Krishnamurti: Truth, Actuality, and the Limits of Thought Brockwood Park and Gstaad 1975, Conversations with David Bohm 12/12: Can the Brain Free Itself From All Self-Delusion? Thought and the brain. Can the brain free itself from all self-delusion? Why has the self become important? Can there be only sensation, thought, and no desire? Can desire - which brings illusion, self-deception and all the complications of changing desires – can the root of desire be dissipated? What prevents one from having a real insight? That is, seeing the truth of desire and therefore end it. Is it that we have never asked this question? When there is no desire whatsoever then there is a total revolution, and that will affect the consciousness of man. Is there a movement, an action that keeps the brain pure, uncontaminated? - The Krishnamurti Collection is an official podcast by Krishnamurti Foundation Trust. Across this wide selection of events, Krishnamurti explores fundamental questions of human existence that touch our daily lives and relationships. Each episode of the podcast features a full-length Krishnamurti recording from the Foundation’s archives, with a new series released every week. Krishnamurti is widely regarded as one of the greatest philosophers and teachers of all time. For seven decades, he spoke to large audiences around the world, as well as with notable individuals and small groups. Krishnamurti stressed that ‘There is hope in humanity, not in society, not in systems, not in organised religious systems, but in you and in me.’ Established by Krishnamurti in 1968, Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charity based at Brockwood Park in the UK, which is also home to The Krishnamurti Centre and Brockwood Park School.
