Attending to Our Problems?
Restored from the Empower Network archive (2011–2017), lightly edited to meet our current advertising standards. Views are the original author’s.
(San Jose, California)-Please apply this thing that we are going to enquire into and see what happens? If the writer may point out most humbly? This is not an entertainment or a written lecture of any kind. We are not looking to understand where we are going or where we are coming from. But we are interested in coming close/near to our problems inwardly/internally psychologically. Will you listen to what the writer is saying or will you say we have heard all of this before? Because if you do not listen then it has no meaning.
Look at this as though you have never read or seen a book in your life and that we a just starting? Now may we go into it? What is a problem? The writer is showing you what take place in approaching your problems, test it in your life and you will see that it will work! What is a problem? A problem is something that you have not resolved. There are many kinds of problems, scientific, mathematical, and biological but we are not talking about those. We are talking about psychological problems between humankind. The problems that exist in our relationships with others.
This word problem implies the non-resolution of a thing. Now can we resolve that problem as it arises and “END” it and not carry it over to something else not even for a day? Because see what happens when you carry over your problems to the next thing. A problem continued makes the brain dull, actually and you can test this out on your self and see? The brain activities are slowed down because of this, it makes it self-incapacitated. It has no capacity of elasticity when you hold or carry on a problem for many-many years and even weeks.
The question is can we “END” the problem as it arises, you understand what the writer is asking? Are you interested in all of this? Don’t accept the words, actually test it for yourself and find out? Then it is worth the time. But if you say oh yes, very nice but I can’t do it, then it has no meaning. Don’t say tell me how to do it because there is no how. The how implies a method, system or somebody to tell you what to do. When somebody tells you what to do you are back in the old game of tradition.
Furthermore a mind that is clear has no tradition at all. So one has a problem and problem implies that which hasn’t been investigated, thought out and resolved. Our problems exist in the field of relationship, wouldn’t you say that readers/listeners? The whole field of communication between humankind, man woman and woman man. You know sexual, non-sexual, friendly, non-friendly the whole thing, not just one particular problem sexual or this or that. We are looking at the whole problem in the field of human relationships, not a particular problem?
Nevertheless if we are dealing with a particular part of human relationship then we are dealing with a part of it and not the whole. Are you with the writer? With the boss, in the factory or office, schools or colleges, in the home, your wife, sex, non-sex, domination, wanting to possess and attachment all of this implies a problem.

First of all why do we have problems? Why do we live with problems? Is it that we are lazy or is it that we have accepted it as normal way of life to have problems or is it that for millennia’s we have had problems and why not carry them on? Which means that the brain has accepted problems as a part of life. What is the matter with us; do you the readers/listeners know, because the writer doesn’t? The writer is saying refused to accept problems, you follow? Challenged the brain and mind to have no problems? Don’t agree or disagree you have to do it! Which means if a problem arises, as it inevitably will, unless you have real “LOVE” in your heart. Not sexual “LOVE” or “LOVE” of power and position and all that non-sense.
How to deal with a problem without allowing a single second of interval? We will go into it? A problem arises only when there is a center. As long as there is a center there must be circumference and diameter, are with the writer? The whole circle, the whole circle is our problem. To have no center is to have no problems! Please see what’s involved in this, don’t just shake your head and say yes I agree or no I don’t agree, it has no meaning. But see what’s implied in all of this?
First of all one must see the beauty, depth and rationality of it and the sanity of it? See it people, as long as one has the “SELF/ME/EGO” with its center we must have problems! It may be very dangerous, destructive or superficial problems. Please see this, as long as there is a problem there is no “LOVE”. The writer is not making this up, look in the mirror at your self deeply and you will see that there is no “LOVE”, you have to be intensely honest with your self!
Now is it possible to live in the modern world having a wife, children, going to the job with all the rest and not have a center-“ME/SELF/EGO”? See the fact as long as you have a center-“ME/SELF/EGO” there must be problems. And we say, well that’s our life; yes we have problems and continue too. The writer is saying FIX IT! Meaning if you say problems are most destructive not only to the brain but to the wholeness of the mind, a mind that’s fit, alive, active, because every problem is like a blanket that smoothers everything it comes in to contact with.
You see when you see the facts that a center-“SELF/ME/EGO” is to have problems; not just only to see it, read it, listen and hear it but see the truth of this thing. Then what takes place, you follow? A mind and a being that has no center-“SELF/ME/EGO” and have to live with a wife or husband and children, hold a job and the whole of humankind. Which means that you are acting every minute with no intervals. Life is action, you following the writer?
So when you act from center you are inducing the whole problem. The writer wonders if you see the cadre of it the framework of it and the wholeness of it? That is the mind that has functioned with a center has created innumerable problems, politically, economically, socially and in intimate and non-intimate relationships. When there is a problem that we have it is the most destructive way of living, it destroys the youth of the brain and the youth of the mind, can you see this?
When you have this intense quality of listening to this and see the truth of it-it is gone-no more problems!
