Thought vs Observation 160 Replies

All these years of participating in dialogues pertaining to K seem to have accomplished absolutely nothing.  Nothing has changed in my life.   Thought still rules, and where thought rules, there is no observation.  Broadly speaking, of course.  In the margins one might argue otherwise, but that would merely be a waste of time.Is there something I'm doing wrong.  Or is there something I'm failing to do?  But when I look around, much the same picture appears everywhere.  And of course K did…Continue

We need social change... So what is one to do? 1 Reply

We need social change, a complete revolution in our relationship between man and man, which has bred this monstrous society. There is violence in our heart, in our relationship. Each person is concerned about himself and not about another. And action invariably breeds conflict; all our life, whatever we are doing, only brings confusion, misery, conflict. Again this is a fact. Whether that action is a conscious action or an unconscious action, it breeds conflict in all our being - whatever we…Continue

Can the process of creating order also see disorder without trying to turn it into order? 53 Replies

As you know there is a great deal of terrorism. I think generally we think of it as violent acts by a political, ideological, or religious fanatic or zealot. But it could be coercion and intimidation. For you and me, what is the terror? Is it really any different to the experience of war, or some great destruction, like tsunami, famine, or epidemic?Is it that I think in terms of a sense of order, of stability, safety, progression, and a comfort in customs and beliefs? But is this the case? For…Continue

Effortlessness 6 Replies

"So there is disorder.  And order is necessary, otherwise there can be no peace at all.  And it is only in peace, in quietness, in beauty, that goodness can flower.  Order is virtue, not the cultivated virtue of a cunning mind.  Order is virtue, and order is a living thing, just as virtue is a living thing.  So virtue cannot be practiced as things are...what the mind can do is find out what disorder is...then out of that understanding will come order." JK, AOI, p. 212Can this take place…Continue

Krishnamurti On Brain & Mind. Nonsense Part Two.

Followers Of Krishnamurti, Don't Follow K. 21 Replies

All most 100 percent of Krishnamurti followers would say, that they are not following K. But this is not due to the fact, that they understand Krishnamurti, when he said, "Don't follow me!", but because, that they have taken the advice given by K, as to not to follow him. But when confronted with any arguments about spirituality or religion, they would only quote Krishnamurti. Then it is evident that they are following Krishnamurti, for sure. But this following of Krishnamurti, as such, is in a…Continue
