Krishnamurti explains everything. (pt. 10/12)

I am always one or two videos behind when writing up these mini-articles. I am starting to grok the serious nature of Krishnamurti's observations. Before that, I was experiencing this t.v. series on the greatness of Krishnamurti as entertainment despite his saying not to do so. I was seeing him as a guru even though he told me to not fucking do that. I am starting to grow up a little bit. He is saying that all attachment is bad and the root of corruption. But I doubt that means he thought all relationships had to be corrupt. He was warning us that one cannot merely roll out of bed and fall in love. The overall environment is simply too messy. We are all ready to swallow pills if they will take away the pain. Yet, no one should want addiction. We don't want to replace one attachment with another. Observe these fricken words and neither agree nor disagree with them? We are all the same historic schmuck mind? It doesn't matter if one enjoys Tucker Carlson or Jimmy Dore. They are still very similar losers. I'm digressing into the medium. We'll continue with this train of thought in the next paragraph. Please don't fall asleep.

Krishnamurti was greatness. There was all sorts of noise pollution, yet he worked through it. The guy was around 85-years-old at that point. I remember in the first or second video he said he wanted to live at least ten more years. He got about six after that and died in 1986.

So I suppose the great balancing act is to figure out how to act correctly. I agree with this guy that it takes a lot of mental preparation before anyone is truly ready for meditation or so-called enlightenment.

Every system is apparently bogus and the antithesis of the now. Attachment in relationships is bad? I can see that. We become attached to the security of the other being into us. But that is the opposite of if you love someone, set them free. The observation schtick makes a lot of sense. So does seeing impatience as time and patience as the way. Meditation doesn't have to be sitting quiet in the lotus position with closed eyes and an empty mind. I dig the Japanese Zen enlightenment. Meditation becomes action and is always in the moment. It can be movement. It is complete stillness inside with awareness of the now. In sports, it is claimed time slowed down. The player could see everything. Partial enlightenment can often happen and suddenly. Total enlightenment is extremely rare. It can be fragile. Krishnamurti went over pain and the limits of the mind for good reasons earlier. The brain is effective but can only handle so much stuff. Experience can become easier over time and usually does, yet there is no guarantee of it and individual lives can go haywire. Alan Watts can perhaps be seen as a goofball compared to this dude. Krishnamurti is correct we are born into corruption and that it is not so easy to simply pick a side and roll with it.

Attachment for lack of a better word is overthinking.
