"Krishnamurti: When the mind is silent that silence is a new dimension, and when there is any rampant pettiness it is instantly dissolved, because the mind has now a different quality of energy which is not the energy engendered by the past. This is what matters: to have that energy that dispels the carrying over of the past. The carrying over of the past is a different kind of energy. The silence wipes the other out, the greater absorbs the lesser and…

New Focus: Conditioning

as of January 14, 2020

My comments on conditioning will follow as a separate message.

New Focus:

If not obvious, what I’ve been writing about recently is about my own “journey”. I’m sharing at least some of what I see as is possible with words. You might say I’m taking at least some of you that is, those interested, with me.

I am opening up this blog again to allow…

when we know how the who we were is as it were then, then what if the when is the what it is now ?

no, do not seek for an answer ! :)

   Most of us are eager to step up to square two, most of us are so eager to take that first step. We read a few books, read up on certain traditions, memorize certain words we call ‘teachings’, compare them, pick one or a few, and then imagine we have taken that first step and left square one behind us.

  Some of us make it a religion, reading thousands of books, organizing them neatly in their (this time) computers, so they can elicit the right answer, according to the…

Ending of Time Chapter 1 4/1/80

K: I understand that. But I am trying to find out the origin of all this misery, confusion, conflict, struggle - what is the beginning of it? That's why I asked at the beginning: has mankind taken a wrong turn? Is the origin, `I am not I'.? 

DB: I think that is getting closer.

K: Yes, that's it. And the `I' - why has mankind created this `I', which must, inevitably, cause conflict? `I' and `you', and `I' better…

Apparently, inwardly choice means a confusing process is taking place, which may indicate a failure to understand the relationship between the observer and the observed. Outwardly we choose according to like and dislike, reward and punishment, pleasure and fear, taste, preference, appetite, practicality, security, etc, etc. And inwardly, it seems that when "what is" is approached with thought, analysis, judgement, choice, then we are into the area of cause and effect. I think that  the…

Can I ask silence to find you, as inquirers, fellow inquirers receptive to questioning idealism, and addictive thought and help you remain in silence, rather than as a friend trying to give silence a purpose of creating individuals without wanting, or needing the credit for any good thing that comes to you or me as far as freeing us from time, in a life trapped in the whole matrix of deeply flawed addictive belief systems, invented by thought? Guru's promise things like thi…

Seeing that living in the opposites means contradiction I think it will be worthwhile to look into this topic and see if we can share an insight.  Of course there exists in nature night and day, male and female, east and west, north and south, hard and soft, hot and cold etc. Nevertheless, there is a need to look into a deeper process going on in consciousness that is responsible for disorder?   Apparently, there are opposites in ourselves when we have some intention to be or become…

My mind is especially drawn to the fact that we generally fragment all of life into holidays week ends, and work days and traditional ritualistic national and religious events and worship days. Looking forward to our next holiday generally not factually inquiring into whether we could ever find work that we loved as much as we seem to love weekends and holidays, and vacations, or getaways? I wonder if it has something to do with religions and their utopian beliefs and ideas? A sacred river.…

The equation, freedom and equality equals order in relationship, is not an ideal or a supposition, it is actually a fact that can be seen when one has no image of oneself and no image of another. Or you can state the equation, no image of oneself and no image of another equals order in relationship. Significantly, this would engender a transformation of society, as society is nothing more or less than our relationships with each other. In reality and especially politically, freedom and…
