SA73D1 - How does one observe?
Saanen, Switzerland - 1 August 1973
Public Discussion 1
Summary
Q: What is the observed without the observer?
The observer is the conditioned entity of memory, tradition, knowledge and experience.
I observe through images, symbols and words, put together by thought.
Thought has created the culture and that culture has shaped my mind.
Can I observe the mountain without the past – the observer, the word and the image?
Naming means comparing, conforming to the past, strengthening it, and creating a duality as the past and the present.
Can the mind observe ‘what is’ without giving it a name and without any movement of thought?
Look at the fact without a single image and see what an extraordinary change takes place. It is like having a young mind.
