**Note: Truth does not always sound pleasant. If the mind is not really peaceful now, it might not be a perfect moment to listen to this podcast, one has to be aware of the emotions or reactions that can block one from listenING ATTENTIVELY and with HUMILITY. This talk is a meditation practice. What one needs to do is listen attentively, without getting stuck in words, examine the mind in silence, not agree or disagree, and just look at the mind as it is. Doing so is already part of true meditation.

This moment,

Let's meet again,

Setting aside all the things human has created to inquire,

To investigate,

To observe,

To understand deeply about our living,

About this life by thinking together.

Living together means that we set aside any personal experience,

Any ideas,

Views,

Conclusions,

Theories,

All of which don't really solve anything but create more divisions between you and me.

When the mind relies on theories,

Views,

Ideas,

Thoughts,

The mind ceases thinking.

So this moment,

Can we think together,

Think objectively,

Which involves tremendous observation,

Diligent observation,

Self-inquiry,

To understand this world,

Which is me.

Me is the world.

This inner world contains all kinds of thought activities.

This outer world is mere the inner projection.

This theorization was created by thoughts.

All this technological progress is also out of thoughts.

Thoughts have their places.

But inwardly,

Do thoughts have place or not?

We rarely ask this question because the life has been so conditioned to thoughts.

This human world is worshipping the thoughts.

But we rarely inquire,

We rarely ask,

Do thoughts have place at all inwardly,

Psychologically?
