Bøger af J. Krishnamurti

Freedom from the Known is a perfect introduction to the works of Krishnamurti, as well as a source of wisdom and inspiration the reader will turn to time and time again. It looks inward to examine the nature of the self, and outward to show how society can be changed for the better. In this classic work, Krishnamurti demonstrates how people can free themselves, radically and immediately, from the tyranny of the expected. By first changing themselves, individuals can then change the structures of their relationships, and eventually the whole structure of society.

Krisnamurti examines culture, education, religion, politics, and tradition as well as the ambition, greed, envy, and lust for power that he believes are deteriorating factos in human society.

This book features excerpts on the titles theme from Krishnamurtis talks and discussions held between 1933 and 1967. They have proven helpful in dialogues and for use in high school and college classrooms. There are talks on marriage, love, relationship, and sex. Krishnamurti states, sex becomes an extraordinary, difficult, and complex problem so long as you do not understand the mind. Krishnamurti asks the reader to investigate essential questions: How can I live with another without conflict? Why are relationships difficult? What is awareness in relationship? Do I really know what love is? What does it mean to learn in a relationship? What is the role of thought and memory in relating to another? There is no escape from relationship. In that relationship, which is the mirror in which we can see ourselves, we can discover what we are, our reactions, our prejudices, our fears, depression, anxieties, loneliness, sorrow, pain, grief. We can also discover whether we love or there is no such thing as love. So, we will examine this question of relationship because that is the basis of love. -J. Krishnamurti Madras, India, 1982 Why does the mind think about sex at all? Why? Why has it become a central issue in your life? Sex has become an extraordinary, difficult, and complex problem so long as you do not understand the mind, which thinks about the problem. The act itself can never be a problem but thought about the act creates the problem. -J. Krishnamurti, The First and Last Freedom
