Ham to Marsha: And since the only justification you can come up with for denying the self is your "static patterns" mantra, it's obvious that you want to deny what is self-evident. Why should I wish to destroy your euphoria?
Andre: The 'self' is a product of thought, intellectualising being a process of dividing. "We are not bringing something exotic from the East like the nonsense that goes on in the name of gurus... . 'The content of our consciousness is the common ground of all humanity...A human being living in any part of the world suffers, not only physically but also inwardly. He is uncertain, fearful, confused, anxious, without any sense of deep security. So our consciousness is common to all mankind...and therefore we are not individuals. Please do consider this. We have been trained, educated, religiously as well as scholastically, to think that we are individuals, separate souls, striving for ourselves, but this is an illusion....We are not separate entities with separate psychological content, struggling for reasults; we are, each one of us, actually the rest of humankind". (from J. Krishnamurti "The Open Door", a biography by Mary Lutyens, p 48). One needs only a small amount of experience living with others, and a very small amount of empathy to realise the truth of these observations. But as Krishnamurti said over and over again; please consider this, find out for yourself. Do not accept my word for it.
