U. G. Krishnamurti: Mind as a Myth (excerpt) - A Thinking Allowed DVD w/ Jeffrey Mishlove

[mujaku]

Any who wish to know the realm of Buddha should make their minds clean as space, getting rid of false notions and graspings, making the mind unhindered wherever it turns. ~ Avatamsaka Sutra

[AlleReligionen]

He is the seed for a future race.

That world mind is THE LOGOS when it touches MULAPRAKRITI! all-religions-united com

wrong, the brain makes a model of the body and it knows that the hand belongs to the body.

That's why people who lose a limb can have phantom limb pain, because the self-model is still in the brain.

[websoull]

@xknowledgeisfreex

he is right....your body doesn't know it is a hand...it may use the hand, eyes, ears but brain doesnt know what it is until that knowledge is given to you. When you awaken to the truth you cannot call or label anything...you cannot recognize and seperate one thing from another...

[TheSkirmishes]

this collective consciousness of human beings in the society has created criminals,madmen,serial killers,terrorists etc etc for non of them are born with same traits.a taiwanese base jumper could be commonly accepted as mad for he is suppose to work in a cigg factory but the same person in the west could be a well known base jumping talent madness of one society is genious of other society, that is y the eastern cultures are so communal 4 its easy to live under similar collective thought process

[TheSkirmishes]

wheni used to search for certain books all the leading book keepers in the area would say they dont have the book iused to curse at my luck and hate myself for being so unlucky that only except that book all other books are there soon i suspected that all this coincidence cant be true and i was right it was their collective decision to not offer me the book in a way that i blame me luck and this smallcollective mind trick has fucked half the humanity..that feeling of not getting what you deserve

[TheSkirmishes]

i guess the concept of god is similar.then.collective consciousness of human minds around you..any celeb or a rockband becomes lucky or popular only if their work is approved by the collective consciousness of people hence they get more power to create entertainment that pleases those many numbers of human minds.so even if there are some really talented band they dont make to limelight...and some average wannabee musicians reap the best...this was just an example... same formula fits everywhere

[dansaghin1]

the man is AWARE ... and so right he is

[Adeikov]

Its just common sense, a neuroscientist could tell me this, and this guy is just showing a misunderstood area of common perception.

[clovek456]

So first comes experience (children gain it very fast) and then from this a knowledge is born..that is to say the basic knowledge the knowledge of who i am..to whom I belong what is the name of the place where I live what food I like and food I dont like.. which people like me and which dont..all this defines us as some identity..artificial identity..If we fully understand this "the other side" starts revealing itself to us too..

[anujdasgupta]

like a self-perpetuating myth?

[charlesn0107]

@anujdasgupta theres you, and theres the false image of you commonly referred to as ego. how do you see yourself in this very moment? if you see yourself as a small image of a you with a head and body and a story attached to it, this is false identification, this you does not breathe and does not have a beating heart.. unless you give it one thru visualisation. YOU are the one where seeing comes through eyes and sounds come through the ears. The real you can only see below your torso and nose

[tube4625]

end up in the loony bin singing merry melodies and loony tunes; lol

[Menarson]

Seems like he's talking about the un-conscious mind, but didn't he say that psychology is bullshit and all doctors should be shot dead?

[9861356322]

We are indeed chicken hearted cowards, not ready to pose this kind of fundamental questions but interested only in comforters.As Descartes famously put it “I think, therefore I am” but UG is going further to question.........if we dont think then...........are " you " there?

[1983rahulsharma]

@9861356322 yes iam there .......in the sleeping state when there is no dream no world ...........but iam there not knowing ..........if there is no body then who wake up from sleeping state?

[9861356322]

@1983rahulsharma" Na jagranna me swapnako vaa sushupthi,

Ne viswo na vaa thaijasa pragnako vaa,

Avidhyathmakathwath trayanam thureeyam,

Thadekovasishta Shiva kevaloham.," - dashasloki

[9861356322]

@1983rahulsharma Neither the state of waking, Nor the state of dream, Nor the state of deep sleep is for me, Neither the earthy feelings, Nor the glorified feelings of dreams, Nor the feeling of wakefulness in sleep am I, For these are the souls of avidya, And I am the fourth, the thureeya, which is beyond these, So I am simply Shiva the self, For this remains even in sleep, After everything is taken out.

[9861356322]

@1983rahulsharma It is thought that suggest u that u r awake and not in sleep, that u r alive not dead but when thought or thinking comes to an end there is no way of knowing whether u r awake or asleep dead or living. I m just sharing my understanding not trying to counter u may be I m wrong.

[1983rahulsharma]

@9861356322 i am also not counter u ....also not ug ...from experience i have only three states iam not reading scriptures .......now u use the right word .......without thought......now i cannot argue ..........

[charlesn0107]

@9861356322 its not that thinking comes to an end its that thinking is given less importance and recognised as a tool that you as the being uses. if you identify yourself as the thinking (mind) then you live from a conflicting perspective, comparing knowledge and thats where we conflict. Pause thinking for a second and we can be pure being together no conflicting knowledge just the remaining knowing that we are alive before thought and that is the miracle. msg me if you need nething else cleared

[9861356322]

@charlesn0107 but who or what is trying to pause thought i am nt putting across a counter question but is it nt thought that is trying to pause thought?

[overcontrol]

@1983rahulsharma anybody

[whitelotuswithsnake]

Collectivist bullshit!

[15hmael]

@whitelotuswithsnake If you just said bullshit, I think even U.G. would agree to that.
