Krishnamurti on Sensation

‘We live by the senses, by sensation, and it is only when thought creates the image out of sensation that all the complexities of desire arise.’  This week’s episode on Sensation has four sections. The first extract (2:29) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk in Saanen 1966, titled: Our Lives Are Based on Sensation and Desire. The second extract (13:53) is from the eighth talk in Ojai 1949, titled: Ideas Are the Result of Sensation. The third extract (32:59) is from Krishnamurti’s third talk in Saanen 1976, titled: Total Sensation. The final extract in this episode (49:46) is from a direct recording by Krishnamurti in Ojai 1983, titled: A Spring Morning. Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast is compiled from carefully chosen extracts from the archives, representing Krishnamurti’s different approaches to many of the fundamental issues and questions we all face in our lives. This week’s theme is Sensation. Upcoming themes are Words and language, Conformity and Urgency.
