Thought is matter

http://jkrishnamurti-sussex.info/quotes-on-thought/

How thought takes shape
If one wants to see a thing very clearly, one’s mind must be very quiet, without all the prejudices, the chattering, the dialogue, the images, the pictures – all that must be put aside to look.

What is thought made of?
Is thought the cause of all division, of all fragmentation in life? What is thought made of? What is the substance of those pieces of thread woven into that complex cloth we call the mind? Thought is matter, probably measurable. And it comes from the accumulated memory, which is matter, stored in the brain. Thought has its origin in the past, recent or remote. Can one be aware of thought as it arises out of the past- the recollections of the past, the action of the past?

Thought is matter
Those who think a great deal are very materialistic because thought is matter. Thought is matter as much as the floor, the wall, the telephone, are matter. Energy functioning in a pattern becomes matter. There is energy and there is matter. That is all life is. We may think thought is not matter but it is. Thought is matter as an ideology. Where there is energy it becomes matter. Matter and energy are interrelated. The one cannot exist without the other, and the more harmony there is between the two, the more balance, the more active the brain cells are. Thought has set up this pattern of pleasure, pain, fear, and has been functioning inside it for thousands of years and cannot break the pattern because it has created it.

But Einstein looked at space and time and saw a single dynamic stage — spacetime — on which matter and energy strutted, generating sound and fury, signifying gravity.
Không biết Jiddu có đọc các bài báo khoa học của Einstein cùng thời không. Ý tưởng vật chất và năng lượng diễu hành trong không thời gian, phát ra âm thanh và tiếng nổ, nó biểu hiện thành lực hấp dẫn.

If you can move from freedom
If you can move from freedom, then you will discover the most extraordinary things of the mind. And then you will find that the mind itself is the total reality: it is not that there is a reality to which the mind goes, but the mind itself, that extraordinary thing, when there is no contradiction within itself – when there is no anxiety, no fear, no desire to be successful – then that mind itself is that which is eternal, unnameable. But to speculate about the eternal without understanding the whole process of the mind is just childish play; it is an immature game which scholars, whom you worship, play. So, it would be good if you and I could really go into this, as two human beings interested in solving the problems we have, which are also the problems of the world. The personal problem is not different from the world problem. But you cannot tackle it if you have not understood the mind.

A confident man is a dead human being

http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kr/confiden.html https://ernietheattorney.net/a-confident-man-is-a-dead-human-being/ https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060648082/ernietheattor-20/103-5695954-1041405 I’m reading this book, which I’ve read before.  Somehow this time the ideas seem less abstract.   I enjoyed this passage, and carefully underlined it: "In order to understand ourselves we need a great deal of humility.  If you start by saying, ‘I know myself’, you have already stopped learning about yourself…A confident man is a dead human being." I especially love that Krishnamurti doesn’t profess to be able to impart any great truth, which this passage shows quite nicely: "I have nothing to teach you — no new philosophy, no new system, no new path to reality; there is no path to reality any more than to truth.  All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing.  Leaders destroy...

You worship success

You worship success We all want to become something: a pacifist, a war hero, a millionaire, a virtuous man, or what you will. The very desire to become involves conflict, and that conflict produces war. There is peace only when there is no desire to become something, and that is the only true state because in that state ...

Zidu Kris Beginnings of Learning

To observe it so that it is totally cleansed, wiped away, which means to be vulnerable, which means sensitive. A sensitive person is not wounded, he is sensitive. Right? Because then a sensitive person is attentive, watchful. And when there is attention there is no space for getting hurt. And also we looked at, observed, relationship, which is very important in our lives. We cannot possibly live without relationship. You may go off into the mountains by yourself but you are related. Related means you are carrying all the tears of the world, the laughter, the pain, the anxiety, the loneliness, it's there. You may physically wander off but you are carrying all that weight on your shoulders, as relationship is extraordinarily important, we live by relationship. We cannot possibly escape from relationship, but we dictate what that relationship should be. And so we get caught, we kill each other in our relationships. So one has to enquire very, very deeply, the nature of relationship a...
