strings: memory, of your experience, of your knowledge, of your belief. You are reacting to all that, aren't you ? If I say that there must be a fundamental revolution, you immediately react. You will object to that word 'revolution' if you have got good investments, spiritual or otherwise. So your reaction is dependent on your knowledge, on your belief, on your experience. That is an obvious fact. There are various forms of reaction. You say "I must be brotherly " , "I must cooperate " , "I must be friendly", "I must be kind", and so on. What are these? These are all reactions;• but the fundamental reaction of thinking is a process of isolation. You are watching the process of your own mind, each one of you, which means watching your own action, belief, knowledge, experience. All these give security, do they not? They give security, give strength to the process of thinking. That process only strengthens the 'me', the mind, the self— whether you call that self high or low. All our religions, all our social sanctions, all our laws are for the support of the individual; the individual self, the separative action; and in opposition to that there is the totalitarian state. If you go deeper into the unconscious, there too it is the same process that is at work. There, we are the collective influenced by the environment, by the climate, by the society, by the father, the mother, the grandfather. There again is the desire to assert, to dominate as an individual, .as the 'me'.
