1. Have you ever looked with all your senses? -

16 December 1984      

Duration: 34 minutes

• Q: How is a new mind and a new culture to come about?

• The brain is limited by our psychological activity. The mind is something totally outside the brain.

• It is self-interest that has conditioned the brain. Self-interest is very limited and destructive.

• Is it possible to be fully aware of the particular limited senses and become attentive to the unfolding of all the senses, without suppressing any sense?

2. Why have I not radically changed? - 19 December 1984

Duration: 55 minutes

• Q: We started discussing the ground of the mind from which a new mind can flower. You also spoke about the senses operating at their highest, simultaneously. As a newcomer, where do I begin?

• If we lose touch with nature, of which we are a part, then we lose touch with humanity, our fellow beings.

• Do you only look with your eyes?

• Ask yourself why after forty years you are exactly as you were, modified. There has been no radical change. Why?

• Our brains are conditioned to reward and punishment.

• The essential nature of meditation is never to be conscious that you’re meditating.

• Can the brain be so quiet that the activity of thought has completely ended, or is it always chattering away?
