If I, you, look at oneself, talking here on a forum, aren't we going to see a lot of words and these are what we are all trying to figure out? Maybe we don't understand what I, you are saying, or can not follow the discussion we are entering…

All assertions of K come from his unfragmented state of intelligence only. There is no point in analyzing or discussing only the outer expanded applications, without understanding his basic discovery of the 'unfragmented state of intelligence',…

The severe winter was over ,but it had drenched the soil with immense moisture .Most of the winter birds had left their winter soujourn for the splendid summer that awaited them in the faraway northern hemisphere. The Magh poornima full moon had just begun to rise over the eastern sky .Receiving the brazen gold tint from the setting sun full of the orange gold in the west , the moon had a mystique pink softness of a living being . The dual phenomena seemed very real and yet unreal , made by the…Continue

K was a lifelong vegetarian, first as a Brahmin in India and later by choice in Europe. He also chose to wear leather shoes (and belts?), which drew questions over the years.Here's a sample of Q&As with K dealing with these issues. While K made it clear that vegetarianism is the compassionate choice, even a natural choice, he also made it clear that it is not the primary issue. Letters to the Schools, Volume Two, Letter 17, 1st November 1983 What is nature? There is a great deal of talk…Continue

Have we been conditioned to be AFRAID to cry (with tears)?Babies and small children cry, this we know. We adults, most of us, cry very little, or not at all. Is this because we adults no longer have much need to cry, and so, perhaps, lose some or all of the ability to cry? Or is this because we we are conditioned as children to be afraid/ashamed to cry?"Stop crying, or I'll give you something to cry about!!". Who among us never heard this phrase even once as a child? I can remember at least two…Continue

Long ago somebody asked a question to K which most probably goes along this line `Sir, you mean to say all the gurus and all the masters over the past thousands of years were all wrong? '.K said ` why not? why are you so gullible to accept all of them' and he went to explain... I wish Ken perhaps throw more light on this about the original version. I wonder how many of you agree with his statement and think that this is the only original and pristine teachings? (after so many years and gurus I…Continue

Is it possible to create a new culture based on K's teachings?Not based on greed, glamour, acquisition, domination, fear, longing, sorrow, and escape?Not based on "me" and "you" but "us"?A culture where artists don't sign their name?Where no entertainment lawyers are needed?What would such a culture be like, this K-culture?."Without that creativeness which is not of time, which is not of thought, we cannot bring about a vitally different culture, a different state of human relationship? Is it…Continue

This topic arose from Don's "Feminist Men" discussion and I thought it was important enough (for me at least) to deserve a separate discussion.Peter Stephens (On Tuesday):Sorry if I look at this from a more introverted way, but it gets back to the image process. I look at some one of the opposite sex and I notice what I find attractive. But you can't just stare at people, so I don't focus on it, and I get a sense of something more appealing, which is the freshness of life in the human…Continue
