Fifteen Conversations with David Bohm Ojai 1980 - Dialogue

Senility and the brain cells - 1 June 1980 ‱ Is the human brain deteriorating? ‱ The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn’t belong to me or to anyone else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years. ‱ Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it? ‱ Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain? ‱ The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through time, is no longer there. ‱ If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in themselves. ‱ Meditation is insight.
