Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? : Brockwood Park and Gstaad 1975 - Dialogue 9

"Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? - 6 August 1975 • Can there be a total perception which completely heals the brain? • What benefit has culture? • Does speech come before thought? • Is it possible to say something without the operation of thought? • Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? • Is attention a conscious process? • Is love the factor of profound change? • You explain all this, and you say that whatever the damaged brain – which is the result of thought and tradition and all the rest of it – whatever it does will produce further damage. So, because you point it out, I realise that. That is the first necessity – I realise it. Then, after I've realised it, you talk to me at a depth which thought has not touched. You planted a seed."
