Outer Streams, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Part 6 of 6.

Philosophy Professor Dr. Theodore Kneupper explains the spiritual teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti, Part 6 of 6.

Part 6 of 6: This week on Science and the Outer Streams, Philosophy Professor Dr. Theodore Kneupper explains the spiritual teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti. Krishnamurti is described as having a "clear-headed capacity to articulate the central problem of human existence and to point out the direction in which one may find a solution, while insisting on one's own responsibility of the discovery of real freedom and the realization of enlightenment." Dr. Kneupper studied with Krishnamurti in Madras, India, and has written and delivered papers on the subject at various international conferences. Host is Pittsburgh Theosophical Society President Andy Nesky.

k teaching is to mirror yourself. you only discover yourself through the mirror relationships with others, observing your reactions

[fusionhar]

The only 'key' is to negate EVERYTHING you have ever thought you have understood and disgard every so called authority on this subject.

Only then you begin to see the pointlessness and stupitity of listening to others and completely wasting the precious life blessing of complete freedom to be the ultimate light which is within you.

14 thousand views is pitiful, I can't believe most people only use the internet for mindless entertainment, so depressing

Krishanmurti was an aristocrat. He had a life-long pension. He was economically self-sufficient, financially free. Krishnamurti schools teaches kids to be 'free',but, in as much as they charge money to support teachers is not 'free' in several senses of the word. If some people are 'saturated' by their conditioning, there are some that are so far off the map, in this sense poor without purchasing power. lets' reverse the equation. we're all free,but the rich are conditioned..

I will be looking up more of this Dr.'s work. He's easy to understand. Few have that talent of bringing profound truths to a level which all can grasp.

@Kaschperl nothing wrong in explaining J.K's teachings, but not to mention this Dr. in question here, we cannot say if there is nobody on earth who is living J.K's teachings, by means of 'observation', or what J.K had advocated throughout his life, of being choicelessly aware.

[Kaschperl]

Nothing worser than trying to explain Krishnaji. If Dr. had indeed understood K.'s teachings, he wouldn't be trying to explain him, but living his teachings. After all, these can not be filtered by any model, pattern. Another conditioning!

@yolenin1 1. I think he is dead ... 2. good point lol never thought of it like that ... I think you got terms confused but still interesting paradox you presented

[yolenin1]

jiddu sounds like an idiot, starting a school to condition children to be free of conditioning? you should check out uppaluir krishnamurti

It's hard for people to see that transformation they expect because people expect to see that happening materially. The transformation happens spiritually.  He left the material body but he is still around spiritually, that's why we say: he passed on!

[MagiMysteryTour]

He seems to have spent his whole life struggling against people treating him as a Guru and trying to get them to be their own guru, not to depend on him to give them the answers but to urge them to start up their own minds to get their own answers for themselves,
