Book Reviews of As One Is: To Free the Mind from All Conditioning
Book Review: Speeches about cultural conditioning
Summary: 3 Stars
This publication consists of eight talks spoken by Jiddu Krishnamurti "without notes, ex tempore" in the summer of 1955. The content in this book is actually much like in his later "Freedom from the Known," which was published in 1969.
But there's one little problem with this book - I think it's pretty obvious that in most of the cases when the word "self" is mentioned, it should be replaced with the word "ego" instead. Because in reality it's the ego, the "false self," which is endlessly yearning for immediate social status and recognition...
Not only is Krishnamurti here trying to encourage people to get rid of their cultural conditioning, but he's also slightly promoting some kind of absent-mindedness as if it was somehow an ideal state of being. -Anyhow, I would still recommend the "Freedom from the Known" if you want just one book about the main subject.
Summary of As One Is: To Free the Mind from All Conditioning
A series of 8 lectures, given in Ojai, California in 1955, from one of the 20th century's greatest philosophers and teachers. Krishnamurti confronts the typical grasping and confused mind which lies at the root of all violence and suffering. Though offered over fifty years ago, the ideas in these talks are fresh, relevant and offer an enduring message for today as Krishnamurti discusses a world in which booming productivity and scientific advancement should promise a happy future, but don't. He points also to the ongoing escalation of war, competition, envy and territoriality despite gains in education, religious ecumenism and the technologies of self-improvement. He asks his listeners to consider that all apparent progress is simply another illusion. In their brilliantly clear essays, his focus is singular, with no glib answers to eternal questions. To read this book is to venture into the unexplored assumptions that govern our lives. The workings of the mind are so simple and obvious in J. Krishnamurti's explanations, yet so enormously challenging to confront. Like other classic texts, such as religious scriptures, the words ring true. Issues addressed include: the nature of violence; the problem of change; the conditioning of the mind; how to achieve "peace"; the nature of worship and spiritual practice; how to really listen.General Books
