Senility and the brain cells: Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 8

Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980

• Is the human brain deteriorating?

• The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone

else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years.

• Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself

have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it?

• Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain?

• The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through

time, is no longer there.

• If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part

of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in

themselves.

• Meditation is insight.
