Krishnamurti: A Religious Life Is a Life in Which the Self Is Not Malibu 1971/72, Conversations with Alain Naudé 1/7: The Circus of Man’s Struggle Why do we divide the world, the human being and the divine? When I realise that my consciousness is the consciousness of the world, and the consciousness of the world is me, whatever change takes place in me affects the whole of consciousness. Can human consciousness undergo a radical change? To find out if there is something beyond this consciousness I must understand the content of consciousness. The mind must go beyond itself. Do we realise that the observer, seeing the content, examining, analysing, looking at it all, is the content itself? If there is no thought, there is no thinker. If the observer is the observed, what is the nature of change in consciousness? Man has become accustomed to take it for granted that will is the only way to bring about change, but will is not the factor of change. Consciousness only exists when there is conflict between fragments. Radical revolution in consciousness and of consciousness takes place when there is no conflict at all. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
