‘So, one has to enquire, if you‘re not too tired - what is thinking?
Probably nobody has asked this question
Very few people do
Don‘t wait for me to answer it
look at it, observe it

Thinking is part of memory, isn‘t it?
Investigate it with the speaker, please, don‘t sit there comfortably, or uncomfortably
Thinking is part of memory, isn‘t it
If you had no memory at all, would you be able to think?
You wouldn‘t
Our brain is the instrument of memory
Memory of things that have happened, experience and so on
The whole background of memory
The psyche, which is the ‘me‘, and the me is the image that I have built about myself
There is nothing spiritual about it
That‘s another ugly word, ‘spiritual‘

Experience, knowledge, memory and the response of memory is thought
Experience is always limited, naturally
That‘s a complicated question because oh gosh, everything is complicated!

Is experience different from the experiencer?
Give your brains to it, find out
If there is no experiencer is there an experience?
Of course not
So the ‘experience‘ and the ‘experiencer‘ are the same
Like the observer and the observed, the thinker is not separate from his thoughts
The thinker IS the thought
When you see this fact, this actuality
Just to observe it in yourself
Not move away from the reality of it, from the truth of it
To hold it, to remain with it, not run away from it
Not rationalise, it is so!

And then it‘s like holding a precious jewel in your hand
You see all the beauty of that jewel
And then you see for yourself
that fear, psychologically, completely ends

And when there is no fear
you‘re free‘
