Like so many spiritual teachers K seems to me to be overly pessimistic about the quality of ordinary lives. When I walk down the street I don't see faces distraught with fear and loneliness but people simply enjoying their lives. It often seems to me that these guys create such problems in the minds of their listeners and then propose their message as the solution, or not even that in K's case.

K was not neccesarily being "pessimistic", but rather he was being factual. You may not "see faces distraught with fear and loneliness but people simply enjoying their lives", But - these people you see are living in a framework of their conditioning, that is the basis of conflict in peoples lives, that framework can collapse at anytime. There was an expression K used: negate that which is, to come to the positive. In other words - understand this mess and go beyond it, put the house in order.

[zootsoot2006]

I don't see how that framework can collapse at anytime. It also depends on what kind of conditioning you're talking about: you can have positive (prolife) or negative (antilife). Sure, the person whose conditioning is largely negative certainly is in danger of the framework collapsing under stressful conditions. But ordinary people have a workable balance between the two, which keeps them grounded and on course in their lives.

Can I give an example? A conditioned Religious/Political/Ideologica­l person gets a sense of comfort in that ism, so there is dependence. From that they will react/defend any challenge to that framework. To me any form of so called normality in this society is still illusory because the thought process (egoism - which is a fact in our lives) is based on duality creating a sense of division between people, therefore comparison and conflict. One has to really understand this deeply first.

I love this man, he speaks the truth with no shangla mangla - he keeps it real and simple. He remindes me of Suzuki Roshi.

...and suddenly it becomes clear to me...Krishnamurti was the inspiration for Yoda.

[AlwaysBe5]

to zootsoot2006: an unconditioned person can live eternally without conflict and misery, whereas a conditioned person (however good the condition) will have times of frustration and anguish.

I wish all human kind changed into Krishnamurti for a day. Then were able to see through his eyes what could be a way of living without judgement or war. just a thought..

@9samten I,THINK YOU SHOULD REREAD THE COMMENT .I, AM WELL AWARE OF JIDDU and was basically saying He SAID it all before ,I,was not praising or endorsing Comparing anyone BUT STATING I,WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO AND FOLLOW KRISHNAMURTI'S VIEW . BACK OFF.

[9samten]

@DYNODRUM To compare Krishnamurti to Chopra is comparing a realized being to a charlatan. Chopra is a fake parading in $2000 business suits, matching leather shoes and belts, charging enormous amount of money for his "spiritual" gigs. And as he softly "coos" to the audience while exploiting their human weaknesses he laughs all the way to the bank. Now even his kids, self-proclaimed gurus just like their father know where the money is. Open your eyes.

I for one remember trying to read some of his writings in my twenties and could not get very far because I thought they were very dry. Now 20 years later I can see the pervasiveness of natural unity. One in all, and all in One. And I wonder why nobody ever told me about it. I realize now that I was missing "The key understanding" to appreciate his intelligence. I think that now after seeing this documentary I'll be able to hear his books in his voice as I read them.

This Man spent His whole adult Life, deciphering /decoding the Human Mind /phsyche,AND has hit the nail directly On the Truth .. I ,wish the internet /youtube was only around in the 60s' and 70's- To have internalized this; we have Deepak Chopra now and others, but JIDDU was the Man in Front ..His work should be Honered and at least ,we have it Documented here...many Thanks...
