strings: Surely the experiencer and the experience are a joint phenomenon; they are not two separate processes, so first of  all let us see the diffculty of analysing. It is almost impossible to analyse the whole content of our consciousness and thereby be free through that process. After all, who is the analyser? The analyser is not different, though he may think he is different, from that which he is analysing. He may separate himself from that which he analyses but the analyser is part of that which he analyses. I have a thought, I have a feeling—say, for example, I am angry. The person who analyses anger is still part of anger and therefore the analyser as well as the analysed are a joint phenomenon, they are not two separate forces or processes. So the diffculty of analysing ourselves, unfolding, looking at ourselves page after page, watching every reaction, every response, is incalculably diffcult and long. Therefore that is not the •way to free ourselves from the background, is it ? There must be a much simpler, a more direct way, and that is what you and I are going to find out. In order to find out we must discard that which is false and not hold on to it. So analysis is not the way, and we must be free of the process of analysis.
