Now the question then is: the mind is seeking security - right? - it wants security, it has not found security in any illusion - right? - but yet it says 'I must have security.' I wonder if you are following all this. So it says, 'I must find security in my relationship.' Obviously. 'I have let go the beliefs, ideals - ah, I'm tired (laughs) - the experiences, the remembrances, all the nationalistic nonsense, all that, they are all gone'. But one's mind is not free from the idea of security. And from that may be the beginning of all fear. So it says, 'Is there security in my relationship with another?' Go on, you are the people who are caught in this. Is there security in the image I have created about my wife or my husband, my girl? Obviously not. Because that image is the projection of past experience. Right? And the past experience has brought about this image, and according to that image I act, which is the future. Right? Am I making this awfully difficult? So the mind is now saying: there is no security in any form of image. Right? Not in relationship but in any form of having an image which thought has created from the past experience. Right?
