Brockwood Park, England, 1983 Talk 1 Is it possible to bring about a mutation in the very brain cells themselves conditioned for thousands of years? Either one says that it is not possible and closes the door or one says I really don't know. Without any choice am I aware that my brain is conditioned? What is the nature of conditioning? It is essentially experience and knowledge. Why is the structure of the psyche essentially based on knowledge? What am I without memory? Is it possible to live psychologically without memories? Division between memory and the observer creates conflict. |

Brockwood Park, 1983 Talk 3 Is the movement from "what is" to "what should be" the psychological process of time one of the causes of fear? Realizing that possibility, even intellectually is it possible to end fear? Sorrow is part of the continuity of memory. Can that memory, not only of my sorrow but of mankind's sorrow come to an end? Can we, while living without any cause or future end something? If you go beyond time is there anything to experience? Can the self, the "me", the ego all the self-centred activity which is the movement of memory end? |

Is it possible to end a problem as it arises? Can the brain be quiet see confusion instantly and act because it is clear? Can my brain, conditioned in the old decide what is beauty, responsibility, love?
