strings: It is like being a sensitive photographic plate. If I want to understand you, I have to be passively aware; then you begin to tell me all your story. Surely that is not a question of capacity or specialization. In that process we begin to understand ourselves—not only the superficial layers of our consciousness, but the deeper, which is much more important; because there are all our motives or intentions, our hidden, confused demands, anxieties, fears, appetites. Outwardly we may- have them all under control but inwardly they are boiling. Until those have been completely understood through awareness, obviously there cannot be freedom, there cannot be happiness, there is no intelligence.
