"Watch yourself without any identification, without any comparison, without any condemnation; just
watch, and you will see an extraordinary thing taking place...
When you are aware, you see the whole process of your thinking and action; but it can happen only when there is no condemnation... 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." The First and Last Freedom, p.95-96 |

"...be aware from moment to moment without accumulating the experience which awareness brings;
because, the moment you accumulate, you are aware only according to that accumulation,
according to that pattern, according to that experience. That is your awareness is conditioned
by your accumulation and therefore there is no longer observation but merely translation..."
