Amsterdam 1967 - Public Talk
Is it possible to renew the mind? - 24 May 1967 ⢠When the mind is living through imagination and thought, it is incapable of living in the complete fullness of the present. ⢠Thought has created time, not chronological time but psychological time. That is, âI will be,â âI should be.â ⢠Is it possible for the brain to be quiet, to give an interval between the old and the new? This interval is the timeless nature in which thought cannot possibly enter. ⢠That which has continuity is repetitive, which is time. Itâs only when time comes to an end there is something new taking place. ⢠To die every day to every problem, every pleasure, and not carry over any problem at all; so the mind remains tremendously attentive, active, clear. ⢠Since love is not desire or pleasure, how does one come upon it? ⢠Q: Is the feeling of responsibility a part of the order and discipline you were talking about? ⢠Q: Why donât people get angry with what you are saying?
