Story
Is thought detrimental? 15 August 1965. Duration: 63 minutes. Why does one seek pleasure? Can the mind face only facts and not thought? Why have I never said, 'Thought is poison' to myself? Meeting something one doesn't know, facing something which has no answer. Acting without knowing. What is a state of mind which is silent? Time is detrimental. Are we twisting everything to our core of pleasure?

Story
A radical transformation in the psyche itself. 8 November 1968. Duration: 80 minutes. To communicate we must know that the word is not the thing and also be in that state of mind whose quality is attention, care. That can take place only if we are serious. We are the world, and the world is us. To bring about a radical transformation, which is so essential in society, there must be radical transformation in ourselves.

To look without a concept is to be aware of the observer and the thing observed. 20 May 1967. Duration: 88 minutes. Violence and sorrow are not limited to the West or the East; they are parts of the human structure psychologically. Is it possible to bring about a change radically, a total revolution in the psyche itself, not through time? The first and last freedoms are when the mind is totally free from concepts and the mechanical process of building a formula.

Story
What is truth, and what is reality? 18 May 1975. Duration: 70 minutes. What is truth, and what is reality? Anything that thought thinks about or reacts upon or projects - that is reality. And that reality has nothing to do with truth. The art of seeing is to place reality where it is and not move that in order to get truth. You can't get truth. How am I to empty that consciousness and yet retain knowledge - otherwise I couldn't function - and reach a state which will comprehend reality?

Do you see in this very mixed phenomenon any hope of a new flowering for civilisation or possibility of growth? One can go into oneself at tremendous depths and find out everything. To go into oneself is the problem. Not being able to do it, we ask for help. If there were no books, no gurus, what would you do?

To perceive 'what is' is the basis of truth. 7 February 1971. Duration: 86 minutes. Where there is division, there must be conflict. A mind in conflict must inevitably be distorted, and therefore it cannot possibly see clearly what is truth. We need a total change, a deep revolution, psychological revolution, the inward revolution, without which you cannot possibly create a new society. Is it possible to observe, to perceive without the observer?

Relationship has significance only when it is a process of self-revelation - 17 July 1949 • Where there is authority there can be no discovery of something new. • Relationship based on an idea cannot be a self-revealing process. • Self-knowledge is understood, uncovered and its process revealed through relationship. • Is it possible to love without the interference of the mind? • When the mind becomes supreme, all-important, then there can be no affection. • Q: What is that thinking that must come to an end? What do you mean by thinking and thought? J.

Story
The theme of this four-day retreat: "It's Always Now" The Now is inseparable from who you are at the deepest level. It is the prerequisite of Being. As you listen to the words on this tape, you participate in the retreat. To "retreat" means to step back - not only from the outer world, but also from the world in your head, the thinking mind. Allow the sound of the words to take you beyond words and beyond sound to the stillness within.

Publisher's Summary
- Complete freedom from thought. 9 September 1972. Duration: 76 minutes.
- If I don't change now what will the future be? 10 September 1972. Duration: 86 minutes.
- If freedom is responsibility, how do I act? 16 September 1972. Duration: 78 minutes.
- To come upon the new, thought must be quiet. 17 September 1972. Duration: 66 minutes.
Learning is instant perception and action. What place has thought in learning? To learn about freedom, must thought be completely silent? Does insight into freedom take time?
Can thinking, however rational, bring about a psychological revolution in us? Is thought always conditioned? Is freedom the nonexistence of thought?
My very being is related to thought. If you want to see something new, what do you do? To have insight, let go of the old and listen.
Learning is not memorizing. Is feeling another way of thinking? Isn't the need to love and be loved essential? Needing love is love of self.
Is thought responsible for fragmentation? Does fragmentation have its own activity? What is the energy that perceives the total and doesn't live in fragmentation? Does comparison bring about fear and pleasure?
Is thought seeking security in belief and dogma? Can the mind learn instantly all the content of the unconscious in which there are deep, secret fears? Does analysis imply time and division?
Is consciousness separate from its content? To get at the root of fear means learning about not being. What about guilt?
What is the action that will be a total response to the world around us? Can one respond totally without learning about love and death in relation to daily life?
Do we live, or do we tolerate living? Do we live according to ideas and conclusions based on belief, dogma and memory? Is there an action which dissipates all images? Is love a relationship in which there is no image?
Is disorder a relationship in which there is the image? Can a mind seeking comfort learn about death? Find out whether death is something to be avoided or to be lived with naturally. Can the mind free itself from the known?
What relationship have literature, beauty and art to our daily lives? Were you conditioned by the masters? Can one help someone in distress?
If one is serious, one must learn for oneself if there is such a thing as the I'm measurable. Thought cannot find the immeasurable because thought is measurement and time. Can thought, realizing its limitations, be quiet?
Can the mind see its content clearly, and the limitation, lack of space and time-binding quality of its consciousness? When you say, 'I do not know', does the content have importance?
There are various systems of meditation, gadgets, yoga, to make the mind quiet. These are unimportant. Is truth the very perception of the false? When the mind has perceived the truth of something, what is time?
