Letter below touches upon one aspect of this subject. I led a workshop on this topic which I'll post the notes here in due time.

A main problem with image making is that when you see another through an image you don't see them as they are !!

=========================================================
Hello F:

I checked next weekend. It's not possible.

You should read something by J. Krishnamurti - very brilliant. You can read in Dutch (check your bookstore or write to: ...)
He goes into the nature of mind very deeply and points out the dangers of common processes of our thinking such as image making (making pictures) verses living with what is - with facts...

It is very important in relationships to not have an image - of another - of yourself - of another's image of yourself, etc.

To not have an image of another in the highest form of respect I can give to another. Similarly, I expect this level of respect from another: to not make an image of me. Respect, in the sense of space. Freedom means you can do whatever you want as long as you don't take away from another's freedom. To create an image is to intrude into another's freedom at different levels. In the energetic/psychic realm, if the other person is sensitive they feel it.

It's ok to think about another as long as it is *practical* thought - about something practical, specific. But to hold another in mind - to "brood" on another as a chicken broods on an egg, is a violation of another's freedom. Non-practical, psychological thought, is limited in the realm of time and experience and is therefore illusory.

It is even more interesting to not have an image of oneself either. Can one live without a single image of oneself? It's fantastic.

Take care of the body

hi S:
i want to share with you something i found very important in my life
is it possible to live with no mental images?
no images of yourself of another person, etc.?

it frees the mind from a lot of illusions
also it brings freedom
in youself
and to another person
because when we make images
we remove freedom
images are anti-thesis of freedom
images are of the past
freedom is of the now

to do this the brain has to be quiet.
and understand why images are made
for pleasure
for security
etc.
and when it sees itself making images
which are really thought forms
that seeing brings an end to it.
