A dialogue between philosopher Krishnamurti and physicist David Bohm

Krishnamurti: "Through insight the activity of the cells that
   dominate consciousness in the brain can change - insight
   being out of time.
Bohm: This insight will be through the action of the mind,
   intelligence, and attention.
K: When there is that insight, intelligence wipes away suffering.
B: ...there is a contact from mind to matter which removes the
   whole physical chemical structure which keeps us going on
   with suffering.
K: That's right. In that ending, there is a mutation in the
   brain cells.
B: That mutation just wipes out the whole structure that makes
   you suffer...
K: Matter is limited, thought is limited.
B: But we are saying that the pure energy of mind is able to
   reach into the limited energy of man.
K: Yes, that's right, and change the limitation."
