What is it that incarnates?
Krish.: The ending of thought. It also means the ending of time. Time coming to a stop totally. There is no future in the sense of the past meeting the present and carrying on.
B: Psychologically speaking.
Krish.: Yes, psychologically speaking, of course; we are speaking psychologically. Psychological ending to everything. That’s what death is.
B: And when your organism dies then everything ends for that organism.
Krish.: Of course. When the organism dies it is finished. But wait a minute. If I don’t end the image, the stream of image-making goes on.
B: It is not too clear where it goes on. In other people?
Krish.: It manifests itself in other people. That is, I die; the organism dies and at the last minute I am still with the image that I have.
B: Yes, well then what happens to that?
Krish.: That image has its continuity with the rest of the images, your image, my image. Your image is not different from mine.
S: Right. We share that.
Krish.: No, no. Not share it. It is not different. It may be a little more frail, or have a little more colour, but essentially my image is your image.
Krish.: So there is this constant flow of image-making.
B: Well, where does it take place? In people?
Krish.: It is there. It manifests itself in people.
B: You feel it is in some ways more general, more universal?
Krish.: Yes, much more universal.
B: That is rather strange.
Krish.: Eh?
B: I say it is rather strange to think of that.
Krish.: Yes.
S: It is there. Like a river, it is there.
Krish.: Yes, it is there.
S: And it manifests itself in streams.
B: In people.
S: Which we call people.
Krish.: No, that stream is the maker of images and imagery.
B: In other words you are saying that the image does not originate only in one brain, but is in some sense universal?
Krish.: Universal. Quite right.
B: You are not only saying that it is just the sum of all the brains; you are implying something more?
Krish.: It is the effect of all the brains and it manifests itself in people as they are born.
B: Yes.
B: Psychologically speaking.
Krish.: Yes, psychologically speaking, of course; we are speaking psychologically. Psychological ending to everything. That’s what death is.
