Three thousand years have passed since Moses gave you the commandments, but still you go on following them.
Each MOMENT life goes on changing, and the really aware man will respond each moment -- to the situation! He will not carry any prejudices? he will not carry any past in his head. He will be a pure mirror of the situation in which he is, and he will act OUT of the situation -- he will be responsible.

Unless you chew for yourself you will never become an integrated individual. You will be only an anonymous number, not a real individual.
