The Krishnamurti Collection

61 • Brockwood Park 1975 (1/6) • Talk 1: What Is the Function of Thought?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings1/6: What Is the Function of Thought?
Is there an action that is whole and complete at the personal and social level?
Does thought, having created the ‘me’ make it into a fragment? 
Can thought realize its limitation and not spill over into the realm it can never touch? 
Is compassion the result of thought?
Can thought be attentive to its own movements? 
Can you look at your disorder without choosing and totally deny it? 
Is the very act of walking away from disorder, order?
Do you observe directly or from a distance? Is distance actuality or created by thought?
When you observe the limitations of thought, you are left empty, naked, void.

62 • Brockwood Park 1975 (2/6) • Talk 2: Can Suffering End Totally?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings2/6: Can Suffering End Totally?
Isn't the only energy of thought we know that which comes in contradiction and duality?
How does desire arise? Is it seeing, sensation, contact, then desire?
Why is there a sense of wanting, lack, pursuing something all the time, which is desire? 
Does desire, the wanting of something create fear?
Is there a centre from which all fear springs? 
When you look without naming, is there fear?
Have we invented psychological time?
To uncover the unconscious must you analyse? If you don't analyse what are you to do?
Is there a different kind of energy altogether?

63 • Brockwood Park 1975 (3/6) • Discussion 1: The Action of Total Awareness

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings3/6: The Action of Total Awareness
Q: What does it mean to be aware?
If you are aware every moment your conditioning does not exist.
Is there an activity which is not mechanical? 
The mechanical part of the brain follows a line set by thought. 
Thought itself is mechanical.
We are all hurt from childhood. Is it the image that is hurt?
It is tradition, part of our education to have images, according to our environment and culture.
If there is no image the whole brain is unconditioned. Then the brain is on fire. It is non-mechanical and has a totally different kind of energy. 
Only in being nothing is there security.

64 • Brockwood Park 1975 (4/6) • Discussion 2: Do You Respond According to an Image?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings4/6: Do You Respond According to an Image?
Q: How is one to be aware of the content of one's consciousness?
To be totally aware implies no observer. The observer is the past which therefore brings about fragmentation.
Can you live in the present? To live in the presentmeans not a single memory not a single breath of the past.
All images are in the past. Why can't I drop all that and live in the now?
Is one aware that one has an image about another? 
If there is no image how does one respond? What then is relationship with another?

65 • Brockwood Park 1975 (5/6) • Talk 3: Is There Something With No Beginning or End?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings5/6: Is There Something With No Beginning or End?
Can we end suffering at all levels inwardly?
Can there be love, not just personal love but the enormous feeling of compassion?
What is the total significance of death, the ending of what we know as life?
That which ends has a new beginning, not that which has a continuity. Can there be an ending to time?
Has time created the centre, the ‘me’?
What is immortality, eternity, a timeless state? What happens to those caught in the movement of time?
What is the relationship between one who is out of the stream of sorrow and one who is in it?

66 • Brockwood Park 1975 (6/6) • Talk 4: Can We Ever Perceive Truth?

Krishnamurti: What Is Correct Action in a Disintegrating World?Brockwood Park 1975, Public Meetings6/6: Can We Ever Perceive Truth?
What is reality? What are the limitations of thought and can it ever perceive truth?
Can we go far unless there is order in the world of reality?
Is there an observation of the field of reality without the movement of thought?
What is freedom? 
To understand freedom one must deny all authority, which demands great attention. 
Having observed the disorder in our lives order comes into being.
Can time have a stop? Which means, can the mind be still not by controlling thought? Then one comes upon that which is timeless, sacred and the very essence of compassion.

67 • Brockwood Park 1978 (1/2) • Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 1: Has There Been a Radical Change in Krishnamurti’s Teaching?

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1978Brockwood Park 1978, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar1/2: Has There Been a Radical Change in Krishnamurti’s Teaching?
Q: Has there been a radical change in your teaching?
Has there been, after thirty years, a movement away from observation, from the division between the thinker and the thought, and from the whole content of consciousness?
Without preparation, without drill, without examination, is it possible to see the total content of consciousness and move out of it?
It is only possible to have a complete, total insight immediately, instantly, and that instant is not contained in time.
The thinker and the thought are identical, they are not separate.
The whole way of thinking is based on growth, becoming, evolving.
Will the mind, being so heavily conditioned by the tradition of growth, listen?

68 • Brockwood Park 1978 (1/2) • Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 2: Thought Cannot Fundamentally Perceive or Comprehend the Totality of Consciousness

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1978Brockwood Park 1978, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar2/2: Thought Cannot Fundamentally Perceive or Comprehend the Totality of Consciousness
What does the word ‘conscious’ mean to you?
Thought can never be aware of the total content of consciousness.
Can the mind perceive the totality?
Is there a love or a quality which is not part of consciousness?
Is it possible to observe with all your senses? When there is a movement of thought, it is a particular sense operating.
Is there a totally different dimension which is not the dimension of consciousness as we know it, not invented by thought?
What instrument or what quality is necessary to move out of this circle of consciousness?
How am I as a human being to discover 'the other'?
How can I know what order is when I live in total disorder?
There is action, which is non-action, when thought is completely, absolutely still.

69 • Brockwood Park 1981 (1/2) • Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 1: On God

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1981Brockwood Park 1981, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar1/2: On God
Q: Can we discuss and investigate into the nature of God?
Can we negate completely the whole movement of knowledge - except the knowledge of driving a car, speaking a language, technological knowledge?
Can one totally empty the whole accumulation of a million years? 
We never say, ‘I don’t know.’ That is a state of mind that is absolutely motionless, because I don’t know. I think that is one of our difficulties. We all want to know; which means put into the bag of knowledge what God is.
Could I have an insight into the movement of knowledge, so that the insight stops the movement? Not I stop the movement or the brain stops the movement; the very insight is the ending of this knowledge and the beginning of something entirely different.
Is it possible to quieten thought completely? 
Is it possible to be free of the meditator? Then there is no problem. Then there is no question whether there is God or no God – who cares? Then that meditation is the meditation of the universe.

70 • Brockwood Park 1981 (1/2) • Conversation with Pupul Jayakar 2: Living With Death

Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1981Brockwood Park 1981, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar2/2: Living With Death
What is ending?
The mind cannot enter into a totally new dimension if there is a shadow of memory of anything. 
If the movement of thought ends, consciousness as we know it is not.
Thought is the enemy of compassion.
Q: What significance has death?
I meet the Buddha. He has told me very carefully: be a light to yourself. So that truth is with me, it is the seed that is flowering in me. So if he goes away, the seed is flowering. But what is important is that seed of truth which has been planted by my alertness, awareness, intense listening. That seed will flower. 
Have we, in this dialogue, seen the meaning of death, the extraordinary beauty of ending something?
