”Therefore every form of philosophy，every form of theo- logical concept，is merely an escape from the actual reality of what is.” 不认同。哲学是人类认识世界，探讨人性质素的成果，怎么就被贬低成逃避了？作者让人们忘记社会规训，自发地向内探索，以此改变肮脏的世界；我反而认为失去社会规则、失去哲学、失去宗教之后人只会更肆无忌惮，更远离本真，更不要妄想改变世界。

This book will startle, shock, accost and leave you terribly frustrated, but somehow - in a way only JK can do - will also allow for some profound insights to surface. JK shares no methods, protocols, belief systems or ways to pierce the veil of illusion. In fact, he emphatically states that by trying to see past the illusion of the "self" ....we are bound to never achieve transcendence. Striving itself is the problem!
What then, are we to do? Toil away in the human predicament? I guess so. However, in the way an open window will - on occasion - allow a breeze to flow in, by seeking to understand the nature of the self (and what it is NOT...thoughts, ideas, concepts, etc.) we can open the window of the self...and allow whatever deeper understanding is available about our true nature to come through if/when it does.

Have read few spiritual books before but this one was different. Different in terms of ideas and complex in terms of relating the ideas. It got super confusing, draining mentally and boring throughout the read. Will prolly read it again after sometime and get better insight.

I'm going to revisit this one in the next month or so once I've sat with it for a minute.
Krishnamurti is very Zen.

A brilliant book read in the Summer of 22.
Reminded me of my childhood experiments conducted with thoughts, mind and consciousness.

That's right. What's in the book? I have interpreted with my own conditioning. You'll will interpret it according to your background and your conditioning. That's the point of book that we create an idea after experiencing something or seeing something or analyzing something. That very idea is old. Our thaughts are old. You will have to find out yourself what this book means to you.
