Identification is dangerous, so we all must remember this very important point

[@drivindevil]

In real very little things are needed but in our mind we make thing important to feel secure, identified, noticed. Thank you Sir!

[@afro208]

All these people with social media profiles filled with 'identifications' need to watch this.

[@grahaminglis4242]

The ambiguity regarding the uptake of attachments necessary for physical security on the one hand and the slip over into the psychological field resulting in the architecture of the psyche (me) on the other hand happens within the conditioning that pressures you and I to become someone special unto ourselves and worthy of praise from the wider influence of family and society that impels us to conform with its norms and so-called aspirations. This happens around the verbs - ‘to be’ and ‘not to be’ guided by the principles of reward and punishment. So the subtle pressure of conditioning is the psychological danger that goes undetected along with attachments.

[@Ludifant]

I like that, constant sublte pressure can be a tremendous force over time. It´s what makes sailboats go. Likewise we are propelled by the winds of society :)

[@theliberatedplanet]

Adding that conditioning doesn't even have to be subtle anymore for it to work

[@pradeepprad]

[@ernestorodriguez7397]

It saddens me to observe the way people around my environment act now. Before K I was lost and confused about everything. Most people I know are so busy climbing the ladder that they don t even know that they are causing so much grief based on self interest. They are my reflection and I do not wish to be that anymore! Although I m a bit frightening to stand alone I m moving forward.

[@Naranja1792]

""sensations are natural. ..... Where there is no identification there is no centre. ..... So you are discovering that any form of identification Not only with the senses..with the family with the nation..with ideas with conclusions and so on..is the beginning of narrowing down this vast energy and limiting itself..therefore..resisting the vast movement of life. ....... That identification is the movement of narrowing that vast energy into a narrow channel. .... So.. Can you observe your senses without any identification?."" So many thanks..J.K❤️❤️❤️

Vipassana is exactly this … observing sensations with equanimity … with the knowledge of its fleeting / impermanent nature ( Anitya) …

But this is not that.

[@RohitSharma-ho2zy]

Not at all

[@KINGJUNAID555]

Don't Misguide.

[@VittoShulman]

Wrong!!! Vipassana is "seeing reality as it is". Vipassana is observing all fenomina, all reality and seeing it as it is. Observing feelings is vedana-nupasana. You should go back to your teacher and seek clarification.

[@sunfire65ph]

Thanks for uploading

[@CanonOfArun]

One of the clearest and concrete explanations of thought identifying unnecessarily with sensations. He seems to suggest it makes sense for this identification to happen with physical objects (food, clothing, shelter, personal property); but doesn’t make sense with experiences. I get it, but I don’t . As he says at the end, when one discovers this for oneself, that’s when it’s soteriological.

[@fatoufrancescambow5876]

Wonderful. Thank you so much

[@emaho8210]

Thank you 🙏🏻 💕

[@sylviagung1007]

"my" mind identifies the self with anything ceases observation. I am a Christian/ I am a Buddhist/ I belong to this or that nation, is quite obvious. But identifying with sensation into a groove of a particular sense, directed by habits, is it obvious? Do I know I have obvious habits that are known by others or hidden habits that others don't really notice easily about...? ... Maybe this is one part of the reason that I have to watch the beginning of my thought -- when the thought arises.... A fraction of nanosecond .... Can I catch it? Sure I can. If K did it or Buddha or Jesus did it, I can do, too! There is an enormous possibility, and that possibility is where K delved into, all his life, to help man into his absolute freedom.

[@vineetverma546]

It seems almost impossible to reach his level of seriousness. we just casually listen

[@chandanapathirage206]

[@sylviagung1007]

@@vineetverma546 K said, "The problem a person cannot understand the self is because he comes to understand himself with the eyes of the past. I don't know what the "eyes of the past" meant to be. But I think it is about anything, good or bad or silly, that can fill his resume and the supporting ideas behind each item traditionally, socially, mentally, psychologically, mechanically ... in the background, etc., which included also is rpride, or depression or self pity and so on...,. Understanding oneself is the clue, as K said, "If you know how to get to the beginning of the thought, the other is already there," it's not me then but is "the other doing it ...? Nano second itself is the other ...? Jesus words come to mind: "My yoke is light to carry and easy to handle." What I need to do is setting the right intention and persevere....

That is the “point”. Ask no questions get no lies. It takes no time to get the point, you are not the point or the Moon!? That’s the point. The journey Never ends “and that is the point”!?

Enjoy the journey Breathe is taking while eating - breakfasts, Remembering You are not breakfast. Regards

[@ChristianCamarena]

What caught me the most about this talk was the fact that this tremendous energy of the universe is being funneled through this being and I'm stuck thinking about how secure I am and how I'm too afraid to move beyond this though process. I'm a warden of my own prison and allow myself freedom enough to go out to eat once and a while, splurge, do drugs when quite literally the power of the universe is animating my body right now. Strange what we are doing right now Would it be possible to get this full talk? it cuts off before getting real good. Could always put it up on audible too, I listened to the Bohm sessions and they were fantastic.

[@RamBabu-qb4rg]

19:28 The vast energy is obviously unlimited, unconditioned and therefore universal in nature. The significant thing is that it is centred in all living beings. Even as a human mind knows, understands this vast energy being centred in him or her just as it is centred in others, there comes an instantaneous understanding of the universality of the vast energy. The question of you and I should not occur then, though that Vast energy may be addressed as Christ, Master or Krisna. This is what the religions of the world mean. What and where lies the doubt then? Arguably, JK is also meaning the same!!

[@qal-nel]

From our childhood we were taught what meaningless sensation mean by recognizing and associating ideas to sounds and visual symbols. When you finally de-identify with sensation you’re simply pulling away your power of perception. It is absolutely easy to do. Ask yourself this question, if I was a day old baby, how would I see this? The interesting thing that will arise is that ultimately the only constants of your being is your awareness and sensation. Perception came along (taught to us when we were kids; also called conditioning) to create meaning out of what we were sensing. That is ultimately why you can understand these symbols you’re “reading”, which when presented to a day old baby will be utter nonsense. When we began to perceive things on our own, we began to form attachments to things in our physical reality based on our emotional investments in these physical things. It’s is very easy to de-identify, when you understand that your power of perception is what has given meaning to everything in your reality. Take it away and all you’re left with is nothing but awareness and sensation, just like a little baby. ❤

K misses the crucial epistemology. What he terms as a "Psychological reality" is fundamentally determimed by the political reality which constrains your thought processes. For example K only oreaches in relatively democratic liberal societies. If he were alive today I eould enquire " why don't you lecture in Saudi Arabia or in Taliban society or set up shop within a Dyesh stronghold.. He wouldn't. . So the question should be why not. ? Another time I'll answer this enquiry.

What arises in you when you hear the sound of the car is it noise desire to possess it, to my understanding this is what you are not to identify with.

[@peterbosma7246]

Hello Testa, Is that you? That Nickname? Is there a you, who indentifies with that name? If I say "What a lousy, studid nickname...!" Are you then hurt? Do you take that person-al? We humans have learned to identify to all sorts of things to say this is me, Peter, a ... dude, and that is MY car etc. etc. You understand what I mean with identifying yourself to materialistic things, I am sure. But we do this also to sensualities. For instance: If you hear a sound, you then likely THINK; "that's is ME hearing a sound, my body hears it, MY ears are hearing this...." J Krishanmurti now asks us: Is it possible that there is an observation, a sound that is observed (or maybe a feeling), WITHOUT this me, this 'person' , the EGO doing the observation? Is that possible? Is it possible for there just to be a sound? That is for you and me to research....

Live sansations without building an "I", an "ego", a "person" (which in etimology means "mask") a character of a novel or a movie, if you prefer, that is fiction, illusion. What I like or dislike. What is good or wrong in a particular, ideological, political, theological perspective. I like chocolate icecream, not hazelnut one so I have a chocolate personality and I gather with the others that love chocolate and I dress like a chocolate. That's very USA way of thinking. I like to do sex with persons of my same sex, so I AM homosexual, or whatever it is, and I join other homosexuals like ME, where I can feel secure. But we are all different one another. There are no two identical individuals in nature. If you like to put it in logic.
