Jiddu Krishnamurti – A Wholly Different Way of LivingQuote:At a time of unprecedented outer change in the political and social spheres, is there a fundamental inner change that is demanded of each one of us? In the eighteen dialogues with Professor Allan W Anderson, Emeritus Professor of Religious Studies at San Diego State University. J. Krishnamurti indicates that pinning our hopes on organized religion, science, political ideology or the market economy not only fails to address basic human problems but actually creates them. They way out of our difficulties, Krishnamurti states, can only start in the mind of each one of us, in an awareness of the way we actually perceive life, ourselves and others. Professor Anderson, throughout these dialogues, refers to many passages of Western and Eastern religious scriptures that he believes have been misunderstood and which in fact support Krishnamurti’s statements. The dialogues, reproduced in an edited and slightly abridged version in this book, took place at San diego State University from 18 to 28 February 1974.1st Conversation – Knowledge And Transformation2nd Conversation – Knowledge And Human Relationships3rd Conversation – Responsibility4th Conversation – Responsibility And Relationship5th Conversation – Order6th Conversation – Fear7th Conversation – Desire8th Conversation – Pleasure9th Conversation – Inward Or True Beauty10th Conversation – The Art Of Listening11th Conversation – The Nature Of Hurt12th Conversation – Love And Pleasure13th Conversation – A Different Way Of Life14th Conversation – Death15th Conversation – Religion And Authority 116th Conversation – Religion And Authority 217th Conversation – Meditation 118th Conversation – Meditation 2 Open for everyoneNumber of pages: 294Year of publication: 1991Url: https://www.amazon.com/Wholly-Different-Way-Living-ebook/dp/…Amazon rating: 3.8 out of 5 stars (5 reviews)Amazon 5 star review wrote:This is actually the transcribed dialogue between Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson. There were 18 one hour conversations between the two in 1974. Once you read a little the awkwardness of reading a conversation slips into the background of thought. These conversations get at the heart of Krishnamurti’s teachings. Krishnamurti’s teachings are not for the faint of heart. He will challenge every belief, regardless of your culture or ethnicity. Krishnamurti is not a guru, and even in death refuses that position. He stresses that you must become your own guru and know yourself. He points to living a life of choice-less awareness by becoming aware of our thoughts, and how our thoughts create psychological pain, separation and isolation. By becoming aware of our thoughts we may put an end to the human cycle of sleep walking through life.What you will not find in this book is new age sprirituality. You will not find a way. You will be presented with the most challenging quest of your life, to know yourself.May you find the ONE LIFE, LOVE, peace and prosperity,Aeon
