我们所谓的理念，究竟指什么？当然，理念就是思维执念。不是吗？理念，就是心理与思维的程式；而思维，就是意识或潜意识里的反应模式；思维，就是把感受付诸语言的过程，是记忆驱使的结果；思维，是时间所积淀的范式。所以，如果行动奠基于思维之上，那么这样的行动就一定是局限的、孤立的。我有某理念，此理念必然与彼理念对抗，同时，必然被另一理念所支配。在行动与理念之间，总有一条鸿沟。我们要努力探索的是，行动能否摆脱理念的束缚？
我们看到，理念把人类切割得四分五裂。我已经解释过，知识和信仰在本质上具有分裂性的特征。信仰根本不能凝聚人们，相反在制造分裂。如果我们的行动以信仰、理念或理想为基础，则必然导致孤立与分裂。思维，是时间积淀的程式，是筹谋算计的活动，是自我保护的方法，是信仰、抗拒、谴责、狡辩的过程；我们的行动，能不能摆脱思维执念的束缚？且不论是否有彻底的无念之行，可以肯定的是，你我一样，其实都曾经历过这样的无念之行。

Action Without the Process of Thought
What do we mean by idea? Surely idea is the process of thought. Is it not? Idea is a process of mentation, of thinking; and thinking is always a reaction either of the conscious or of the unconscious. Thinking is a process of verbalization, which is the result of memory; thinking is a process of time. So, when action is based on the process of thinking, such action must inevitably be conditioned, isolated. Idea must oppose idea, idea must be dominated by idea. There is a gap then between action and idea. What we are trying to find out is whether it is possible for action to be without idea.
We see how idea separates people. As I have already explained, knowledge and belief are essentially separating qualities. Beliefs never bind people; they always separate people; when action is based on belief or an idea or an ideal, such an action must inevitably be isolated, fragmented. Is it possible to act without the process of thought, thought being a process of time, a process of calculation, a process of self-protection, a process of belief, denial, condemnation, justification. Surely, it must have occurred to you as it has to me, whether action is at all possible without idea.
