K School Discussion 3 Brockwood Park, England
October 6, 1977

What is freedom?

When we all talk things over, reasonably and clearly seeing together, there is no authority.

If we all see the same thing there is no need for agreement.

If you are in disorder inwardly and outwardly you are creating authority.

Why is there at Brockwood, at eight o’clock in the morning, an assembly of the school?

What happens when you sit quietly for even ten minutes or five minutes?

When you are young, why are you lazy?

Do you as a group see the importance of beginning the day with quietness?

Do you feel responsible for coming together in the morning?

Freedom means the emptying of your conditioning.
