J. Krishnamurti/Freedom from the Known, 36,
There is no such thing as freedom of thought
Have you ever noticed that when you respond
to something totally, with all your heart, there is very little memory?
It is only when you do not respond to a challenge with your whole being
that there is a conflict, a struggle, and this brings confusion and
pleasure or pain. And the struggle breeds memory. That memory is added
to all the time by other memories and it is those memories which
respond. Anything that is the result of memory is old and therefore
never free. There is no such thing as freedom of thought. It is sheer
nonsense.
