Summary
When you hear the word ‘God’, what is your response?
Is it possible to look at violence as though for the first time?
Can my mind be free from the accumulated past?
Is there a present which is not of time? If not, the brain moves from the known to the known, never fresh, never looking at something totally new.
I am very interested to see what the present is; I really don’t know.
The response ‘I don’t know’ requires humility. But we all know, and what we know is the old.
A cup is useful when it is empty, then you can put something into it. But our brains are already full of thoughts, opinions, judgements, what we have read, never empty to find out.
You have been hurt from childhood. Can the mind be free of all those hurts?
If there is hurt, how can you love?
