J. Krishnamurti - Santa Monica 1972 - Public Talk 1 - To act instantly is to see actually ‘what is’

Santa Monica 1972 - Public Talk 1 - To act instantly is to see actually ‘what is’
Summary:
Action is always in the present, not tomorrow or in some distant future - action means now.
Your mind is my mind, your sorrow is my sorrow. There is no division in sorrow, there is no division in love.
Can you put away from your mind the idea that you have to learn to be aware?
Q: When have you experienced joy?
Q: What does it take to snap from adaptive conditional behaviour to spontaneity?
Q: If you throw a stone into the water, do the ripples stop?
Q: What’s wrong with identifying with the Godself?
Q: Is the speaker aware of the contradiction between his words, his message and his life, what he is doing, the medium of his message?
Q: How do I go about being aware of myself?

[@garypuckettmuse]

"the content makes up the consciousness". this is a really important point. only after one has emptied the contents of their consciousness can one get past the barrier of consciousness to pure awareness. we sense that awareness is just behind consciousness but it's obscured by the consciousness which only exists to hold it's own contents. this is real -- some may call it the void or emptiness, some may call it god, some may call it enlightenment or stillness or being outside of space/time but all fingers are pointing at the same moon. good luck everyone.

Can the mind look at this me without any distortion. Without any image, conclusion, formula. That is meditation.

[@Kamabushi999]

This man destroys his very consistent point of “ can we change “ by his pointed explanations of how we are all conditioned and what an insurmountable effort it would be to change. Every life that comes out if this world would have to change in their lifetime how hard is that if not impossible. Every life every teenager has to change good luck with that. We can better ourselves up to a point but there will always be a motive. The world is the way it is suppose to he can we change ? he always asks. we can hope.... but its all words. Tame your ego and live the best you can.,

[@8brightside8]

Yes. Live, do, and be the best you can.

[@DH-sx2tt]

Lose yourself, find yourself. Over and over.

[@emendatus1]

Just watch. Through watching you will see the ME with all its ugly content. And instantly you will empty all of the content of your mind. Because you will see how ugly, bad this content is and it is innumarable. It was gathered during thousands years. The only way is to empty it completely.

[@missionaryentertains]

@Jake ... - Powerful realization of your statement... this is exactly the conversation I need to listen to... "there is no separation from the inner & the outer... they are both one movement... the outer is a representation of the inner..." so True

[@jeanettemoreno2573]

The point isn't to "tame" your ego, it's to get rid of it completely. Taming is just another form of suppression and suppression is just another form of ignorance. To say that something is impossible, is just another way of giving yourself permission to continue being ignorant because it's easier than facing yourself. It's a lifelong commitment but not in the sense of ideals or morality because, again, that's just you putting an image to the action. His deep commitment comes from a place of love, he loves this life and everything/everyone in it, regardless of what he may think of them. He treats everything and everyone with such care in every act of daily life, in his words, in the way he lives life because he loves deeply. That's where his commitment comes from and that is exactly what love is. When you truly learn to love, you'll see that, that's all there is in life and that's when it really hits you. I'm not saying this to try to argue or anything, I just wanted to share what I've found for myself.

[@Sushilala33]

The self is an illusion. To acknowledge the throwness of being is to realise how little control we had this whole time. As the self diminishes into oblivion, the value of novelty and uncertainty by nature follows. These 2 values alone allow you to see things for the infinitesimally limited scope that we have and welcome new energy into our soul. This is why psychedelics can get you half the way and allow you to experience a strong albeit temporary ego death, a jump start if you wil, but without the perennial understanding and discipline accompanying these realisations one can end up deluded without a direction. Best of luck to all on this journey xo.

What it means to be free from the me: If you suddenly discover something beautiful, something like a mountain, a flower, a bird, a butterfly - there are so many beautiful things in this world - there is, for a moment, that sensation of awe, when that thing completely absorbs you. In that moment you don't feel anything about yourself, that is, a total dissolution of the me. I wish you that this moment lasts forever. If you never experienced a sensation of awe, you may try a moment of pure love. If you had neither a sensation of awe nor a moment of pure love, you should continue to listen to J.K.

[@88Blazehaze]

The human being is not in this world to become a slave of policy’s or possessions.

It is not hard at all. You listen to him wrongly. Through your ME, your mind. When you hear something, you immediately try to compare it with what you know already, according to your likes or dislikes etc. What he says bounces from the imregnable wall of your mind, self, me.

🎯Precisely. And, ironically, the OP doesn’t “get” K’s message either, not with that separatist (nationalist/tribal/groupie) thinking (which K often spoke about as being a serious hindrance to realizing who one truly is and definitely keeps one from being able to love anyone, including themselves).
