Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion?

"Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? - 11 October 1975

• Thought and the brain.

• Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion?

• Why has the self become important?

• Can there be only sensation, thought, and no desire?

• Can desire - which brings illusion, self-deception and all the complications of

changing desires – can the root of desire be dissipated?

• What prevents one from having a real insight? That is, seeing the truth of desire

and therefore end it. Is it that we have never asked this question?

• When there is no desire whatsoever then there is a total revolution, and that will

affect the consciousness of man.

• Is there a movement, an action that keeps the brain pure, uncontaminated?"
