Book Reviews of The Awakening of Intelligence
Book Review: Wake Up
Summary: 5 Stars
Read this book and wake up to the fears, misery and conflict that prevades your life. Whether you admit it or not it is there, and Jiddu Krishnamurti will not only point it out to you but show you the way to "change". This is not a "self-help" book or for those looking for a step-by-step instruction guide to finding happiness or intelligence. Instead, this book is a wake-up call. He has a simple message that is conveyed in various, entertaining ways.Book Review: Krishnamurti UNDERMINES does not oppose an belief
Summary: 5 Stars
Jiddu and I exchanged letters via David Bohm and Mary Zimbalist; Jiddu undermines any path you are on: hedonism, Catholicism, atheism, Hinduism. The secret to life is not a certain path, but getting off the one you are on. In the state of attention, consciousness expands ---very different from tricks to become psychic. The question is who is Jiddu when he was not in front of the public? Was HE consistently attentive? Geoff NicolettiBook Review: invaluable collection
Summary: 5 Stars
Krishnamurti provided a difficult antidote for the Western tendency toward conceptual clutter: cut through to the heart of that clutter and sit with it until it silences itself. Be prepared to do the work of LOOKING if you buy this book, whose thesis is that where awareness operates and thought comes to an end, perhaps there can flower a different kind of intelligence that has nothing to do with intellect; an intelligence open to love.Book Review: The Most Important Book Ever....
Summary: 5 Stars
Forget Zen Buddhism, Freud, Psychiatrists, forget everything you think you know. Just read and see what Krishnamurti sees. To see without prejudice to see with a free mind. This book has changed my life forever. I know who I am now, I found this out myself, not by being told what is right or wrong but by seeing with a clear mind. You are the only person who can save yourself. Don't even think about buying this book, just buy it. GENIUS!Book Review: Tied for the most important book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
I came to Krishnamurti through studying Joseph Campbell. The ideas presented in this book literally shake the foundations of society and force the individual into an internal dialogue about the nature of time, thought, self, and one's place in society. The end result of Krishnaji's teachings is always silence--vast, and energy filled creativity. This one is a must read.
