Yesterday concentrating on the question -can we be free?- I lookeed for a speech from Jiddu krishnamurti that would deal with a similar question, I found it, and his words concentrated on a similar question:

can our mind be free of all time spanned conditionings?

for J. Krishnamurti wasn´t a question of getting rid of the entire mind, but cleansing it from ineffective parts, as called conditionings. By constant watching of our most automatic response we are able to deal whit this parts.

he was stimulating us to go into that question, using words as human condition and human conditioning.

How we evolved thousand of years of time spanned brain, and if we could at last be able to stick all this material out of our heads.

He called -to really think about it- not as conforming to another line of thoughts, but really to one selves sake.

The most recurrent question of JK is -what does it mean..........?-

he says to observe problems, as they were jewels.
To observe for some oriental philosophies it´s everything.

The world of forms has a depth that we can reach only trough observation, we shall listen to images, and understand them in each tiny perceivable particoular.

than, we can go beyond.
