Can the mind undergo a radical revolution?
How do you observe the world? What solves our human problem is observing the whole process of ourselves without judging, condemning, translating or rejecting - just to observe.
Question topics following the talk include: being disturbed in order to know, being confused and transcendental meditation.
We have accepted violence as a way of life, and yet at the same time we want peace. Can one live a life in which there is no comparison at all? Pleasure is the continuance of an experience that is never finished. We are living in the past. How can the conscious mind investigate the total hidden mind?
Can thought ever solve the whole problem of existence? What is the function of thought? Why has sex become so extraordinarily important?
Chastity is the freedom from all image. Is love desire? A new thing can take place only when there is an ending of the old.
Question topics following the talk include: getting better, controlling thought, the process of invention, vegetarianism and images.
Inattention and attention. Observing without the word. What is the function of sleep? Is love a matter of culture, a thing of pleasure and therefore dependency?
How does it happen that the deep layers hidden in consciousness can be exposed? Comparison between what is with what has been and what will be is the process of fear.
Can the mind observe without comparison?
Order and disorder
Why does the mind accumulate? How do you receive something that is not of the mind?
Fear. All the escaping and the strengthening of fear comes because we are inattentive. What is sleep?

To perceive 'what is' is the basis of truth. 7 February 1971. Duration: 86 minutes. Where there is division, there must be conflict. A mind in conflict must inevitably be distorted, and therefore it cannot possibly see clearly what is truth. We need a total change, a deep revolution, psychological revolution, the inward revolution, without which you cannot possibly create a new society. Is it possible to observe, to perceive without the observer?

To look without a concept is to be aware of the observer and the thing observed. 20 May 1967. Duration: 88 minutes. Violence and sorrow are not limited to the West or the East; they are parts of the human structure psychologically. Is it possible to bring about a change radically, a total revolution in the psyche itself, not through time? The first and last freedoms are when the mind is totally free from concepts and the mechanical process of building a formula.

Are we twisting everything to our core of pleasure?
