J.
KRISHNAMURTI 2
DVDS
The
Nature of the Mind - between the 16th & 18th of
april, 1982
Four
discussions took place in Ojai, California between
the religious philosopher J. Krishnamurti, the
physicist David Bohm, the biologist Rupert
Sheldrake and the psychiatrist John Hidley. The
purpose of these discussions is to explore
essential questions about the mind: What is
psychological disorder and what is required for
fundamental psychological change? Is it possible to
understand the mind, the nature of consciousness,
its relationship with human suffering and the
potential for change?
- Each DVD
contains two parts and is in
English-
Part 1
: The Roots of Psychological
Disorder
Part 2 : Psychological Suffering
In these first two parts consideration has been
given to the process of self-identification. A
range of subjects have been related to this process
including the problem of suffering, the role of
thinking and memory, images and the uniqueness or
commonality of consciousness. Can these processes
be observed and what is the relationship of
observation to order, responsibility and change?
They discuss whether it is possible to live in this
world without conflict and whether the need for
psychological security is the root of all one's
problems? They explore what is meant by security
and try to discover why we get hurt. They discuss
how we have an image of ourselves and take it to be
'me', take it to be real. From that, arises the
fundamental question: whether it is possible not to
have images at all? So, what am I, what are you and
what is each one of us? They ask why do we want to
'become' and whether it is not just an escape from
what is? They conclude by stating that as long as
there is this divisive process of life, there must
be conflict. In division there is isolation, in
isolation there is no security and therefore there
is no order.

Part 3
: The Need For Security
Part 4 : What Is A Healthy Mind?
In these last two parts, they begin the discussion
by seeing whether there is there such a thing as
absolute psychological security and try to discover
what it is that makes people ask for security? They
discuss loneliness, the desire to be free from
fear, anxiety and agony. They ask that If one
really loves, is there a need for security? It is
proposed that maybe unconsciously we know that the
self is really totally unstable in its nature and
therefore there is this anxiety for security and as
a result we seek something absolute which gives
complete contentment? Krishnamurti remarks that
when there is perception of that which is true,
that very truth is sufficient. They then look into
the nature of thought, at the difference between
attention and inattention and inquire into analysis
and observation. They ask the questions: what does
'being' mean? Is it the opposite to 'becoming'?
Does 'being' imply 'non-movement', which is without
thought and time?
They end their dialogue exploring what is meant by
a whole, sane and healthy mind and inquire whether
it is a mind that is totally, dispassionately
unattached, without any conflict.

J.
KRISHNAMURTI
Death
Conversation
with Buddhist scholars and teachers from Brockwood
Park, 1979
(Old title : What
is it that dies?)
Participants : J.
Krishnamurti, Dr. Rahula, Feros Mehta, Dr.
Parchure, Mr. Narayan and four teachers from
Brockwood Park.
J. Krishnamurti
and the participants investigate together the topic
of death. Each person goes through the same
tragedies, misfortunes - humanity is one. Then, is
there life after death? What is death? Who dies?
What happens to the flow of emotions, to the name
and form, and to the body after death? Is there
anything which has not been created by man? Is it
possible to be free from the manifested flow of
emotions, name, form and body? "To find out what
death is one has to live with it. Thought has
created religious illusions, but insight is beyond
thought. Insight is of freedom."
"When
the body dies, the desires, the anxieties, the
tragedies and the misery go on. They go on
contributing to the vast common stream in which
mankind lives.
By
enquiring into the whole nature of suffering can X
end it and be out of the stream ? The free enquiry
into suffering is insight. As long as I accept any
authority, Buddhist or otherwise, can there be
insight?
For
the man who is no longer a manifestation of the
stream, intelligence, love and compassion are
operating."

KRISHNAMURTI
First
Public Talk, Washington D.C., 20th April, 1985
In the Present
is the Whole of Time
The questions and
topics explored by J. Krishnamurti during this
public talk are the following:
Why are we, after this long evolution, perpetually
in conflict?
Why has humanity, each one of us, accepted fear as
a way of life?
Why do we live and act on the basis of thought?
What is the relationship between time and
thought?
Can there be total mutation now in our behaviour,
way of living, thinking, and feeling?
If you had no memory at all could you think?
Memory arises from knowledge and experience. Is the
experience different from the experiencer?
If there is no experiencer, then is there any
experience?

KRISHNAMURTI
Second
Public Talk, Washington D.C., 21st April, 1985
At the End of
Sorrow Is Passion
The questions and
topics explored by J. Krishnamurti during this
public talk are the following:
What is order and what is disorder and what is
their relationship to action? Can disorder end in
our daily life?
Concerned as we are with our own suffering how can
there be love?
Is sorrow brought about by self-pity?
What happens after death? Does one carry the
memories of one's own life?
If we don't cling to a thing, then what is
death?
Can one live with death all the time with all one's
energy and vitality?
If there is real order in one's life, what then is
meditation?
Following a system, practising day after day, what
happens to the human brain?
Is there a meditation which is not determined?
Through one's own understanding of oneself there is
that which is eternal.
