A very well edited summary of Krishnamurti’s and David Bohm’s central argument/philosophy on the problem of thought as it pertains to the sociological and ideological differences that cause the world’s suffering.
This is the best summary of what Jidu Krishnamurti, David Bohm, and others connected to JK are trying to tell the world. In a nutshell, self-centred thought is created by thought itself and is an attitude of thought that creates an illusion of a self. The truth is found in an attitude of wholeness that questions all assumptions of a distinct self, and of any dependable judgement made through thought. This is not to deny the importance of applications of thought, such as in scientific practice, or planning buildings etc. Rather it calls for a similar attitude in which the importance of suspension of judgement in all aspects of life is especially important for self-centred thoughts and feelings which tend to warp individuals attention to reality such that they may even become completely detached from it.
