the basis of disorder....

Whether you have money or not, have a "girlfriend" or not, have "health" or not, there still remains a fact.... the fact of being itself.

And if there is to be order - true vitality - passionate creativity. there must be a mind which has nothing to do with an image of order, nothing to do with a conditional order. There would have to be a mind which is totally free of any conceptual conclusions or separative, speculative tendencies. A mind which is free to understand the fact - to live fully in the truth. So the mind which says, "there will be order when I have money, a girlfriend, or when I 'get rid of' this cough," is a deluded mind, a dependent mind. For such a person, life will be lived in an ever narrowing, ever corrupting sphere of superficiality and disorder.

You see, I realize that this next assertion is challenging for most people, but at what point does the fact of awareness, however it appears, at what point does it become "my fact" or "your fact?" You see? When does it become the thing that "I", with my likes and dislikes, can "do something about?" The sound of the plane, the stream going by, the bud casings dropping down. The pain, the hunched body. In gently questioning the tendencies of the mind anyone can see that personality, the separative movement away from the fact as "me," as "I am hearing the plane, I see the stream going by, the bud casings dropping down. I feel the pain, the hunched body" Any such movement, while it is our overwhelming tradition, is false, conflictual, and the basis of all disorder in the universe.
See the truth of this, and perhaps the truth would end that tendency.
