It doesn't matter what we understand, it matters only whether we pick up the food and eat it. As example, food provides nutrition to our bodies even if we know nothing at all about the processes of digestion. Simple meditation techniques, walking, fishing, a thousand ordinary actions can get the job done without any understanding being involved. More to the point, the understanding is actually unnecessary. What one does with that understanding seems rather more important. I still find this insight philosophically interesting (see my many mentions of this in many threads) but the understanding on it's own is of limited value. I credit JK with teaching me that "thought is inherently divisive" which imho is the key to understanding much about the human condition. Once within the tent we may come to realize that overthinking isn't the solution, but rather the obstacle to overcome. I now tend to see JK books (and similar writings) as a kind of circus act which draws us over thinkers in to the tent. And so JK books can be quite inviting to philosopher peeps like us, as we tend to be looking for complex, sophisticated, mysterious things to analyze. Such an prolific process suggests that what is being discussed is some complex, sophisticated, mysterious thing one has to analyze, dissect, take apart piece by piece etc. If true, this premise is somewhat undermined by the process of writing many books (or forum posts) on the subject. Yes, I think what JK is referring to is not something one understands, but something one experiences. I take this to mean that there is a world of difference between understanding the theory that all is one, and experiencing the fact. A process of digging through vast mountains of unnecessary complexity to find the often quite simple wisdom hiding at the bottom. To me, that's what philosophy is largely about. I find it quite interesting that all of JK's books put together are actually not as useful as these three simple words. ![]() It doesn't really matter what we're thinking, thinking is thinking. That is, thinking shifts our focus away from the present moment where truth resides. However, it's possible that thinking is not the cure, but rather the "disease". ![]() JK can be very appealing to people like us because he gives us a million things to think about. Such exercises are likely more useful than doing what I did in my youth, reading every JK book 19 times in an attempt to "figure it out". Simple mechanical exercises can train our minds to shift focus on to the present moment. Religions, philosophies and ideologies typically try to capture truth in some collection of ideas, but by doing so they kill it, because truth is not an object one can possess, just as one can not capture a breeze blowing by.Īt this point in my life I probably disagree with JK that there is no path. I understand "truth" to be a living thing, reality in the present moment. I think I should leave JK to explain what he meant by this. It's cool to see how many of us are already interested in his work. Yea, a Krishnamurti thread, thanks for that. What does Jiddu Krishnamurti mean when he said: "Truth is a pathless land"? - Posty McPostface ![]()
