Kindly be mindful of the following points regarding the forum. Dialogue is thinking together - it isn’t debate - and it's inquiring together without end point or agenda. People come into the dialogue from their own place of understanding, which is not going to be your place of understanding. We’re here to communicate together, learn together and gain insight into our own thought; to receive and share our observations, not impose our views on others. Address the comments in a polite, considerate manner. By all means, ask for clarification, but challenge the comment, not the commentator. We don’t know enough about the others to make those judgments and we’re here to learn about ourselves, not to correct another's perceived personality flaws. If a comment brings an emotional response, look at that. Do you feel the need to defend? To attack? Time for some looking inward. Self protection results in war. Besides, the war is in each of us. Stop that war, and the rest will take care of itself. (For some suggestions on the nature of dialogue, please click here)

thats one point, but i think the people here read k and the knew about the danger of society. it sounds mor like a conditioned projection from childhood, school, university, work. it sounds like to be a member in an academic group, frightened to show the egoistic tendency of conscioussness, to cover it. you know, like lets talk abaut what you feel, perhaps we can find out what you feel.:-)

Hum...observing, at the right moment in wich you read some think and you react...is like all belongs also to you...you identify, make you be against, to criticise, because is in side of you, is a normal mental dynamism...we attack , is a reaction to some think that is complet a live in side of us...

Hi Awareness, howdy! :-)

I simply wondered about the meaning of what one means when using the word togetherness when reading your post, as it brought up something to be looked into, and nothing to do with anyone else's perceptions of it.  In other words looking at it impersonally as you might understand.  So let me explain what I meant.  Let's take any other word for example, like goodness, peace, order, justice, love.  So what makes the mind demand, or seek it.  Is it not a mind that is disorderly that demands, asks for order, just as a mind that is fragmented that asks, demands for peace.  In other words being not peaceful, peace is demanded.  Being unloving, love is demanded.  Being injust, justice is demanded.  Not that it is wrong to, but just as a matter of fact, for if one were really peaceful would then one demand peace?  If you were full of love would you then demand love?   You can only demand what you are not.  Just as being lonely the mind seeks out togetherness, being disorderly it seeks out order.   If you were totally at peace, then you would be peace in action, harmony, love, beauty in action, and so there is no need for you to ask, seek, beg, demand anything whatsoever from anyone, anywhere!  Does that make sense?  I find it fascinating to explore, all this.

Yes, a mind that is alone and so with all, has no need to ask of, or seek out togetherness as it is complete within itself.  In general, seeking of togetherness, or love only indicates to the lack of the thing being sought, demanded.  Not saying this is you, but just looking at it from an impersonal point.  Hope all is well out there, Ekanta.  Have a great evening/night.

yes, thats right, pearl. it makes crazy if i hear all that "together" or "we". i dont know what i am, so how can i be together with until i am not connected with an umbilical cord.  consciousness is this together per se with all its facettes, but its limited.

Hi kirsten, just came to be shared that,  that whic is good, which is true cannot be "known" by the psyche, but the false, yes, certainly.  Infact, what is called intelligence is the very ability to distinguish the true from the false.  In other words by knowing that which is false, truth, or goodness comes into being, and infact the only thing that can be known, understood is the false and all that is known as in knowledge is also the false as truth, goodness cannot be known.  And in that sense what you say is true in the above response is actually not true.  Not that you are wrong, but it is simply not true for the reasons just shared.

Indeed.  This so called togethernessand asking for it is nothing but a facade of a mind in isolation, disorder, conflict.

Sure and be vulnerable is one of the greats beauty in the world...the intelectual field, helps to develop the mind, but the real think is to love...to be inteligent, observing and be vulnerable and open , that is so nice...I still love make friends, and seqe together, as K alwya saymin his discourse, lets see together, see beyond
Ual...I just working in a song now with my producer, is being all inspired also by gurdjeff

When togetherness is but a facade to cover up the loneliness, there is nothing to be threatened except the very idea of "being together" which indicates to the lack thereof, of that very thing that is being demanded, sought.  If you look a little deeply you'll understand.

I think what you are discussing here in this message is the matter of difference between truth and fact, pearl.
Absolutely important for understanding matter and we are coming up with it any time when being stumbled over.
Without proper understanding of this no conversation is ever possible, but arguing and struggle only.

Dear Love Ekanta,

That’s a greatest idea I’ve ever heard on this forum.

Festival in Brazil, just wonderful!

I think you are also very close to realize this idea. The only thing you need now is to finance a proper arrangement (5 star hotels and restaurants would be very welcome) of that gathering for… let’s see… well, Total number of registered users: 17457… Yes, that’ it.

Looking forward to experience very soon that greatest event in the whole history of Krishnamurti forum.
