Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson1/18: Knowledge and the Transformation of Man
Q: Is there freedom in knowledge?
It is our business as human beings to realize the enormous suffering, misery, confusion in the world. Do we realize with all seriousness our responsibility to the whole of mankind?
Do we see the basic factor that we are the world, that the world is not separate from us?
What place has knowledge, experience in changing the quality of a mind that has become violent, petty, selfish, greedy, ambitious?
What are the limits of knowledge? Can the mind be free from the known, not verbally but actually?

2 • San Diego 1974 (2/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 2: Knowledge and Conflict in Human Relationships

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson2/18: Knowledge and Conflict in Human Relationships
Q: What place has knowledge in relationship?
There must be freedom from the known, otherwise the known is merely the repetition of the past, the tradition, the image.
The observer is tradition, the past, the conditioned mind that looks at things, at itself, at the world.
When the observer observes he does so with memories, experience, hurts, despairs, hopes, with the background of knowledge.
Whenever man operates with that knowledge in relationships there is division and therefore conflict.

3 • San Diego 1974 (3/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 3: What Is Communication With Others?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson3/18: What Is Communication With Others?
Q: What does it mean to be serious?
In the word ‘communication’ is implied the art of listening.
Listening demands a quality of attention in which there is a real sense of having an insight as we go along, each second.
Communication implies that we must be at the same level at the same time, with the same intensity, walking together on the same road, thinking together in the same tongue, observing together, sharing together.
Responsibility means total commitment. The world is in a mess and it's my responsibility, living in this world as a human being who has created this mess, to be serious about its resolution.

4 • San Diego 1974 (4/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 4: What Is a Responsible Human Being?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson4/18: What Is a Responsible Human Being?
Q: What is responsibility in human relationship?
What is your responsibility for human growth, human culture, human goodness? What is your responsibility to the earth?
When you feel responsible for a child there is a flowering of real affection and care and you don't train him or condition him to kill another for the sake of your country.
Human beings are now conditioned to be irresponsible. What are the serious people going to do with the irresponsible people?
If you show me how irresponsible I am, what responsibility means, you care for me. When there is total responsibility in which freedom and care go together, the mind has no image in relationship.

5 • San Diego 1974 (5/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 5: Order Comes From the Understanding of Our Disorder

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson5/18: Order Comes From the Understanding of Our Disorder
Q: What is order in freedom?
Unless we understand the nature and structure of disorder we can never find out what is order. How has the whole phenomenon of disorder come about?
Is order something imposed, a discipline, which is conformity, suppression, imitation? Is order acceptance, obedience?
Unless we understand the movement of thought we cannot understand disorder. A mind that is caught in measurement can never find truth. Is it possible to look without measurement? 
Is it possible to live a life, the whole of life, acting, laughing, crying, without a shadow of comparison?

6 • San Diego 1974 (6/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 6: The Nature and Total Eradication of Fear

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson6/18: The Nature and Total Eradication of Fear
Q: Can the mind be free of fear?
Physical fears and psychological fears are interrelated. There are conscious as well as unconscious fears.
The racial fears, the fears that society has taught me, the fears that the family has imposed, all those crawling, ugly, brutal things that are hidden, how can they all come up naturally and be exposed so that the mind sees them completely?
What is the answer to this fact of fear which has been carried on from generation to generation?
Is there a way of dealing with fear, not the branches but the root of it? 
Behind the words, the descriptions, the explanations, what is fear?

7 • San Diego 1974 (7/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 7: Understanding, Not Controlling, Desire

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson7/18: Understanding, Not Controlling, Desire
Q: What is pleasure? What is desire?
We are not condemning pleasure but observing it. To go into the question of pleasure one has to look into desire. Through propaganda desire is inflamed.
What is desire? How does it come about that this very strong desire is born, cultivated? Must desire be controlled at all? Desire seems to be a very active and demanding instinct that is going on all the time.
Why has pleasure, whether of sex, possession, power, knowledge or enlightenment, become so extraordinarily important in life? Pleasure is an extraordinary thing. To see a beautiful thing and to enjoy it, what is wrong with that?

8 • San Diego 1974 (8/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 8: Does Pleasure Bring Happiness?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson8/18: Does Pleasure Bring Happiness?
Q: What relationship has pleasure to joy? Is pleasure happiness?
Is there any relationship between pleasure and enjoyment? What is pleasure and what keeps it going? What is the pursuit, the constant direction of it?
A single tree standing on the hill. You see that it is really beautiful, the flowers, the deer, the meadows, the water, and the single tree and its shadow. It is almost breath-taking.
Does thought then come along and say how extraordinary it was, what a delight it was? Isn't there then desire for repetition? So thought gives nourishment, sustains it and gives a direction to pleasure. Why should thought come into it at all?

9 • San Diego 1974 (9/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 9: Sorrow, Passion and Beauty

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson9/18: Sorrow, Passion and Beauty
Q: What is beauty?
We are becoming more and more artificial, superficial and verbal. Has man lost touch with nature? Has he lost the delicacy, the sensitivity of the mind, heart and body? 
What is beauty? Must it be expressed? Does it need the word, the stone, the colour, the paint, or is it something that cannot be put into words, into a building, a statue?
Without passion you can't have beauty. Passion comes when there is suffering. Remaining with that suffering, not escaping from it, brings passion. Passion means the complete abandonment of the ‘me’, the self, the ego, and therefore the austerity of great beauty.

10 • San Diego 1974 (10/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 10: The Art of Listening

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson10/18: The Art of Listening
Q: What is seeing? What is listening? What is learning?
Do we see actually or through a screen darkly, through a screen of prejudice, a screen of our experiences, wishes, pleasures, fears, between us and the object of perception? Do we ever see the thing at all?
Does the act of listening bring about complete freedom from all statements? Is the mind completely attentive? Then the mind is extraordinarily free to act. Then the seeing is doing.
I learn in order to gain reward or avoid punishment. I learn a particular job or craft to earn a livelihood. Is learning a process of accumulation? Is there any other kind of learning that is not accumulating, and acting from that? 
Have we learned anything from sorrow? What is there to learn?
