Summary
If a motive is making you listen, the motive becomes important, not the act of listening.
You cannot listen if comparing with what you already know, which is merely interpreting.
Where there is interpretation there is no act of listening.
To listen and to see does not require effort.
Negative thinking implies the uncovering of one’s own assertive, dogmatic beliefs, experiences, hopes and fears.
Have you ever tried to look at something without the word?
To know oneself demands not the accumulative process of knowledge but the knowing of oneself moment to moment.
The understanding of a problem is far more significant than finding an answer. It is the only way to resolve a problem.
