I've about a half hour to go in part 10. It feels like a marathon in which the main struggle has been overcome. There becomes a second wind. Krishnamurti is saying thought is a sensation, yet not that there's anything wrong with those. It's natural to enjoy touch and whatnot. We become attached to shirts which feel nice and make us look sharp. He's mentioned our favourite chairs a few times. I suppose he might have picked up on that from Archie Bunker or perhaps more likely Norman Lear committed schtick theft. There's always the possibility that great minds thought alike. But we have Snowden documents which clearly show that demented military intelligence across the English speaking nations and some others such as France are mimicking and mirroring us. But I'm the kook? I'm the troll? The great Krishnamurti himself has asked why does everything tend to be so conformist and mediocre.
I'm perhaps mixing medium apples and oranges. The point seems to be that love and desire are natural and not necessarily a problem. Krishnamurti is probing. McLuhan often used that word and utilised a very similar methodology. Watts and McLuhan knew of each other and intellectually shared a bit of schtick.
I've still got a ways to go before completing this twelve part series. It is beyond the scope of this writing to tie everything together and wrap it up. There is reality or he calls them facts. He's saying ideals and thoughts are not facts. Last election the thing that should have happened was arrests. When Snowden revealed what he did, there should have been massive arrests in the tens of thousands of treasonous military scumbags denying us of freedoms of speech, association, due process and privacy.
Trump should not be pardoning war criminals while allowing Julian Assange to rot. The U.S. Military and Five Eyes should not be on the internet with their militarised alternate reality games. These are ideals. This is about what is versus how things should be. Krishnamurti is telling us to swallow the reality pill. We are faced with facts. Non-facts have no place in social reality. Daydreaming will basically not save us.
On the personal, philosophical level, Krishnamurti wonders that if the mind can spring up thoughts of desire and all the other ways we humans may lose focus, perhaps the mind can also cut it out to use an H. phrase. She allegedly told the bankers to cut it out or that was her plan. From listening to a lot of Watts and now this guy, I like the analogy of birds singing in regards to inner chatter. Or think of the Chinese finger torture joke schtick. The more one struggles to change, the more one tends to stay stuck in so-called muck and mire. He had to contend with the trains passing.
Anyway, I am very curious to hear more from Krishnamurti on this personal level because I tend to do a lot of daydreaming. It definitely can lead to frustration and other negative thoughts. Social media is apparently driving us all nuts. I tend to ignore as much of it as possible. I do not visit news websites so much anymore. It's almost down to no visits. I do not watch Tucker Carlson and Jimmy Dore. I'm not trusting Russia Today, for example. I dislike both Trump and Adam Schiff equally, to select two current fake opponents or scumbags in power.
Krishnamurti didn't twiddle his thumbs. He was splashing cold water on all of us. This world as society is garbage and it's better to realise that. He then set out to explain why it sucks so much. It's because of authority. It's because of the trash who control everything. Since we are non-violent, there's really not much we can do about it. It seems we can only change ourselves which earlier on if ye recall, he did say it's possible for the mind to change its patterns. So there is hope? The powers that be set up fake protests as propaganda and entrapment. Everything on the internet is fake? Show me how any of this is legit? So the thought becomes this is garbage and most people are dog shit. It is a very negative experience and unnatural. So what can be done? What are we to do?
