is there an observation of the whole movement of the senses? Does non-identification with another mean the end of love? |

Isn't Thought Limited in All Circumstances? The individual thinks he is free. Is he actually? Is freedom a permissive activity? If you identify with anything is there freedom? Can thought solve the very problems which it has created? What is the source, the root of all thought? If that is limited isn't the outcome limited? Is registration, memory, the outcome of the past? Is there action not based on thought not limited, confined? Hurt is the movement of thought forming the image. Is it possible not to register hurt? Then new things take place in the brain because there is no need for registration. |

Is Thought Necessary in Human Relationships? Action based on measurement is limited bound to bring about great sorrow and conflict. Is there an action in which thought as measure, time does not operate? How can I be attentive if I have identified myself with you? Through identification am I escaping from myself? Is analysis different from observation? Non-action is to observe. Can you watch your fears in this manner? Can you observe the movement of time which is thought, the root of fear without trying to do something about it? How can a mind meditate if it is full of fears? |

Is Love a Movement of Time, Thought, Remembrance? Why do human beings live in disorder from birth until death? Is not conformity, obedience, acceptance the very root of disorder? What is our consciousness? Is it everything that thought has put together? If I am unaware of the content of consciousness when I act, won't it be limited, disorderly? Can one listen to oneself with the same attention one would give to a child? Can one act, function naturally without a centre, without the content of consciousness? What is the meaning and the beauty of love? Is it the movement of the senses with desire? |
|
Can Consciousness Go Beyond Itself? Can there be a deep, abiding, irrevocable psychological transformation? Can we, without analysis observe consciousness not at two broken levels, but totally? The totality of consciousness is made up of incidents, accidents, practices, and beliefs. Can it understand what love is? Without effort, can it go beyond itself, become empty, except where knowledge is needed? In you is the whole of man his fears, mischief, arrogance, pride, violence and his sorrow. Does the ending of sorrow in one bring an action in the totality of mankind? If you have ended it actually in daily life then what is death? |
|
If You Are Not Occupied, Are You Nothing? If you have a problem psychologically can it end immediately and not carry over? Does the same movement of the brain carry on when we are awake and when we are asleep. Why have we created psychological time? Is truth a matter of experience, knowledge or is it unrelated to thought and memory? Unless everything is in its right place can one find out what meditation is? Can the mind be free of all measurement? The ending of time as thought comes into being only when thought discovers its own limitation. Has attention anything to do with concentration or with awareness? |
