1. Thought comes 2. Watch 3. Watch the reaction 4. Out of watching, comes insight 5. Then action comes spontaneously 6. This action is total.

Memory is mostly unconscious too, so we wouldn't even know if we were taking action based on memory or not? Or are you just talking about conscious memory? Can we ever escape our conditioning fully? When the environment we live in is the very conditions that we are trying to escape?

[@Cecil_Augus]

​@@pavankumar-ew3lhWhy worry about what he means by God? Isn't God a creation of self, a concept made by every individual according to his/her experience? I can accept the words and I can thank God for sending such a soul, yet I can also accept that God is a made-up concept. The message goes beyond these wordings, don't fall prey to them. Maybe God could be identified with Freedom and in this case then, well, K says a lot about God.

Correct me if I am wrong. Meditation, is all there is in life, Observing, Looking, and watching, with no comment whatsoever, being attentive with all our senses to what is happening, that is all there is.

[@codelicious6590]

There is also compassion/love? Not compassion or love to possess or feel better, but effortless love which flows out, no?

[@Cecil_Augus]

The thing is, this is not about reasoning and comparing arguments. It's about investigating oneself thoroughly so one understand it's feelings, actions, desires, thoughts and so on. Why point that meditation could be the only thing in life? Or meditation alongside compassion? Do you even fully comprehend what those words mean? That's crucial, what are we, what is that that language points to, because language is not a reality in itself, these are symbols, attempts to communicate universally, but they can communicate falsehood and confusion too. So beyond language, before it, what are we?

[@debashritmishra2493]

You are wrong. Because you said Correct me if I am wrong. The truth is choiceless, Nirvikalpa. Or so I have heard.

[@mingoia2132]

He's saying there is another intelligence that's available for the human to experience it without a center

[@samarthachaitanya2500]

The parent of the THOUGHT is memory. Memory derived out of knowledge, past, time. Yet, thought is limited created the individual in limited boundary and not in TOTALITY. TRUTH or FACT is not narrow or limited like thought, but unlimited. If you see that clearly INSIGHT( deep within. It isn't memory or past knowledge) the limitedness vanish and new way of action emerges spontaneously and at once. Brain cells operates in totality beyond one's individuality( which is limited by limited or narrow memory).

[@sugarfree1894]

Then 'truth' born of insight must also be not of thought. If it is not knowing 'truth' through what it means, through thought connected to something else, more than likely the past - perhaps the idea of the future (also, no doubt, predicated on memory), then truth and thought are not the same thing. So what is truth? aha, I carried on listening and found out!

Can you pls give us the link for the discussion that took place after this. I want to hear from K that point where there is an action not based on thought.

[@KFoundation]

For this and any other extracts, you can look it up yourself by searching for the full talk using the information in the video description. In this case, simply search for 'Saanen 1978 Talk 2' (which is the talk before this) either directly on KZbin or Google. If you learn this method you won't need to ask for the link again. Hope this helps.

[@lalalavera]

Go with got,follow your heart,listen to the voice inside,there are same things,but there is one thing, what about experiences?,i mean when we are facing a situation which we had same in the past and we know it can bring bad result because we had same experience in past and it's wrong so here should we act without thinking about the experience?

[@Ying-yang6969]

Make a decision and watch yourself act on it, do it partially. No attachment.

K. uses thoughts to deliver his message and his message is therefore linked with the past, so not clear…unless it is assumed that not all thoughts are unclear

No there is not. What you said also thought

[@saracimino158]

there is smthing I cant understand, if he really invites us to leave the thought for having a real connection with the insight, and so, to leave the tought based on the memory , in other way to act without the memory, where is the importance of experiences registred by the mind? if I know, with my past sofference, that the fire burns and can hurt me, i will not come closer to fire...

Thought is limited what that mean can someone explain with example?

[@jorgegarciapla6880]

Thought is nothing other than fragmentation, the separation between independent things. That is to say, thought is consciousness, that which is known, 100%. There is no known beyond thought; consciousness is thought (this way of looking at consciousness, so shocking, is something that Krishnamurti surprises us with today). Thought is limited because each thing or idea it embraces does not exist as such, as "a whole in itself". Therefore, no matter how deep it goes, what it reaches is just another fragment. Thought is always a closed room: its analysis shows very well what an electron is like, but that electron only materializes when the observer (the scientist with his instrument) "detects" it. There is no observer disconnected, independent, from the observed; there is no quantum physicist without the electron, they are indissoluble. If one has no reason to exist without the other, it is the same as saying that none of them is an entity in itself. That is to say, the objects and subjects that compose the field of thought are simple cuttings of an undivided totality. Quantum experiments are an example of what you ask. On a more everyday level, when you say "I used to be more serious than I am now", that self of the present does not exist disconnected from the other of the past, they are the object and the subject, the observer and the observed, and both are the same. They do not exist as such, they are only a cutout, a simple intellective model. However, the life we live does not take into account at all the insubstantiality of the individual, of the "I". Therefore, all we live is conflict, contradiction, duality.

[@ladmed1740]

Thought is based on knowledge, experience and memory. All of those are limited so thought is limited. How are they limited? Well, a new born baby which we all once were, have to experience life, then we store it as knowledge for future use, but some things we forget, other we memorise. And also what about all the other things we haven't experienced and stored for knowledge, this incompleteness means it's limited, there's always more, no matter how much we add. So thought is limited compared to the limitless which is whole and can't be subtracted nor added to.

[@user-yt4qi6in9o]

thoughts are limited they are just words. But the truth is beyond thought

[@puduhari1]

Isn’t insight thought as well?

[@nikhilpawar8716]

The difference is how conscious the thought is, one can have thoughts in the sub conscious mind and can act towards that thought On the contrary if one is aware about the thought, the thought that is born in this moment, right now, One gains an insight into the very functioning of this mind which brings about an insight or depth to your perception.

[@maxmacful]

Action without thought= animals, robots.....humans can't do action without thought, atleast that's what my conditioned brain tells me.🤯

[@kforest2745]

An action not based on thought is impulsive. Also includes wild, as a synonym. That’s incorrect though. Wild is highly capable whereas impulse isn’t. Where wild is self preservation impulse is self destruction. Requires practice. And modern day slaves aren’t allowed that for state of monopoly.

[@elvuelodelaguila.5532]

An action not based on thought is not imposible and it is not impulsive. it comes from being alive and aware, it comes from total observation of everything. But if you have been conditioned by education there is no total observation.

Freedom is not attainable unless one departs from unified consciousness, the all, source or god if you call it that. This is suicide because there is only the all. You must rip away from Krishna Buddha Allah Christ entirely to be free. The god of men must be recognized as a devil. Shred him to pieces. Die knowing you have become not a coward.
