The Collected Works of J. Krishnamurti

Publisher: Krishnamurti Foundation of America
ISBN: 9780840362728
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 438
Book Description
In this volume, Krishnamurti takes great care to elucidate this necessity of a revolution within our consciousness where the problem lies before we expect any kind of revolutionary change outside of ourselves. Krishnamurti posits that if the politicians and scientists wanted to end starvation in the world it could be done." It could be done, but they are not going to do it as long as their thinking is based on nationalism, on motives of their own personal profit. And even if this far-reaching outward change were brought about, it seems to me that the problem is much deeper." "The problem is not merely starvation, war, the brutality of man to man; it is the crisis in our own consciousness. Fundamentally the problem lies within." (p. 295)

Krishnamurti begins by putting forth the following questions to the students: "Why you are learning history, mathematics, geography? Have you ever thought why you go to schools and colleges? Is it not very important to find out why you are crammed with information, with so-called knowledge? What is all this so-called education? Your parents send you here because they have taken certain degrees and have passed certain examinations. Have you ever asked yourselves why you are here, and have the teachers themselves asked you why you are here? Do the teachers themselves know why they are here?" An extensive compendium of Krishnamurti's talks and discussions in the USA, Europe, India, New Zealand, and South Africa from 1933 to 1967—the Collected Works have been carefully authenticated against existing transcripts and tapes.

The Answer Is in the Problem

Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
In these Talks, given in Europe, Ojai and India, Krishnamurti addresses the need to approach our life problems in a manner does not perpetuate fragmentation. "Though we have many problems, and each problem seems to produce so many other problems, perhaps we can consider together whether the wisest thing to do is, not to seek the solution of any problem at all. It seems to me that our minds are incapable of dealing with life as a whole; we deal, apparently, with all problems fragmentarily, separately, not with an integrated outlook. Perhaps the first thing, if we have problems, is not to seek an immediate solution for them, but to have the patience to inquire deeply into them, and discover whether these problems can ever be solved by the exercise of will. What is important, I think, is to find out, not how to solve the problem, but how to approach it."

San Juan Sunrise

Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504383818
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Jenny was raised, along with her twin brother, in a commune in northern California. Her life there had become a living nightmare from parental neglect and abuse, as well as bullying from her peers. A surprise birthday gift from her grandparents for her eighteenth birthday gave her the ability to run away. She managed to get to her grandparents in Denver who nurtured her and helped her earn her college degree. She moved to southwest Colorado after she graduated, and became a recluse, not trusting that anyone she might meet would not try to torment her as she had been in her childhood. She chose to live her life in isolation from human contact and did so for the next two years: summers of living out of a backpack in the San Juan Mountains and winters spent in a secluded cabin north of Durango. She spent her time exploring the mountain wilderness, reading books, and working on becoming a writer. Her only social interactions during this time of self-imposed seclusion were with the few people she encountered when she had to purchase supplies. Hiking down from the mountains for winter, she has a chance encounter with an older man on whose property she wants to camp for a night. A surprise early snowstorm strands her with this man for the duration and sets in motion a series of events that will lead her on adventures of self discovery that move her from the shadows of her past.

Intuition
Author: Osho
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin
ISBN: 1429907673
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Discover your own deep well of wisdom in Intuition: Knowing Beyond Logic—from one of the greatest spiritual teachers of the twentieth century. Intuition deals with the difference between the intellectual, logical mind and the more encompassing realm of spirit. Logic is how the mind knows reality, intuition is how the spirit experiences reality. Osho’s discussion of these matters is wonderfully lucid, occasionally funny, and thoroughly engrossing. All people have a natural capacity for intuition, but often social conditioning and formal education work against it. People are taught to ignore their instincts rather than to understand and use them as a foundation for individual growth and development—and in the process they undermine the very roots of the innate wisdom that is meant to flower into intuition. In this volume, Osho pinpoints exactly what intuition is and gives guidelines for how to identify its functioning in others and ourselves. You will learn to distinguish between genuine intuitive insight and the “wishful thinking” that can often lead to mistaken choices and unwanted consequences. Includes many specific exercises and meditations designed to nourish and support each individual’s natural intuitive gifts. Osho challenges readers to examine and break free of the conditioned belief systems and prejudices that limit their capacity to enjoy life in all its richness. He has been described by the Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century” and by Sunday Mid-Day (India) as one of the ten people—along with Gandhi, Nehru, and Buddha—who have changed the destiny of India. Since his death in 1990, the influence of his teachings continues to expand, reaching seekers of all ages in virtually every country of the world.
