Krishnamurti: The Ending of Time Ojai & Brockwood Park 1980, Conversations with David Bohm 3/15: Why Has Man Given Supreme Importance To Thought? Q: Is the 'ground' indifferent to mankind, as the physical universe appears to be?  How does one find out if there is something more than the merely physical? Q: Why is it that theories are necessary and useful in organising facts about matter outwardly, and yet inwardly, psychologically they are in the way, of no use at all? Seeking security for myself, for my family, for my group, for my tribe, has brought about division. Why has man given importance to thought as the supreme thing? If I accept I am irrational completely, I am rational. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
