Support Lorenzo on Patreon.com PROGRAM NOTES: Date this lecture was recorded: Guest speaker: J. Krishnamurti Today I am going to replay a recording of J. Krishnamurti that I first played here in the salon in January of 2009. A lot has happened since then, but I haven't noticed any overall change for the better in the way we humans interact with one another. My thought is that it may be worth our time to have another listen to these words of wisdom. [The following quotations are by J. Krishnamurti in today's podcast.] “Give your heart and your mind with every thing that you have to find out a way of living differently.” “We are talking about a revolution, not physical, but a psychological revolution in which there is no, at the depth, conformity. … Conformity exists when there is comparison. For a mind to be totally free from comparison, that is to observe your whole history which is embedded in you.” “What’s your answer to this question that human beings have lived this way for millennia upon millennia, why haven’t they changed? . . . Why don’t you, if you’re at all serious in this matter, why don’t you ask yourself that question? Why am I, a human being who has been through all of this, why haven’t I changed?” “And when observed through history, through our life, all that hope and faith have no meaning at all, because what is important is what we are, actually what we are, not what we think we are, or what we think we should be, but actually what is.” J.

0:12.0	Greetings from Cyberdelic Space
0:19.0	This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.
0:23.6	And today I'm going to replay a recording of J. Krishna-Murdy that I first played here in the salon in January of 2009.
0:32.6	Well, a lot's happened since then, but I really haven't noticed any overall change, for the better at least, in the way that we humans continue to interact with one another.
0:44.9	My thought is that it may be worth our time to have another listen to what Krishna-Murti suggests that we do about this situation we're in.
0:56.6	Now, I could just direct you back to that old podcast. However, after re-listening to it, well, I think it's just too cluttered with my own
1:03.0	commentary, and I think that that detracts from Krishnamurti's important message. I also believe that
1:10.5	the most important commentary on this talk
1:13.1	is going to be the one that your own inner voice will be saying to you as we listen right now.
1:19.9	Now, to remind you of the high regard in which Christian Merti's ideas have been held,
1:25.3	I'm first going to play a brief introduction of him from a recording on his
1:29.0	website. And following that, I'll play a talk of his that was given, well, sometime late last century.
1:35.5	And if you find him as fascinating as I do, well, then I suggest that you go to jchishnamurdy.org,
1:42.1	where you will find free text and audio versions of many of his talks.
1:47.3	Throughout history, rare individuals have broken with tradition.
1:52.3	Socrates, Einstein, Martin Luther, the great revolutionary Jesus Christ, Freud, the Buddha.
2:02.8	They had the courage and insight to see themselves and the world around them in a completely new way.
2:10.7	And what they saw changed the world forever.
