"Why do we want to dominate or be subservient to another? - 20 August 1949

  • Why is it that we dominate, consciously or unconsciously?

  • To submit oneself to another is the negative form of domination. We shall not

    be able to solve this problem by thinking in terms of opposites.

  • Is not domination a process of isolation, which denies relationship?

  • Can there be relationship between two people if there is any sense of

    domination or submissiveness?

  • Q: Is not the experience of the past a help towards freedom and right action in

    the present?

  • Q: Is my believing in survival after death a hindrance to liberation through self-

    knowledge?

  • Q: Why is it certain individuals identify themselves with you or with your state

    of being and thereby gain authority for themselves?"
