J. Krishnamurti - Santa Monica 1972 - Public Talk 1 - To act instantly is to see actually ‘what is’
Published 2017-06-18
Summary:
Action is always in the present, not tomorrow or in some distant future – action means now.
Your mind is my mind, your sorrow is my sorrow. There is no division in sorrow, there is no division in love.
Can you put away from your mind the idea that you have to learn to be aware?
Q: When have you experienced joy?
Q: What does it take to snap from adaptive conditional behaviour to spontaneity?
Q: If you throw a stone into the water, do the ripples stop?
Q: What’s wrong with identifying with the Godself?
Q: Is the speaker aware of the contradiction between his words, his message and his life, what he is doing, the medium of his message?
Q: How do I go about being aware of myself?

They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.'

I sat at night on the lake behind my house in the wee hours, and really listened. And when I understood my mouth hung open. Now is different, forever.

One of the best speeches of JK..living with it is really matters.

If you can listen to him properly, as he himself advises you, then instantly you will realize what he says and instantly you will be able to do it. Even most difficult ones. I tried it and suprized.

"Don't depend on anyone, no teacher can teach, no book, no spiritual organizations; one has to learn all this by oneself. And there the mind will discover incredible things No fragmentation. To such a mind there is no time, living becomes a different meaning. Listening to a pattern of thought, like, and dislike prevents this. Powerful observation.

The most amazing man that ever lived

I am about to go out into the woods for a week, and this was exactly what I need to do when I am there, and then maybe it will sink in enough that I will be able to do it even in the city.

I am free of all other thinkers! I am thinking for myself!

K says, "Don't try to understand the speaker, understand yourself! Look at yourself and be light to yourself!" Ignorance is the darkness in my mind. Dispel the darkness by understanding myself. Have dialogues with myself, everyday. (K's A Dialogue with Oneself at the first public talk, Santa Monica, 1945)

The Friend of Humanity

Things have improved since then: Madness is so much stronger nowadays! More growth in that domain is to be expected! Even the rich got much much more rich, what a success!

Great discussion about joy and happiness

"the content makes up the consciousness". this is a really important point. only after one has emptied the contents of their consciousness can one get past the barrier of consciousness to pure awareness. we sense that awareness is just behind consciousness but it's obscured by the consciousness which only exists to hold it's own contents. this is real -- some may call it the void or emptiness, some may call it god, some may call it enlightenment or stillness or being outside of space/time but all fingers are pointing at the same moon. good luck everyone.
