Intelligence Operating Day-To-Day?

(San Jose, California)-May we continue with what we were looking at yesterday, we went into what is right action and observation and we went into this deeply? We also went into very deeply the harm of being attached to something; the writer hopes you all were applying your selves while we were exploring this? May I be so kind and remind as we have before that this is not an entertainment or some written lecture, we are not telling you what to do or how to do something, the writer doesn’t think that there is a how psychologically? The how is an automatic responses for us we immediately want to know how, or for someone to tell us how. This is not a how. But rather you the viewers and the writer together go into this thing that is so important and is our life? So can we enquire together this morning?
You know that most of us are attached to a person, but you know this right? To our wife, children, priest or husband, guru, a system of meditation and something or another. Can we observe our attachment? Please this is not a written how to for group therapy and see how many of you can get it right or open up and talk about your problems. The writer isn’t asking you to confess anything all of those thing are too nonsensical. But we asking if one could observe your attachments, of course you can but will you? Then you may become conflicted and when you observe the immediate reactions are why not, what is wrong with attachment?
The consequences of ones attachment are fear, hate and jealousy there fore lack of “love”. These are the consequences aren’t they, do you see this? Make sure your wife or husband isn’t viewing this with you so that you may get the truth and be intensely honest with your self? But when you observe it very carefully without distorting what you actually see that observation is the act of intelligence. I wonder if you get this, may I go on. Because we are coming to a point where there is an action that is correct under all circumstances.
Now that is to observe the fact of “what is” actually happening without any distortion. I will show you something that is when we observe is the fact of that which is happening which is attachment and the consequences of that attachment, when you observe is the observer different from the thing that he/she observers? You follow? When one is angry at the moment of that anger there is no division between the observer and the 0bserved its only comes seconds later when thought intervenes. You say I have been angry, you recognize the feeling of anger because you have had it before. That division takes place the moment the observer separates himself/herself from the observed. This is clear right?
Please be serious if you want to go into it because if you can see this, actually see/perceive this you will eliminate conflict all together! The conflict exists between the observer and the observed. Am I using the words that you are not accustom to and there fore you may find this rather puzzling? Okay just a minute, I am attached to a person, if I am, is the attachment, PLEASE LISTEN/SEE THIS, is the attachment different from me? Or I am attachment?
You see the writer thinks that you don’t want to really face this there fore you find lots of excuses? Because where there is an attachment to a problem, idea, ideal, a person, to a dogma, ritual, organization or to certain institutions there must be corruption. And when one is attached to their wife or husband there is absolute corruption because corruption means fear. Fear brings hate, conflict, jealousy, antagonism that is all the expression of corruption. Not the act of “love”.
Now can we see this non-analytically but factually? If you say I see it, is the seer different from that which he/she has seen? That is where there is division there must be conflict. This is a law, there is conflict between the Arab and the Jew, the Muslim and the Hindu, communist and the socialist and so on. Where there is division there must be conflict! Conflict is corruption and we have lived with this norm/pattern that the observer/thinker is different from the thought. This means that the thinker is always trying to dominate thought. But the thinker is thought, so when we observe attachment to anything, lets say your car. Is the person who is attached different from himself/herself?
GET ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED RIGHT HERE!
The attachment, do you understand what the writer is saying? There fore when there is no division and no conflict the whole process of attachment comes to “end”. Please test this for your self, don’t except a thing that anybody says including the writer? Test it that is see actually what you are attached to, tied to. To your name, family, brother, sister, mother, job, money, priest, religion, organizations, and so on, if you are just observe it. But if you like to be attached with all of it consequences then you are more than welcome because no is going to stop you. But if you want to find out whether there is an action that is incorruptible which is correct under all circumstances then you have to free from all values and attachments.
Because when one observes attachment it is intelligence that is seeing the whole process of that attachment, not analysis. You see where there is intelligence there is correct action under any circumstances. Intelligence is not knowledge or accumulated information, where there is insight into the attachment that insight is intelligence operating and from the intelligence there is always correct action. Please don’t put any kind of accolades on the writer it is not worth it. But look at your self deeply and find out. Because humankind has lived with corruption for a million years and all of his/her actions must bring corruption and conflict.

Humankind’s actions are all based on ideals, concepts and values, which are all the product of thought. There is no divine absolute value even though the priest may say this, when they do say it is the activity of there own thinking. So there is an action that is completely whole and uncorrupted in daily life not somewhere in heaven if there is such a thing. That is can a human being live in this world with that intelligence? That intelligence is born out of insight, for an example into attachment. Insight means having full comprehension of the whole process of attachment, immediately. Do you understand what is being said?
We all must have an occasional insight or something or another? Where that insight is not the process of value, memory or a conclusion, it is a second of complete comprehension of that which you see totally. That is the essence of intelligence and that intelligence is not your or mine there fore it is always acting correctly. Will you try it/do it? Do it as you are viewing this? Not when you are done, as you view this stop for a moment and observe your actions, just look at your actions to your wife, neighbor, politics, your job and religion what ever it is?
You see what is important is can you have a perception not analysis, but a seeing/perceiving of the whole consequences and causes of attachment instantly/immediately? Because that implies the freedom from time, as we have said the brain is the result of time, which no one can deny. It has evolved through millions of years through the most primitive self to a very very complex self and that has taken time, which means evolution. So the brain is functioning according to the pattern of time. This is all very simple if you give your minds to this? It is really quite simple.
The brain functions in the pattern/mold of time that is yesterday, today and tomorrow. That is the sunsets and the sun rises, psychological time is I will be, I hope to be and I want that, this is a movement of inward psychological time. One looks forward to meeting you tomorrow, which is psychological time, having hope, is time. So the brain operates functions because it has evolved through time in the process of psychological time. We are clear right?
LOCK ARMS WITH ME HERE RIGHT NOW!
We have lived with that pattern for a million years, there is not only physical chronological time that is yesterday, today and tomorrow but there is psychological time of the mind that is what we are talking about. So the brain which is part of the mind it functions, act, thinks in time and that pattern has been established for a million years and we are still pursuing that pattern we live that pattern. Now if there is no “end” to time the pattern will be repeated over and over again, you follow?
Look as we said the other day we need time to become something if one want to learn a language we need time, to be a good basketball player we need time, we acquire knowledge, skill and then action. That same principle/pattern for learning a skill has spilled over psychologically, you follow, one needs time to be good, one needs time to become unselfish, when one says that I need time to become unselfish that is the very essence of selfishness. So our brain is always operating in time. Time is physical movement from her to there and also time is psychologically to become something, which is still a movement, the pursuing to become something is a movement in time from “what is” to what I should be.
Thinking is a movement also, so time is thinking and this the pattern on which we have lived. This pattern has not change us although we have lived for a million years or more. Furthermore is there a possibility of breaking that pattern? We said there is and if you follow this you will see it? Analysis is a process of time, this you can see right, there fore one has an insight into the analysis and there fore the “ending” of analysis. Insight is not of time, one has an insight into their desires, the desire for something and in that process of desire for that can be analyzed and examined than come to a conclusion.
Now if one observes the whole movement of desire the very observation is insight, which is not of time. Look we all know that we’re attached to something or another, this you see right, can one “end” it immediately? When you “end” it instantly/immediately that is the “ending” of time. But if you say I go into it analyzes it what it should be, not should be, this or that then you are repeating the pattern.
The “ending” of time is very important because that is actual freedom inwardly psychologically from what has been. Is the writer forcing you to think in a particular direction? Because the writer may be somewhat energetic about this or regimental or is both of us moving in the same direction. You see this has been one of the problems of humankind you may not have gone into it but humankind has asked this question whether there is an “end” to time. Time must have an “end” and we think time has an “end” through some way of meditation; this has been done a great deal in the eastern world not so much in the western.
What they say is that time only has a stop when thought can be controlled. Thought is a movement in time, thought is time! Where as we are saying it can “end” when there is observation without distortion of “what is” actually going on which is the actual reaction in your self, reaction to your attachment, why are you attached, what is the consequences of this attachment to see/perceive the whole of this immediately is the “ending” of time.
Is this somewhat clear, it must be we are using common words either you are not exercising your own brain or you are merely persuaded and pushed around. But if you say look I want to find out. I want to observe if I am attached to anything and you soon will discover that you are. Then see the consequences of that fear, hatred and jealousy, anxiety all the conflict that goes on. Now if you say that is what is going on I don’t mine it then you are living in perpetual conflict. “Which is what every ordinary human being is doing!”
“But if you want to “end” this conflict that can be “ended” only immediately/instantly, which is to see/perceive it without any distortion/interference from thought!”
