J. Krishnamurti - Saanen 1976 - Public Talk 7 - When you are a light to yourself you are...
Published 2016-12-18
Summary:
There is no one to guide you, to tell you that you are progressing or to encourage you.
You have to stand completely alone in meditation. This light can only come to you when you understand what you are.
To be aware of oneself without any choice, allowing the whole movement of the self to flower. As you observe, it undergoes a radical transformation.
Thought has divided itself as the controller and the controlled, but there is only thinking.
To observe your consciousness wholly there must be no motive or direction.
Q: What is right livelihood?

The internet allows us all to access K's teachings even though he passed on 40 years ago, amazing...

"So observation can only take place in the NOW... In the very doing of it - when you are angry, when you are greedy... To observe it as it is - which means not to condemn it, not to judge it but to watch it, let it flower and disappear"

Once I followed my conditioning and reason of anger . I really thought in my mind that ACTUALLY I don’t need anything. ❤I observed my GF as if I am seeing her for the first time as a human being ( not even as a woman ) . It really happened, the mutation in brain . A flow of energy started from No where and I watched that now onwards I am in present and I don’t exist as a personality but only a living organism among the nature FULL of LOVE with each and everything❤
-
”the word “experience”means to go through, to go through and finish it , not to record it . The recording of it becomes a memory , and that memory distorts observation.” thank you so much 。

i feel like just by listening to this something has changed in me
-
10:35 When you are a light to yourself you are a light to the world, because the world is you, and you are the world.

This is just incredible. Not a single word wasted, everything is spot on. Its totally admirable that he actually never ever gave up on us for decades, even tho the wast majority did not get what he was talking about whatsoever. At that time this was all hard to get, but now that I think of it, JK kinda nourished Humanity that led us to our present understanding, we now are more capable to accept everything.
-
I get a sense that he summed his whole effort in liberating man in "Being a light to oneself is to be a light to the World" sums up his effort to free Man from all the bondage. He covered the whole issue of meditation in the process.
-
He is the real spiritual master who does not expose but sincerely does all that only a real master can do.we proud of such great person for his great contribution to the world.
-
There will never be another like him❤
-
You have to learn from many different teachers and someone like him can put it all together.
-
JK's teachings should be part of the curriculum of schools, colleges and universities.. Love from Punjab INDIA
-
The way he simply walks off the stage at the end 😅
-
"The past which is a movement. The now which is non-movement." Those few words, if gone into with full seriousness, could transform human beings, could transform the whole world.
-
The only channel with no ads whatsoever
-
When you are light to yourself you are light to the World. 🌎
-
Talk 7 is sent from heaven❤. Every word should be gone over and over. The Speaker is the Cosmic teacher. I am very grateful for his messages to explain in depth the Human Condition😊
