There are no names of Board, staff, or faculty on any of the Krishnamurti organization websites. This is very strange. Legitimate organizations list their Board members, staff, and faculty.Is there such a listing somewhere that I missed?Continue

Finding out for yourself. 30 Replies

There is to the brain, implied, expected, a verbal solution to our thinking. For what someone says, we look for an understanding that fits with our understanding. We like it when there is a comprehensible story. Yet you may have had to do something with the computer , or the internet, and been given a lot of jargon, and complex instructions. There are no necessarily apparent connections in the text given, but pointers to various technical, and remote, steps. So you have to follow the…Continue

This 38 Replies

This.For some time now I have been using the word ‘this’ or ‘this is’ to express what I see as the distillation of ‘the teachings’. The problem is that this is usually interpreted by others to mean an idea or philosophy. We are used to ‘this’ having an attached object - this fear, this psychological thought, this violence, this self, this idea etc. ‘This’, on its own, is not particularised. It means the same as ‘what is’. So why don’t I just say ‘what is’? I actually often do, but there is a…Continue

Competition in any way in any field is detrimental! 6 Replies

Ask yourself. 13 Replies

Ask yourself. Am I quietly observing or am I working from thought? Of course the writer, the thinker, cannot understand this. They are content to be using thought, and any suggestion of not using thought, is put as a separate exercise with episodes of thought and non-thought. They don’t understand fundamentally they are conditioned, motivated by thought, and the outcome is thought. The field of thought is the basis of our industrial, technological, lives. Activities such as writing, talking,…Continue

Where does it start? 10 Replies

Where does it start? Did you read a book or watch a video? But still, where does it start really? Is it some disorder in our lives, some upset, some confusion, and we are looking for answers? Or is it a concern for the terrible state of the World, and the future of mankind?  I am concerned. We tend to think there is some benefit in talking about it all. But we are a part of the disorder and terrible state of the World.  We are led to think changing the content of what we are thinking, modifying…Continue

Maybe we need to talk about the basics? 42 Replies

Maybe we need to talk about the basics?Mostly we aren’t very aware. There are sensations we know about, hunger for example. But in the daily routine what happens is I ask myself, is it Lunch time? Or I might start thinking about what to eat. I get an idea about eating a meal, and this relates to feeding myself, but mainly it is a routine.   I am working with the idea, and what this proposes. I might assume I understand hunger, for example, but actually it is a part of a program of desire which…Continue
