| so:text | Your memory is your enemy because you identify with your memory. I ask you: “Who are you?” and you say: “I am Mrs So and- so, married with three children.” Then you go on and say where you live. It is just a story about your memory. You remember being married. You remember having children. You remember what you had to eat yesterday. It is not interesting. I do not mean you are boring me. I mean it is not meaningful to you. You are not experiencing anything in a living way. You are only thinking back and telling something with which you now identify. If you identify with the past, you cannot be identifying with the Now. That is the point. You cannot do both at the same time. There is only the Now. As soon as you identify with your memory, you cut out the experience of the Now. Get rid of your memory... and you experience the Now as you have never done before. (en) |

| so:description | *The developed world usurps and wastes three-quarters of the world’s food, and 83 per cent of all other resources. Therefore, the so-called Third World, with three-quarters of the world’s population, must make do with one-quarter of the world’s food, and only 17 per cent of other resources. As a result, those in the Third World live in utter poverty and degradation, and die in their millions. The developed world sees this as their right to decide who will eat and live, and who will starve and therefore die. I say “they”, but that is us. We are the developed world. We are the ones who are playing God, and deciding who will live and who will die. It is our greed, our selfishness, our complacency that makes possible a situation where millions of people starve to death in a world overflowing with food, a huge surplus per capita. p. 7 (en) |
