Summary

How deeply does the imitative process go?

Negative thinking can begin only when the imitative process stops.

Can the mind be free from imitation and in a state of negation, an emptiness from which it acts?

Security in any form breeds imitation.

We have accepted the imitative process, refined it, modified it; we have never asked, ‘Can it end?’ and, ‘If it ends, then what?’

There is security, which is positive, imitative, and negative thinking is not.

Nobody, no leader, no book can help you find out.
