- notes
- The 1980 book edition has two more questions, which are not present in the audio of this event. As there is mentioned "Dynamic Meditation", a term which appeared only much later than the current talk, clearly, the questions were inserted by editors from some more recent talk. (Those questions are: "What about the method of just watching the mind?"; "Isn't it necessary to disidentify yourself with the mind -- as if it is outside you?")

And I suppose that term, you used in the sense of the atma or self, other terms are similar. Uh, at least I understood it that way. And then you said, however, that, uh, a necessary objective was to do something with respect to you and the body, and some connection between (inaudible). Could you explain it please?
- Question 8
- It is purely a psychotherapeutic technique to be applied that way. Why is there such an emphasis put on dress, appearance?
- Question 9
- (inaudible) awareness or higher consciousness state that people try with artificial drugs, and they lose once they come down. This awareness that one achieves through meditation, it's taken lost.
