blind thinking

… men of good will should not have formulas; for formulas lead, inevitably, only to “blind thinking.” 

…for our system of upbringing is based on what to think, not how to think.

Consequently you respond to the challenge, which is always new, according to an old pattern; and therefore your response has no corresponding validity, newness, freshness.

From the foreword by Aldous Huxley in the book The First and Last Freedom by J. Krishnamurti
