There is no knowledge of tomorrow
Observation
implies no accumulation of knowledge, even though knowledge is
obviously necessary at a certain level: knowledge as a doctor, knowledge
as a scientist, knowledge of history, of all the things that have been.
After all, that is knowledge: information about the things that have
been. There is no knowledge of tomorrow, only conjecture as to what
might happen tomorrow, based on your knowledge of what has been. A mind
that observes with knowledge is incapable of following swiftly the
stream of thought. It is only by observing without the screen of
knowledge that you begin to see the whole structure of your own
thinking. And as you observe, which is not to condemn or accept, but
simply to watch, you will find that thought comes to an end. Casually to
observe an occasional thought leads nowhere, but if you observe the
process of thinking and do not become an observer apart from the
observed,if you see the whole movement of thought without accepting or
condemning it,then that very observation puts an end immediately to
thought, and therefore the mind is compassionate, it is in a state of
constant mutation.
