11 • San Diego 1974 (11/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 11: Being Hurt and Hurting Others

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson11/18: Being Hurt and Hurting Others
Q: What is a religious life?
The word ‘religion’ means gathering together all energy, at all levels, so that it will bring about great attention. Can the mind be so totally attentive that the unnameable comes into being?
What is the quality, structure, nature of a mind, and therefore of a heart and brain, that can perceive something beyond the measurement of thought, something that is not only sacred and holy in itself but that is capable of seeing something immense?
In discussing religion we ought to inquire into the nature of hurt, because a mind that is not hurt is an innocent mind. Can our hurts be healed so that not a mark is left and can future hurts be prevented, without any resistance?

12 • San Diego 1974 (12/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 12: Love, Sex and Pleasure

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson12/18: Love, Sex and Pleasure
Q: What is love?
Is love pleasure, the expression of desire? Is love the fulfilment of sexual appetite? 
Is love the pursuit of a desired end? Is love a thing that can be cultivated?
Love has been identified with sex which means, basically, with pleasure. Why have we made sex such an enormous, fantastic, romantic, sentimental affair? What is the relationship of joy, enjoyment and pleasure to love?
To come upon this thing called love you must understand the place of pleasure. A mind that has been trained, sustained in this rotten social conditioning must first free itself before it can talk about love.

13 • San Diego 1974 (13/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 13: A Different Way of Living

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson13/18: A Different Way of Living
Q: What is living?
What actually is existence, living, this whole field of man's endeavour to better himself, not only in the technological world but also psychologically? Man wants to be different, he wants to be more than he is.
Isn't the way we live most impractical, an insane way of living, destructive, with utter indifference to the earth? Is this the way to behave, to appreciate the beauty of living? Is there a way of living without conflict?
As a human being am I ever conscious? And what is consciousness? Is consciousness its content? Is death a continuity of that consciousness, or the ending of consciousness with its content?

14 • San Diego 1974 (14/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 14: Death, Life and Love Are Indivisible

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson14/18: Death, Life and Love Are Indivisible
Q: What is death?
If one is not frightened then what is death? What is it one is frightened of in death? Is it of losing the content of consciousness?
Death becomes living when the content of consciousness, which makes its own frontier, its own limitations, comes to an end. Can that content empty itself?
Can the mind be aware totally of all the content: the collective, the personal, the racial, the transitory?
You can only incarnate now when you die to the content. You can be reborn, regenerate totally if you die to the content. So living is dying.
Living, love and death are one, moving and indivisible, and that is immortal.

15 • San Diego 1974 (15/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 15: Religion, Authority and Education - Part 1

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson15/18: Religion, Authority and Education - Part 1
Q: What is religion?
In the West and the East, in the world of Islam, Buddhism or Christianity the same principle goes on, worshipping an image which has been created. It is the human being that has created the image. Can the mind observe this phenomenon and see its own demand for security, permanency, and deny all that?
Why does the mind divide life, accepting authority in one way and denying it in another? We accept the tyranny of a petty little guru with fanciful ideas and reject a political tyranny or a dictatorship.
What is the importance of authority? What is behind this acceptance of authority?

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson16/18: Religion, Authority and Education - Part 2
How am I to inquire into religion?
What is religion, what is God, what is immortality, what is beauty? Can the mind put aside totally the structure of thought with regard to religion?
Can the mind be free of the authority of another, however divine or not divine? Can the mind put away everything that man has taught, invented, imagined about religion, God? Can wisdom be sought through a book, a teacher, from another, through sacrifice, torture, renunciation?
Can the mind be free of all the things that are born of fear, desire, pleasure?
Your thoughts, speech and behaviour are the very essence of religion. If they are not, religion can't exist.

17 • San Diego 1974 (17/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 17: Meditation, a Quality of Attention That Pervades All of One’s Life

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson17/18: Meditation, a Quality of Attention That Pervades All of One’s Life
Q: What is meditation?
Do we accept the orthodox, traditional, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Sufi meditation, or could we put away all that and ask: what is meditation?
To start from not knowing what meditation is, then I'm free to flow in the inquiry.
Is meditation divorced from daily living or does meditation cover the whole field of existence?
In my inquiry am I awake or is the past so alive that it is dictating my life in the present?
Is there a way of living without control? Can I live a life of meditation in which there is no control?

18 • San Diego 1974 (18/18) • Conversation with Allan W. Anderson 18: Meditation and the Sacred Mind

Krishnamurti: A Wholly Different Way of LivingSan Diego 1974, Conversations with Allan W. Anderson18/18: Meditation and the Sacred Mind
Q: What place has will in meditation?
Can you be choicelessly aware of this movement of desire, control, will, action?
What is space? Do we have space? Can the mind have space? When the mind is occupied with family, business, God, drink, sex, is there space? When knowledge occupies the whole field of the mind there is no space. Outward space is not going to give inner space.
There is no silence when there is direction. Can the mind empty itself of its content? Can the mind, the brain, the body be really silent? When the mind is utterly silent what is the immeasurable? In silence, time stops.

19 • Brockwood Park 1971 (1/6) • Talk 1: Being Free of the Deepest Conditioning

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of EnergyBrockwood Park 1971, Public Meetings1/6: Being Free of the Deepest Conditioning
Can man ever be free, not only of the superficial conditioning of a particular culture, but also of the much deeper conditioning, of which most of us are unconscious?
The demand for psychological security is much deeper than the demand for physiological security.
How is thought to function beautifully, efficiently, healthily and not create division between people?
Is there a field which is not measurable by thought? 
There must be a learning of observation in which thought doesn’t interfere at all.
How am I to be aware of the unconscious, hidden images?
Can there be silence from which thought can operate?

Krishnamurti: Meditation Is the Total Release of EnergyBrockwood Park 1971, Public Meetings2/6: Action Without the Authority of the Image
Can we have a relationship, and therefore co-operation, without the authority of the image?
How am I consciously to examine all the images which lie hidden in the recesses of my mind?
Q: If the mind is in a state of disorder, what can it do?
When there is no observer in attention there is no image-forming at all.
