The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said, 'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person.'
We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms.
Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world. If you would like to help us with translating subtitles, please contact us at digital@kfoundation.org

How could have humanity skipped him? It’s such a dilemma

To sum up his message: The force that unites, that makes from two, one, is that which you can truly call good. The force that separates, that creates division, that makes from one, two, is that which you can trully call bad. These forces are manifesting themselves in various ways across the world, now only one of them is true and it represents the truth, the other is mearely an illusion. Of course, the idea of separation is the great illusion, but it serves a purpose, without it, there would be no "me and you as two separate beings", but only me and you as one. I think the only way to awake to this truth is to act accordingly, to always be a manifestation of that force which unites. To totally and fully be an expression of that force that unites. To be like Christ on the cross, able to forgive even those who put you death.

As he says, good isn't a movement from bad to good. Understanding yourself so completely that you, the entity stuck swinging on the pendulum between "good" and "evil," dissolve is the onset of the authentic, timeless good.

We treat ourselves horribly. We treat other humans horribly. We treat nonhumans horribly. We treat the planet itself horribly.

Once conflict ends and the heart opens in the high frequency silence of the moment so does duality or the controlling observer and the always becoming observed; one can see in the timelessness of relationship there is no such thing as good versus bad it’s just comparing and naming the other for the sake of the selfish self; we all have good and bad in us in the world of maya what matters is having goodness in one’s heart when there is insight and movement in action (the seeing is the doing) ❤️🙏🏼💙 ❣

Anything can be used as a weapon, and any weapon can be used for good spending on the mind perceiving it. Peoples problem is they play games with titles in worshipping them. Balance is all that matters. Waiting for Karma to afflict those who've wronged us is idiotic. A lot of the time we're their Karma. I don't aim to hurt/harm anyone, but I won't be persecuted/judged for defending myself. No over compensations, no extremism's for anything/anyone unless those situations/people causing them have been excessive. Where there's a pattern, you'll find ill intent. I won't tolerate ill intent. BALANCE IS KEY.

Goodness and evil are polar opposites so they are arguably the same thing (assuming they are anything at all). But tbh before we even address the issue of goodness and evil being a dance of two forces, we ought to first establish what good and evil actually constitute... which is impossible.

Moral Relativism ALWAYS leads to chaos - to tyrannical governments. Good - morality - is unquestionably objective. If harm is caused by one's actions, then the behavior is bad - wrong - immoral. This simple Truth is too difficult for our species to accept, hence we've never experienced peace in our recorded history. Morality is objective. Truth is objective. Reality is objective. Align your thoughts, emotions, and actions with our objective reality, and PEACE awaits.

@sampaine00 5 жыл бұрын

@@martinjimenez9343 The fact that one suffers from physical, mental, and spiritual distress when abused is quite clear evidence of this fact. If morality was subjective, all of the evil and violence in the world would not have any negative consequences. Reality: when one is not grounded in reality, why does neuroses always follow? Reality is Truth, and when one attempts to live a lie or a myriad of lies, there is always negative consequences, mainly mental, but also physical. And no, science is not needed to see these Truths. They are easily observable -- just look out the window.

@@mikewright902 We cannot "choose" our Truth, fore there is but one Truth, and it is known as reality. Truth is that which is -- that which took place in the past, and that which is taking place right now. Our responsibility is to accept that which is, and to align our thoughts and emotions with our shared reality. The issue is that we all lie to ourselves on a minute by minute basis, hence the chaos in every single country on this planet, regardless of race, culture, etc. Easy test: ask anyone if they believe in peace, freedom, the right to be left alone, and the right to protect one's Self and one's family. Ask them if they love and honor life. The person will surely say, 'yes, of course," however, at the same time they believe in and worship the State, they "support the troops," and they support the police. *These are the very evil, immoral institutions that are destroying freedom, killing innocent human beings, and destroying all that is good on our planet.* That very obvious contradiction is held by 99.99% of the world's population. They're lying to themselves. They have NO LOVE, not for themselves, and sure as hell not for humanity. Long answer. My apologies.

Is killing someone for pleasure or self activities not bad, is rape not bad. Yes ofcourse there are things which are bad or inhuman. Animals also don't kill anyone or anything ,if they are not hungry. We humans are ofcourse have used our intellect and gathering of knowledge in a bad way. You don't need philosophy to understand such a basic thing. Killing some one or rapping someone or hurting someone even psychologically is bad.

@John Divyan The "Old Testament" has been under the Jewish people's possession for thousands if years...go ask an Orthodox Rabbi about that. The Roman Catholic Church didn't always exist...it came into existence. Religious history mentions 5 "seas" and developments took place to solidify the Bishop of Rome's position "spiritually" and then as a political power. Prior to the creation of the seas, no such single Bishop of anywhere existed. This is why there is a difference between bible based Christianity and the creation of the Roman Catholic and other denominations. We're done talking...do your own research now. Ciao
