Is it possible to look at the external and internal simultaneously?
Why does the brain immediately create images when meeting someone?
Is there security psychologically?
Is it possible to uncondition the brain?
As long as you are conditioned, do what you will outwardly, nothing is going to change man.
I see nationalism is a danger, so I move away from danger.
Our brains are occupied all the time and so our energy is limited.
If you change, deeply, profoundly, it affects the consciousness of man.
Psychologically, do not depend on anybody.
