Summary
The crisis is in consciousness and knowledge. Unless human beings radically transform this consciousness we are going to end up in war.
Why do we give such tremendous respect to knowledge in universities and intellectual circles?
Thought is knowledge. Knowledge is experience.
Knowledge, memory, thought, action – mankind has been caught in this cycle for millennia.
Consciousness contains all the things that thought has put together.
We live by time. Time is necessary outwardly but inwardly I question whether psychological time is necessary at all.
There is nothing sacred about thought.
Is it possible to be totally unconditioned?
