Thanks for the link... he is a great study for anyone intested in a mystic or the mystical experience. I see that for the intellect, the standard complaint about mystical teachings show up on that link: <<Krishnamurti’s work is large, subtle, and complex; Krishnamurti did not explicitly define positions; instead, his understanding is interwoven through out his work. This is further complicated by the evolution in his manner of expression that occurred over his lifetime, so that two comments taken out of context and separated by decades seem to contradict each other (though, taken in context, they are not contradictory); and He did not present his insights in traditional intellectual forms, which would have made summarisation easier. Consequently, we are left with a kind of translation - translating Krishnamurti’s work, which is partly apophatic, into an expository presentation. And, as with all processes of translation, something is lost, and those who know the original see the loss, and rightly complain. >> I agree completely about 'the sacred'... "What happens then at higher levels of conciousness is you become that which is 'talked about' in religion and what people 'try to do' at certain times through meditation or prayer... you become the prayer...ie. you become loving, grateful, and thankful for all that is presented to you by the universe as a way of being." Dr. David Hawkins FWIW, THAT is what is meant by Jesus great commandment IMHO... "love god with all your soul, heart, mind...blah blah blah" I find it a kind of 'dark humor' that Jesus great commandment takes the last seat on the commandment bus to Moses 10 commandments... somehow the church at some point lost it, they couldn't see that less is more, that simplicity of the one statement encompassed all the rest, that if you do the one, all the rest are obvious... even though he reportedly stated "I bring you true bread from heaven, Moses didn't have the real bread" {my words}. Anyway, thanks for the link, bookmarked it. DAK
