ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter it was suggested that the potential for crea tivity is natural but that an excessively rigid attachm ent to fixed "programs" in the tacit infrastructure of consciousness is primarily what prevents this creativity from acting. The present chapter will explore the nature of these blocks in grea ter detail , and the social and cultural conditioning that lies behind them. This lead s to a discussion of free dialogue , which is propose d as a key activity in which this sort of conditioning can be dissolved . Such free dialogue is fundamentally relevant to the whole question of how condi tioning of the indi vidual and of humanit y, to falseness at the sociocultural level , can come to an end.
