Krishnamurti on Illusion

‘When the mind sees thought is the creator of illusion, you have an insight into the whole nature of illusion. It is that insight that dissolves all illusions.’ This week’s episode on Illusion has three sections. The first extract (2:36) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Saanen 1979, titled: Security in Illusion. The second extract (37:56) is from the second question and answer meeting in Ojai 1980, titled: Freedom From Any Form of Illusion. The final extract in this episode (58:55) is from Krishnamurti’s seventh talk in Saanen 1963, titled: A Brain Without Illusion or Fear.
