Listening to Krishnamurti interviews online...
Some of his points make sense but others do not. He sounds a lot like the entire Jesus / protestant ethic - about life is suffering and suffering cannot be improved upon. A bit depressing for me. On the other hand he has the whole Hindu - do the right thing irrespective of the result thing. No consideration for the moment of clarity - epiphanies. All knowledge is incomplete and so irrelevant. We cannot do anything for the future of the mankind? Thoughts are irrelevant. No change can come through thought alone. What is one to do?
He makes the point that no revolution has changed the human condition in general. But aren't specific changes better than nothing?
The mind is impersonal and does not reside in the individual. One needs to step out of the self to access the mind. He touches on the whole observer is the observed bit... very quantum physics-y.
Attention is the contact between the mind and the brain. When the self is gone, there is energy allowing attention.
I'll have to think about that.
