In the very action of the individual changing, surely the collective will also change. They are not two separate things opposed to each other, the individual I mean and the collective, though certain political groups as you can see in America now try to separate the two and to force the 'individual' to conform to the so-called collective.

If we could unravel together the whole problem of change, how to bring about a change in the individual and what that change implies, then perhaps, in the very act of listening, participating in the enquiry, there might come about a change that is without your volition.

For me , a deliberate change, a change that is compulsory, disciplinary, con formative , is no change at all.

Force, influence, some new invention, propaganda, a fear, a motive compels you to change---that is no change at all. And though intellectually you may agree with this very easily, I assure you that to fathom the actual nature of change without a motive is quite extraordinary.
