Jiddu Krishnamurti

This is a rather lengthy interview (16 parts) with Jiddu Krishnamurti and David Bohm.

I thought it was important to start any discussion of politics by first addressing the inner self. I think that in order for any of us to analyze or make any kinds of judgements or assessments of the outside world, we need to understand who we are and what we are. How many of us attempt this? Have you ever even stopped to think about it? Well, many people have thought about it extensively. I think as I study the inner self (mind or soul or psyche or ego, etc.) that it begins to change my view of the outside. So as I change inside, my perceptions change and my politics invariable change as well. I think the discussion must start with the inside. So I guess these entries are going to interweave politics and self exploration.

At any rate, if you get through the videos above, I think it gets you into a state of questioning a great many things, which is where I think you want to be.
