Knowledge and conflict in human relationships
Dialogue 2 San Diego, California, USA
February 18, 1974
Q: What place has knowledge in relationship?
There must be freedom from the known, otherwise the known is merely the repetition of the past, the tradition, the image.
The observer is tradition, the past, the conditioned mind that looks at things, at itself, at the world.
When the observer observes he does so with memories, experience, hurts, despairs, hopes, with the background of knowledge.
Whenever man operates with that knowledge in relationships there is division and therefore conflict.
