Krishnamurti: To Learn About Myself Means Observing Without the Past Santa Monica 1970, Public Meetings 1/4: To Look at Violence Without the Past What is one to do in this chaotic world? What is right conduct? Seeing needs freedom from the image you have about yourself. We are violent; that is an absolute fact. How do you look at it? Do you condemn it? Do you justify it? If you can look without fragments, you look at the whole without the observer. One must observe not only at the conscious level but also at the deep recesses of the mind. Q: When the observer becomes the observed, a state of nowness exists. Q: How can we reveal ourselves to each other? Q: Why do you separate the conscious from the unconscious if you do not believe in separation? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
