J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 3 with Buddhist Scholars - Does free will exist?

J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 3 with Buddhist Scholars - Does free will exist?
Summary:
We say free will exists because we can choose between this and that. Apart from material things, why is there choice? Is there an action in which there is no effort of will at all and therefore no choice?
Why does thought identify with sensations? Is there duality in identification?
How did thought begin in me? Was it handed down by my parents, by education, by environment, by the past? Does the word create the thought or thought creates words?
Why does thought enter into action? Is there an action which is complete, total, whole, not partial?
Can you see someone as a whole being? Then there is love.

The joy of Bohm accessing the J's insight at 38:00 is unpayable.

[@stubblecpville]

Agreed 100 percent. He really knows how to clear it all up for everyone. His ability to listen and perceive is something else.

[@profie24]

This brings me to the question of whether a physicist has learned to inquire nature and can apply this to questions of life as well. Whereas a "mere" scholar relies only on his memory and therefore finds it immensely difficult to inquire and really think? Is this so and if so, what can we do about it? Sorry I also got a little conditioned XD

[@kooroshrostami27]

Bohm is so profound when he comments, he virtually breathes clarity.

[@annonyymous]

that buddhist scholar seems so happy whenever he gave his conclusion or whatever he has been taught, but he never tries to listen and inquire into himself. All his identifications with his knowledge preventing his mind too see any damn thing into himself.

The scholar is bright example how much harm one can introduce to himself by just blindly following scriptures and sacred books. During the discussion it became obvious that if something is NOT written by somebody somewhere he cannot think on his own. But Dr. Bohm is on totally different level.

[@jimmybolton8473]

Agreed

[@ManuLuck82]

If everything is an illusion given and created by and upon the act of identification, then there is no real harm at all, there is only and merely superficial movement perceived by our human senses.

[@sivayanama9257]

Just to be clear, can oneself think on his own without any inputs rather thro books or scriptures or any form? So thinking is based on what we perceive-memory. Absolute knowledge isn't the human thing. We acquired knowledge since it is being informed thro any medium or by nature.

[@mikeq5807]

Your idea is sound. However, I do not see Alan Watts as dependent upon something other than himself to understand life. He does quote richly, but that, as I see it, is a function of his erudition for the purpose of conveying his overall message, which I find contributes to what he is saying as a whole. I am the first to say that one should know from within himself. What is received from the outward must filter through our meditation, our introspection. We must evaluate what we hear against our own experiences indeed.

[@mikeq5807]

@@sivayanama9257 You make a point worth giving attention to. We take in through our senses, evaluate (which is the meditative process) and our inner wisdom sifts through whatever is imported into the mind. It is source connecting with source. We import from the outward constantly, through people, circumstances, nature and anything else. What most people do is that they import into their mind, never musefully going deeper. They stay at the surface of life, and call what has been received knowledge. These are individuals who quote like parrots and follow like sheep. Most of the people on the planet fall into this category, thinking they know when in fact they know nothing. The only way you can know is through your own insights and guidance which arise out of your depths, which you can access only through conscious, introspective meditation, source through the other connecting with source within you.

The best part one can learn here is that mind is full of impressions and if you're looking for nirvana/enlightenment, it will happen immediately in that moment. The Buddhist scholar is full of thoughts (with due respect, all good Buddha's teaching), still one can not learn by reading scriptures. To know yourself, you've to experience it. Answers to any question will come from within. JK is igniting that fire and showing us the way. Dropping the self will make you reach to your core self, which is whole (universe). No words, Amazing. Oh at last I found a thought without a word :)

[@kooroshrostami27]

To me he seems full of crude beliefs. He claims that the mental faculty is outside the physical faculty, which is obsolete dualistic thinking and also he denies that we haved evolved from monkeys. Now I am not saying we derive from monkeys or we don't, we don't definitely know (though it's very probable). But the scholars seems to have a strong opinion against it, which means that he is deluded by prejudice and doesn't want to face the fact of not-knowing.

[@davidtanphilosophy]

What I really appreciate in this and many other K discussions is how respectful yet incisive all the participants are. It is clear that K greatly disagrees with the scholars with their insistence on comparing him to other writings before him. Nonetheless because they are truly interested in a mature intellectual "show and tell," they really want to know how K's philosophy compares to their knowledge of traditional Buddhist scriptures.

For those that are unaware, Bohm was a capable enough thinker to hold his own with Einstein, a contemporary with whom he had a friendship (even living next door to each other at one time) and many discussions. In fact, as time has gone on, it turns out in the sphere of Physics, Bohm was correct about some things that Einstein was not - not saying he was smarter or making any comparison, but pointing out that Bohm was not just intelligent, but also wise and well-rounded - he was an "expert" on diverse topics. Bohm frequented talks like this with not only K. but Hindu and Buddhist scholars, Christians, anyone with whom he felt he could learn. He is one of the greatest minds of humanity, having not just contributed thought, but many practical things that benefited humanity. Interestingly enough, he was a Marxist until the Hungarian Revolution in 1956 when he witnessed Marxism in action.

[@ManuLuck82]

He witnessed a branch of Russian "marxism-leninism" in action influenced by the dictatorship of Stalin, Marxism as philosophy and historical tendency is quite a different thing, even though indeed they have some common roots.

But the depth and clarity ( and verifiability ) is much stronger than what one got from even the wonderfully compassionate Goenka ji’s discourses. Gautama was Buddha and Jiddu ( also) a Buddha! It was incredible to hear this discussion series and hear him reach “buddhism “ ( in essence) to the Buddhist “scholars” ( by knowledge). He derived it all by himself, just as Gautama did back then!! 🙏🙏🙏

@1:01:50 Love = communion. There is no seperation,there is no division. So there is no speaker or the listener and there is no need for communication because both are one. There is no need for understanding because it is understood. One doesn't need to communicate to one's own self so when it happens between different individuals, there are no different individuals as they are one in mind and the need for communication ends so in this sense language is not needed for communication because there is no seperation between communicator and listener When different individuals are at the same level with same intensity and energy meet, there is no need for communication because there is nothing to understand and there is no seperation, they are one and need for language/communication ends. Imagine a world where each individual is at the same level in mind. All of us will be whole and only love will remain

[@Samdrub]

J. Krishnamurti himself in total confused, therefore he is in world of duality and yet he wants the absolute or ultimate answer which is non-dual. Such answer is impossible by being in world of duality. J. Krishnamurti is talking "action without will", well this is the one every human being on this planet is wanting and striking for. In order to achieve such state, one must go through theories, homeworks and practices During those journies, one has to go through "action with will" It is like someone wanted to become a surgeon. Obviously he can't preform surgery in his day one, he has to go through theories which is "action with will", once he graduates. He can perform his job without going back to his theories which is "action with will" Now he achieved the state of "action without will". Consciousness, mind, awareness, thought are all synonymous. Consciousness is not the brain, consciousness has no colors, no shapes, no forms, no smells, no sounds, no textures, no feelings, no tastes, and consciousness is neither inside nor outside or neither in between, therefore consciousness is beyond all limitations, it is beyond observer, observe and observation. Basically it is inconceivable, yet it is vivid and it is very much alive. It is similar to the sky, one can not pinpoint it. One can't pinpoint where is sky, how sky looks, what it smells, what color is it, what shape, yet one can't deny that sky don't exist. But in order to reach such state, one must go through "will or desire" in the initial level. It is like someone got strike a thorn on his foot while walking in a forest and in order to remove it, one must use another thorn.

[@manumaster1990]

nice

[@RamSamudrala]

@30:57 The answer is yes, there are actions without will, self, ego, etc. Any involuntary actions for instance, from accidents to involuntary responses. Will is about a presupposition, i.e., "I will" (in your mind at least) before taking action. An non-willed reaction (such as running away from a lion) is also a response to external stimuli. So that may not qualify in this context. But things like your heart beating faster or slower is something you do not will and you do not necessarily make happen via reactions (it can happen, but not always). Those are actions without self.

Explanation after 36:00 helps one to understand why one keep on falling in same potholes (reoccurring desires thru thoughts) again n again even after knowing they are going to hurt

[@gheorghiubogdan2418]

An aspect regarding the "recording - memory - thoughts" behaviour is that our social construct has evolved based on linguistic communication, and one tends to use linguistic thoughts to communicate, which tends to need the ego as chief of operation. Its like jiddu has to tap into the ego levels in order to communicate in such a way that we understand. So, silence and observation without judgment would bring back those qualities of consciousness needed to transcend. Also, one can use psychedelics to have a taste of what an enlighten consciousness can be like.

Everyone says ah-hah intellectually but does one actually do this oneself? Does one apply this to one’s current life and watch oneself in life? Not try to change, think good or bad or allow thought to creep it but to just watch. Can one see without the image? Does one see doing this for a reward makes it meaningless in the end? One must see their own conditioning and see the observer is the observed. See if it’s true for oneself, which takes energy, truth beyond knowledge brings energy but if one does stop short, energy is being dispelled leaving one feeling drained. Everything said is pointless unless one does the observing to see if it is true. Maybe I’m explaining it all wrong I suggest watching more videos! ✌🏽

Or is it that thought arises as a result of self preservation? Or is it that thought and fertilisation is an axiom?

[@yacovmitchenko1490]

Although it would be fair to say that we can't think or record without a body, we need to be careful, cautious. What do you mean by "I"? Am I the brain and body exclusively? Or is the body in me? Or am I only the mind? And what exactly is the mind? Just thoughts, sensations? How can you be sure that thinking and recording require a body? You see, if the body is in me, rather than I am the body exclusively, then it might be possible for me to remember without a body (at least the gross body I have now). How can you be sure that memory is the sole expression or feature of the body? We simply don't know. One can't rule out the possibility simply because it doesn't jive with mainstream science. Here's another possibility. Consider all those elements our bodies are made of. Among the many elements involved is water. Where did the water come from? Clearly from the planet, which we normally regard as outside of ourselves, or separate. Now if all our cells contain memory (not just the brain), then perhaps water has memory, or at least some rudimentary form of memory. Our bodies are stardust, so perhaps the sun itself has memory too? If so, how far back might that memory go? The point is that the locus of memory need not be confined to this little gross body; it might be spread everywhere, in differing degrees. We can't be sure. Not only that, but memory might even play a role on a sub-atomic level. Krishnamurti and the Buddhist scholar at times come across as a little overconfident in their statements.

Some things are conditioned, and others are not. Concepts exist by comparison; it is said that in a universe where everything is blue the concept of blue would not exist. The cause-and-effect relationship is perceptible because the unconditioned also exists, for example emptiness or vacuity is not the result of a cause, it is not an effect, a product, and its existence allows us to see determinism, in the same way that the silence between each musical note allows us to perceive the melody. The actions which arise from the vision of the undetermined are free actions because the undetermined has no past, it is not the result of a cause which precedes it.

The will is ego. But "free will" is a philosophical concept that has nothing to do with desire. It has to do with whether we're puppets or not, a semantic issue. In a deterministic universe, there is no free will. In a non-deterministic universe (as I believe we're in), there is, regardless of the metaphysical way of thinking about "will". When we talk about "free will", we cannot separate "free" and "will". It is one phrase that means a specific thing which is not the same as will/desire.

9:39 important correction in transcript subtitles : it is “Nirvana & Samsara” not “nirvana & sunyata” . Please note it might create lot of confusion.

jk refused all religions and buddha teaching, which is get hurt to monk, that's why monk keep silent throughout the video, dozen of Buddhist sutra came from sanskrat words which is steal from Hinduism,How did buddha come to know the truth of life through meditation? the word meditation came from where? you never accept thus truth because you're Buddhist? and hindu people won't accept buddha?this battle never ends, this is reason why jk refused to be a world teacher

@@Sunflower_729 There was no Hindu before Arabic rulers in India and no much Hinduism before British in India but Buddha was before Arbic and before British so your comment is not a valid reason just hearsay.

@@sodheymaryul4044 no but he's referring to the practises, buddhism in a sense doesn't say that they are the only way to achieve nirvana, it speaks there are other ways but this is only one way. I don't think Buddhism and Hinduism do fight with each other because, they both preach the same thing just in different perspective though I might be wrong, I haven't researched deeply into either...

54:00 I wish JK hadn't rejected what the Madame is trying to say here... She is saying that in order to bring ourselves to see the danger of identification we need to come to a point of genuine seriousness to examine and not be afraid to spare any preconceptions/assumptions/beliefs to become the subject of that intense examination. The final examination is beyond evolution or time as JK says, but the seriousness of committing to such intense examination does involve some thought & preparation which involves time.

The questioner has a point in inquiring about the origin of memory, that the information gathered by the senses is processed by the brain/mind to make sense of it all. But that does not explain the origin of the whole process. Where does it all begin? It seems to me the discussion is at this point mired in words, when the aim is to move away from words to wordless communication.
