Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought Brockwood Park and Gstaad 1975, Conversations with David Bohm 9/12: Is There in the Brain Anything Untouched by Culture? Can there be a total perception which completely heals the brain? What benefit has culture? Does speech come before thought? Is it possible to say something without the operation of thought? Is there in the brain anything untouched by culture? Is attention a conscious process? Is love the factor of profound change? You explain all this, and you say that whatever the damaged brain – which is the result of thought and tradition and all the rest of it – whatever it does will produce further damage. So, because you point it out, I realise that. That is the first necessity – I realise it. Then, after I’ve realised it, you talk to me at a depth which thought has not touched. You planted a seed. - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust.
