Krishnamurti, an Indian writer, philosopher and speaker, was, at an early age, taken in by the Theosophical Society and groomed to become the new World Teacher. Annie Besant and Charles Leadbeater, the leaders of the Theosophical society at the time, nurtured Krishnamurti at their headquarters in Madras.
They, along with a few select associates, undertook the task of educating him, guiding him through mystical teachings and generally 'preparing' him to become the vehicle for 'Lord Maitreya', a highly evolved spiritual being committed to aiding the evolution of mankind.
However, when it came time to 'unveil' Krishnamurti to the world as a great teacher and leader of humanity, Krishnamurti broke all ties with the theosophists, denounced all organised belief, denounced the notion of gurus (and the whole teacher-follower relationship), and devoted himself instead to the pursuit of freedom for both himself and humanity at large.
By the time Bohm had read The First and Last Freedom, Krishnamurti's teachings had developed beyond the point of theosophical influence. Bohm recognized that Krishnamurti's insights were reflected in his own work in quantum theory and felt it urgent to meet with him as soon as possible. Eventually, the two of them did meet face-to-face in London where they exchanged ideas and engaged in rich conversation.
Bohm described his first meeting with Krishnamurti as follows:
I was struck by the great ease of communication with him, which was made possible by the intense energy with which he listened and by the freedom from self-protective reservations and barriers with which he responded to what I had to say."Bohm recognized his meeting with Krishnamurti as a meeting of minds not unlike that which he felt when talking to other scientists. In fact, he even compared Krishnamurti to Albert Einstein, stating that the two of them "showed a similar intensity and absence of barrier".
Bohm and Krishnamurti met each time they were in London and probed deeply into the nature of time, space and mind. The two of them would inevitably hit on the topic of consciousness and this is where Krishnamurti's insights shined.
Indeed, Bohm felt that Krishnamurti's most powerful teachings were those concerned with the general disorder and confusion that pervades the consciousness of mankind, for it was he who offered not only an explanation of this problem but a solution to it.
Krishnamurti maintained that all this disorder, which he felt was the root cause of such widespread sorrow and misery, and which prevented human beings from loving one another, had its roots in the fact that we are ignorant of the general nature of our own processes of thought.
In other words, Krishnamurti noticed that while we are generally aware of the content of our thoughts, we are hopelessly ignorant as to the origin and process of thinking itself.
This ignorance, which causes disorder within man's consciousness, is expressed outwardly as the disorder we see within society itself - war, widespread sorrow, violence, segregation, et cetera.
But why should this be the case?
The answer, perhaps, lies in Bohm's area of expertise - quantum physics. As Heisenberg's uncertainty principle teaches us, you cannot accurately measure both the position and momentum of an object and, therefore, our seemingly "solid" reality is proven to be non-determinable[1].
And as the experiments of the brilliant Dr. William Tiller show, a conscious observer may "bend reality to his will" by holding a focused intent, the effect of which can be quantified and even amplified if that intent is held by multiple people at the same time.
William A. Tiller, a physicist at Stanford University dedicated over four decades of his life to investigating the effects of human intention on the properties of materials and what we call physical reality. His research discovered that it is possible to effect a significant change to the properties of physical materials simply by holding a clear intention to do so.
Interestingly, Tiller and his colleagues also discovered that it is possible to imprint or "store" an intention within an electronic device, which would then have the same effect on an object as that of a human consciousness holding the same intention. Tiller's results have been consistently reproduced around the world.
Bohm himself proposed a holographic model of the universe based on enfolded and unfolded states of being emanating from a common source beyond both the unmanifest and manifest realms.
His scientific insight echoes the view of reality experienced by enlightened sages throughout the centuries. In Vedanta, the manifest world is called "Maya", meaning "illusory reality" and it emanates from "Brahman", the omnipresent sea of infinite potential[2].
It is therefore easy to see why Bohm was so taken by Krishnamurti's teachings. The ancient doctrine of "as above, so below" or man as a microcosm is embodied within the curious quantum "observer effect" that ties consciousness to the "outside" world and the very fabric of space-time itself[3].
Once this phenomenon is understood as being real, it is not hard to see how and why disorder within can create disorder without.
The answer, then, to man's problems lies in being aware of the process of thought. And this, according to Krishnamurti, requires meditation. Though by meditation, Krishnamurti does not mean we should sit on a rock in the lotus position, no, Krishnamurti's idea of meditation is centred around the root meaning of the word itself.
The English word 'meditation' is based on the Latin root, "med" meaning to measure. The Sanskrit word for meditation, "dhyana", is related to "dhyati", meaning to reflect. Putting these together brings us closer to Krishnamurti's definition of meditation which is to ponder and reflect while focusing one's attention on what is actually going on.
Krishnamurti maintained that the act of meditation itself was enough to bring order to the activity of thought, for "in the seeing is the doing". In this state, the mind becomes quiet, energy increases and something new and creative begins to unfold. This, according to Krishnamurti, is extraordinarily significant to the whole of life.
Once again we can find a physics parallel to describe what Krishnamurti is saying. A cluttered mind filled with arbitrary thoughts, desires, fears and anxieties, is akin to a high entropy system. Entropy is a measure of randomness or disorder within a closed system and reduces the energy available to do work.
"Work" in this case refers to the ability to effect change within the physical medium, which as Tiller's research shows is done through focusing one's intent. In his illuminating three-part tome, physicist Tom Campbell expands greatly on this concept, explaining that, within a consciousness "system", "high entropy" corresponds with fear, while "low entropy" corresponds with love.
Therefore meditation, as defined by Krishnamurti, becomes a tool to bring order to the activity of thought or "reduce the entropy of the system". This naturally results in greater energy to do work (i.e. a more focused intent and thus a greater ability to effect change "out there").
The culmination of this process is an increase in power. The source of this power stems from the concept that all men and women are created equal. This is the profound truth behind Krishnamurti's assertion that "there is no authority, no teacher, no master and no saviour". Each one of us is all of those things, and at the time, none of them at all. We are all capable and entitled to the realization of Truth or God or whatever one may wish to call it. Embarking on the path is a free will choice.
Power supports life - it uplifts, dignifies and sustains. It gives us energy and vitality. It is whole and complete, requiring nothing from outside. Power is associated with compassion, love and unity. Power promotes creativity, healing and positive feelings. Power allows us to create positive change in order to more fully express our collective divinity.
In the absence of power, change must be effected through force.
Whereas power stands on its own, without the need to move against anything at all, force always moves against something. Force is fragmented and therefore has to be fed energy constantly. Force consumes whereas power creates. While force requires sustained input, power acts without effort.
Newton's third law teaches us that force always creates counterforce and therefore it is limited by definition. While force must struggle against opposition, power stands still. Power effects change through its own field of influence, without the need to expend energy.
Force is associated with friction and conflict. This point is perhaps best explained by Dr. David Hawkins himself:
"Force always creates counterforce; its effect is to polarize rather than unify. Polarization always implies conflict; its cost, therefore, is always high. Because force incites polarization, it inevitably produces a win/lose dichotomy; and because somebody always loses, enemies are created. Constantly faced with enemies, force requires constant defense. Defensiveness is invariably costly, whether in the marketplace, politics, or international affairs."Thinking about the concept of power and force within the context of the current global crisis leads us toward some profound conclusions. For one, agendas that center around inequality, control, profit and material gain are always driven by force.
Hawkins, R, D., 1995. Power vs Force. Hay House, Inc. 2012 reprint.
Force is a tool used by those who lack power. When your motives go against the good of humanity, when your intentions fail to support life itself, your only option is to use force. Force includes all manner of fear-mongering, manipulation, coercion and violence. Force may work up to a point but as we discovered, it requires a constant input of energy and therefore, results are obtained at a cost. Propaganda campaigns require vast amounts of money, coordination and tireless censorship. Vaccine mandates require bribes, threats, and the covering up of adverse events.
This energy input is immense and, most importantly, unsustainable.
As force creates friction, it must constantly be fed with more and more energy. But as the force becomes stronger, so does the friction. Force, due its polarizing nature, increases entropy. As entropy rises, the available energy decreases, until, eventually, momentum ceases and the entire thing grinds to a halt.
While the source of power is self-evident, indestructible and inarguable, force is subject to 'proof' and requires constant justification. While true power emanates from consciousness itself, force is driven by the ego.
Those who use force to impose their will on humanity always succumb to power. As history has shown, all totalitarian regimes eventually come crashing down - not on account of some divine intervention, but because each of us is born with inalienable rights that are intrinsic to human creation.
Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the transhumanist force implodes. However, the time it takes for that to happen is dependent on our ability to reduce disorder and increase power. A lower entropy consciousness means more energy available to do work which results in more power, freedom, happiness and love. As our power collectively grows, we create an immovable wall able to repel any and all negative influences and nefarious threats.
On the other hand, the ego-mind is constantly asking unanswerable questions and worrying about unlikely futures. As our minds become cluttered with fear-laden media, our power decreases and we find ourselves at the mercy of "authorities".
Bohm's "holographic" universe hinted at the true nature of our reality and Krishnamurti showed us how to realise it. By turning our attention away from the content of thought, and focusing on the process of thinking itself, we can bring order to the mind and begin to discover something completely new.
In this way, we extricate ourselves from a state of fear and confusion and move towards freedom and certitude. The result of this is an increase in power. Force is by definition limited in what it can accomplish, and therefore it is not a matter of if the transhumanists will fail, but when.

"These two key principles have profound implications, not only for quantum physics, but also for our perceptions of the nature of reality. One implication is that the seemingly solid reliable reality that we perceive is based on something that is ultimately uncertain or non-determinable. Many have found this to be a shocking 'fact'. Einstein, for one, not only found it shocking but also attempted to refute it, saying to Bohr one of in his many debates with him that he (Einstein) could not believe that God played dice with the universe."

[2] Tom Campbell's work is especially helpful in grasping the clear connections between quantum physics, consciousness, and the seemingly "physical" world within the context of a "virtual" reality mirroring the Eastern philosophies and systems of thought, albeit put into strictly scientific terminology.
"Wave-particle dualities, uncertainty principles, and the seemingly instantaneous communication between entangled pairs become simple to explain once you realise that [physical reality] is a virtual reality created by a digital simulation implementing a space-time rule-set [within a larger consciousness system]. Given a digital reality simulation, which is stepped forward by time increments that appear infinitesimal to us, and a virtual reality that must obey only the rules driving its digital computation, these paradoxes disappear along with the illusion of absolute space. Once the limiting belief that all possible reality is exclusively defined by measurements within [our physical reality] is abandoned and the true nature of consciousness is grasped, the mysterious paradoxes of physics, philosophy, and metaphysics all melt away like ice cubes in the summer sun."

Two completely different disciplines are trying to emerge space, time, matter and have them work as a consequence of thoughts, seems 2 company and General relativity is a crowd.

I liked the article, not sure how close it tracks with reality, maybe a lot, maybe not. Food for thought for sure. This sentence jumped out like a huge red flag and made it hard for me to take the rest seriously. All should be treated equally under the law, given equal opportunities, treated respectfully (until they prove undeserving of respect), etc. But this statement is so obviously untrue I have to wonder about all the rest.

Thanks.

This quote says what I tried to describe above. I don't pretend to understand all these concepts...I'm like everyone...living my life, realizing some of the concepts, totally ignorant of others. Remember, everyone has the potential state of Being-ness called "Buddhahood." It's a free-will world. You can develop that state of life or not.
There's a lot to learn from NDEs for sure. If you observe dogs you'll see telepathy in action all the time. Not unreasonable to think people could do it.
But dose not the headline and the articles content amount to a load of BOLLOCKS.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.
One of the most brillliant independent thinkers compared to an incestuous plagiarist.
Happy Holidays to you and yours.
Encountered this "Auld Lang Syne" over at From the Trenches World Report today. For you and all SOTT people...enjoy! "Auld Lang Syne (For Freedom)." [Link]
There were several covers on YT, some by a much older Robert Earl but I chose the one you saw for the dishes in the sink, the turkey carved by someone with no idea and the eggnog with something in it making bubbles. Mom and Dad asleep on each others shoulders and the mug shots of little sister's new boyfriend were just the best.

By turning our attention away from the content of thought, and focusing on the process of thinking itself, we can bring order to the mind and begin to discover something completely new. Who here believes for one instant, that the sheeple can properly process this statement? I rest my case.
I believe that is true in God's eyes. But what is God’s criteria? It is not wealth and riches, or possessions, or fancy titles, or positions of adulation, or degrees or awards; it is only one criterium: love, and how we love one another. By that standard the poorest, illiterate, uneducated, homeless person can show the same or more love to another. That is all that really matters.
.
IMO all totalitarian regimes come crashing down specifically because of divine intervention and that same divine intervention is responsible for our inalienable rights.
Firstly God gave us free will as long as we do no harm. When we do harm, God’s Laws automatically start to correct - call it karma - to show us the errors of our ways and guide us back to love.
When man creates with evil intent, God’s Laws naturally flow to destroy and reinstate balance; which is why more and more force is required to maintain the evil.
When man creates with loving intentions, then the full power of Gods universal laws provide support - like the wind beneath the sails.
So I agree with the author but acknowledge that it is God's design: power is pro-life pro-truth pro-love, driven by our soul based will and flows effortlessly; force is anti-life, lies fear and hate and driven by will power, and takes more and more force to maintain.
I am not sure he reflects completely David R Hawkins Power vs Force. As you ascend in consciousness you ascend in power and truth, as you descend you are the opposite. Often thoughts reflect beliefs not thinking so seeing how thinking is affected by states and emotions brings you to be separate from them and less deceived by them. In the end consciousness is not thought.
GOD Bless.
GOD speed.
Good luck.
All of you here have helped me keep my sanity, gave me a sense of brotherhood(my sistas are involved in it too, lol) and sharpened my wit by way of debate. I love you all like I love myself.
Thank you Canada - and yes indeed I am hopelessly in love with the Maple Leaf.
I'm hopeless in that way - tis good to be in love.
Truckers - please be firm in resolve - we need you. We need the strength you proffer and we are thankful for it.
1. Ms. Margaret Trudeau was a wild child free loving spirit of frolicking seeming innocence , but she had grown into a young women.
2. She enjoyed tantalizing. She enjoyed many companions. I think she was fond of the big strong fella from Cuba amongst others.
3. Young Justin must have grown up in what many would consider a " dream world ". Life was theater in a way, and of course, it is in a way, but not all theatre is worthwhile. Still it is fun to dress up and wear makeup.
4. At some point young Justin must have concluded in his mind - "we" run the show .
5. This made young Justin a fine candidate for the young up-and-comers club.
6. In that club, the up and comers are indoctrinated with the idea that - "Life is a Show" and "We" are running the show because we are superior in all ways - we might even be our own species they chuckled amongst each other. They are so powerful in their minds.
7. At some point, folks who ascribe to this, some of the the folks, especially the ones with mentors who have misguided ideas...start thinking of themselves as "Gods and Goddesses" I reckon.
8. They think the earth is their playground and it is self-fulfilling in a way because they have so much power and influence. This is not an accident they think to themselves - we are destined and the rest our "but cattle and props in our show"... ha, ha, ha as the spittle runs down their cheeks !
9. The reality is however not what they think and all of them are actually puppets . They are puppets to their own selves is my theory.
10. Puppets are held up by strings, and they love drama and theater and wearing costumes, but others don't have the luxury to live their lives this way.
11. When puppets cause disproportionate harm to every day folks just trying to get by and who love their family and who can't be living in a theatre dreams and make believe all the time, then every day folks start cutting the strings .
So, I put forth that mass-scale psychoses could be a possibility, but real life is NOT a show and hard lessons are on the way for those thought they were running things when in reality they are just in a bad dream that is only going to get worse for them individually.
In conclusion, while I love theatre, and who doesn't enjoy a good show , if you think the peasants are "cattle" then get ready to be stampeded away permanently and individually in the modern age of quick communication. That is what I think.
I'm not sure how else to explain such nefarious global activity from a few sickos, and the reality is we know it ain't a show and we know who the actors our and it is time for this show to END . I refer you to the opening statement made by that German Legal Individual that was presented a few days ago and is available to viewing.
The End of this show.
I can dream way better.

I super seriously appreciate the effort that must have been involved to make the MP4 files and offer them up.
Once again, let me say thank-you - Good Optics.
In the future, I expect I will have faster speeds and the beauty is I plan for this to be provided for free at my residence.....that is a long, long story that maybe I'll tell elsewhere. It is ongoing.
