What is the relationship between attention and lack of attention? - 3 August 1974

  • We are educated to follow, accept and conform. This is tradition, second-hand.
  • When you become aware of conformity without reaction is that awareness theact of intelligence?
  • Does the mind realize the nature of conformity, intelligence and awareness?
  • I am attentive for a minute and there is no border, no time, no 'me', noproblem. The whole energy is involved in that attention. This is a tremendousmovement.
  • Attending, I can do things without effort and thought.
  • The mind gets tired and moves to inattention. In that state of inattentionaction goes on and must be conditioning.
  • There is attention the moment the mind is aware that it is inattentive.
