This video is a small excerpt from the session.

Transcript of excerpt:
You know we're always want to be led, but what about basically nature. We all want to be told what to do. Marx tells you what to do, Christ tells you what to do, the psychologists tell you what to do, the politicians tell you what to do. We're always looking for leaders - better political leader than the present one. And the better political leader is always not good enough but next one will be better. And so we keep this idea. Please let's be clear on this point. There is no leader as far as I am concerned. You can create the speaker into a leader, which will be an utter folly, but the speaker is not a leader. We are together co-operating to discover the cause of all this misery of man. You have had thousand leaders. They've all failed.

Quick Quote:
In the very action of the individual changing, surely, the collective will also change. They are not two separate things opposed to each other, the individual and the collective, though certain political groups try to separate the two and to force the individual to conform to the so-called collective. -Jiddu Krishnamurti

@UncoveringConscious I think you're missing the point. It's about speaker/leaders in general, it's not about Ron Paul. Nor is he excluded. Like Jiddu said "You have had thousand leaders. Them all failed." Ron Paul is no different. He just another speaker. People are looking to him as a savior and I assure you he is not. No more than Obama was/is our savior. Just setting yourself up for failure. Sure, things might get better for a few years... 8 or so but, then it's back to the same old BS. ;)

we don't need leaders ... we (really) need direct democracy.

[HajtomY]

@blinddaterix Well people will live free, as Jiddu envisions. Free to do what they want in anyway. Once most people will be enlightened there will exist a society where conditioning will nullify the need for a state, to do crime, etc... :) Hence no more democracy. :) Technology will provide.

@blinddaterix I know it sucks...... Its very difficult to implement the ideals we share since its very difficult, to elect the platonic selfless philosopher king who does not seek power.

[blinddaterix]

@HajtomY there is : representative democracy & direct democracy. In my opinion the technology will lead us to direct democracy sooner or later. If you believe in something else (better) feel free to share with us ;)

[blinddaterix]

@qortin i got your point, but...this my friend... is the tyranny of the minority :)

[HajtomY]

@blinddaterix Democracy is a failed system. :) Truly try to put into consideration man's problems democracy cannot fix them. In this system many things will be left it out. It cannot be.

[HajtomY]

@UncoveringConscious Dude JIddu is talking bout you being tied to no one. THat you must not have a leader to be truly free.

[qortin]

@blinddaterix that my friend is tyranny of the majority. What we need the the strictest interpretation of the American Constitutional Republic, where 99% of the population could not take away the rights of the 1%. Peace.
