Title: What is the nature of our consciousness?
(1st public talk at Saanen, 12th July 1981)

Points raised during video showing:

¨ If robots and computers can do all that human beings can, what is to become of man as a social entity?

¨ How shall a human being, who is actually the rest of mankind, face this crisis, this turning point? Can you look at yourself not as a separate human being but as actually the rest of mankind?

¨ We have to examine the whole of thought because it is responsible for the deeper as well as superficial layers of consciousness.

¨ Thought is limited, being a reaction of memory, so is its action limited and creating conflict?

Running Time: 73 minutes

About the speaker:

J. Krishnamurti was born in India in 1895 and died in the United States in 1986. He spoke throughout his life in many parts of the world to large audiences as well as with numerous individuals, including writers, scientists, philosophers and educators. Asked to describe what lay at the heart of his teaching, he said,

"Truth is a pathless land. Man cannot come to it through any organisation, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, nor through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection..."



Krishnamurti was concerned with all humanity and stated repeatedly that he held no nationality or belief and belonged to no particular group or culture. In the latter part of his life, he travelled mainly between the schools he had founded in India, Britain and the United States, schools that educate for the total understanding of man and the art of living. He stressed that only this profound understanding can create a new generation that will live in peace.
