Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture?' - 6 August 1975


- Can there be a total perception which completely heals the brain?
- What benefit has culture?
- Does speech come before thought?
- Is it possible to say something without the operation of thought?
- Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture?
- Is attention a conscious process?
- Is love the factor of profound change?
- You explain all this, and you say that whatever the damaged brain – which is the result of thought and tradition and all the rest of it – whatever it does will produce further damage. So, because you point it out, I realise that. That is the first necessity – I realise it. Then, after I’ve realised it, you talk to me at a depth which thought has not touched. You planted a seed.
