Gábor Hényel | Jiddu Krishnamurti - This is not an entertainment @H84Gabor | Uploaded November 2014 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
"This is not an entertainment. It's not an intellectual feast or an intellectual stimulation, or some kind of romantic, sentimental nonsense." ... "I think we ought to go TOGETHER into these matters; not that you listen and the speaker talks but TOGETHER." ... "Listen very carefully not only to what is being said, but also to our own reactions to what is being said. To our reaction of approval or disapproval, to our sense of restrictions, to our resistances, to our fears and to all the complexity of our reactions TO ANY FORM OF STIMULATION." ... "We are very circumscribed and limited. Our brains have been programmed and conditioned, and we are so limited that most of us are unaware of this. We are conditioned linguistically. We are conditioned, shaped, moulded by the environment, by tradition, by religion, BY THE SOLITUDE OF OUR OWN ILLUSIONS, OUR OWN IMAGINATONS, THE SOLITUDE OF OUR OWN ASPIRATIONS." ... "WE ARE SO CONCERNED WITH OURSELVES, WITH OUR SUCCESS, WITH OUR MISERIES and all the turmoil of one's own limited life - the sorrow, the pain, the anxiety, the various forms of reactions which arise from our prejudices, our bias, our tendencies. All this conditions our brain, and so we never have the AWARENESS OF THE WHOLE LIFE, the whole of existence which is vast, immeasurable and tremendously potent." ... "Unless we break through all this conditioning we'll go on as we've been going on for thousands of years. Violence will go on, corruption, EACH ONE SEEKING HIS OWN FULFILLMENT AND PURSUING HIS OWN AMBITIONS, ISOLATED; and where there is isolation THERE MUST BE CONFLICT."
