Freedom is to free from all identification
Where there is an identification with a family, belief, nation, group or any object created by the human mind, that identification prevents complete freedom.
Our thinking gets conditioned by the groups we are attached to. This prevents our capacity to reason. Reason implies certain qualities of skepticism, doubt, not accepting anything.
There are no sacred books, only printed books and we gave those printed papers tremendous importance.
Here is no speaker, we are looking into our own conditioning in his mirror. We are here talking to ourselves.
All our daily activities are based on thoughts. Thought is always limited because thought is the outcome of limited knowledge, which is past, time binding. Thought is the movement of time.
Is there an action which is not based on limited thought and time?
Is thought necessary in human relationships? Relationship is a movement of thought to identify with a person or object. Sensation, feelings, companionship is all based on past memory and thoughts arising out of memory. Thoughts being limited, our all relationships with others are also limited, will bring conflict.
Is there any relationship without memory and thought?
To understand the root of thinking we should enquire into why brain records? Brain records to secure itself, without security the brain cannot function properly. Being insecure, the brain accepts the authority of gurus.
When we cease to identify with others, we are free to give attention. Non identification creates attention.
In Identification separation is inbuilt and in separation conflict is inbuilt.
Begin at near and then expand to the extreme end.
Can we remain in a relationship without identification?
We identify with others because we are lonely and frightened to be psychologically empty. This is an escape from what we are. We all are fundamentally alone and we are afraid of it so we identify with others for security.
Who am I? Who is afraid of being alone? Are we not the result of the words? Limited Thoughts? So we are part of this limited thinking. The supreme and absolute concepts are also part of limited thinking.
When we strip ourselves from words, memory and thinking then what remains is nothingness, totally empty.
Can the mind observe that emptiness and don't move away from it? Means living in a relationship without an identification.
