Challenging the idea that struggle and conflict are a necessary part of life, J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan Anderson explore a different way of living. To start at the beginning of this 18-part dialogue on consciousness, spirituality and navigating life with J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson: https://youtu.be/rcn0gXWv9UU This time on Freedom from the Known, J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson discuss: - What it truly means to live and face the profound mystery of death - Discovering the meaning of existence through awareness of the present moment - Ways that people attempt to escape from the monotony of daily routine - How to meet the ‘battle of life’ with clarity and compassion - The highest form of education: teaching that there is a way of living without conflict - Being aware of the correct uses of thought and knowledge - The destructive, negative energy that is created through conflict and battle - Considering how love can exist in a world filled with inner and outer battle - Digging deeper into the reality of consciousness, beyond definitions “If you could, as a professor, teacher, parent, point this out, the impracticality of the way we are living, the destructiveness of it, the utter indifference to the earth. We are destroying everything we touch. And, to point out a way of living in which there’s no conflict. That seems to me is the function of the highest form of education.” – J. Krishnamurti This talk was originally recorded in 1974 at San Diego State University and curated by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America About J. Krishnamurti: For nearly six decades until his passing in 1986 at the age of ninety, Jiddu Krishnamurti traversed the globe, delivering spontaneous and captivating discourses to large audiences. Krishnamurti assumed the role of an investigator rather than an authority figure, encouraging individuals to question assumptions and explore the depths of their consciousness. His extensive body of work, estimated at over 100 million words, spans more than six decades of relentless inquiry and dialogue. His teachings, compiled in numerous books and translated into multiple languages, continue to inspire seekers worldwide, inviting them to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding. J. Krishnamurti’s legacy endures as a guiding light, offering timeless wisdom for those who dare to challenge conventional thinking and explore the complexities of existence. About Dr. Allan W. Anderson: Dr. Allan Anderson was a poet, author, Professor Emeritus, beloved teacher, scholar of the Oracular Tradition, and a gifted religious linguist. He helped to form the Department of Religious Studies at San Diego State College in 1969. Dr. Anderson later became chair of that department, specializing in Eastern Religions, until his retirement in 1985. ================ J.
