Title: The works and ideas of Krishnamurti
Post by: sciborg2 on February 11, 2014, 09:13:57 am
Found this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=dJ8c7j3u6nM), which has a biography and then some summarization of his works.

Note that Bohm, who I made a thread about yesterday, came up with his Implicate Order partially through his dialogue with Krishnamurti.

Here's the repository of his work. (http://www.jkrishnamurti.org/default.php)

Madness might better direct us to specific works.

He's such a prolific speaker.

Thankfully, for whatever reason, youtube perceives him unlike many other thinkers and so documents his work. Some of my favorites from over the years:

Why Are We So Separated In Society (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JNrvujpVFk)
Exploring the essence Love-Holistic Observation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHqfXHox35Q)
Why Do We Ask Questions and For Purpose (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_8h0Bl1uCk)
A Deep Abiding Honesty (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33Yd2obNZ0g)
The Art of Listening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iyPDesSnoc)

Oh! I saw "Why are we so separated in society" long time a go:)  That is a good one.

J. Krishnamurti, David Bohm, Rupert Sheldrake and John Hidley: The Nature of the Mind [4 hrs ] (http://www.seekeraftertruth.com/krishnamurti-david-bohm-rupert-sheldrake-john-hidley-the-nature-of-the-mind/)

Sheldrake looks so young!

Just starting on this, so far so good...

You should check out the trialogues with Sheldrake, Mckenna and Abraham. Those will make you dizzy :D

I've been meaning to get to those. I've finished only the first hour of the dialogue I linked above.

It's all great stuff but I'm not one to usually sit and just listen to someone talk. Part of the issue is if I do anything else I often get distracted and have to rewind.

I have a soft spot for Sheldrake. The determination he has at least is worthy of respect. And the data isn't wholly against him from what I understand, at least not yet since not enough studies have been conducted.
