The Immeasurable is dedicated to exploring the essential questions of our existence; who we are and where we are going. The intent is to inspire listeners to question assumptions of the mind, offering opportunities to ask deep questions into common life themes that are superficially accepted. We take no ideological positions except to encourage the spirit of inquiry. We aim to provide an in-depth look at dialogue and exploration around Krishnamurti’s teachings. There will be interviews of people who have spent time with Krishnamurti, as well as explorations around the content of his teachings, our programs, and our annual conference. The Immeasurable is a project of the Krishnamurti Center in Ojai, CA. The KFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

He challenges educators to look at the need for radical psychological change and to consider the possibility of such changes in all human beings.

The episode is titled after the book Beyond Violence. Krishnamurti said, “We have built a society which is violent and we as human beings are violent; the environment, the culture we live in, is the product of our endeavor, of our struggle, of our pain, of our appalling brutalities. So the most important question is: is it possible to end this tremendous violence within oneself?” While Jackie and Leah discuss this possibility together, they are by no means experts and this dialogue is an attempt to discover it as if for the first time.

Do we freely listen or do we bring beliefs and conclusions to our conversations and react from them? Are we more mechanical than we realize? Some topics in this series include: What is dialogue, what makes it different? What does it mean to relate to someone directly? Is there a "psychological wound" which is commonly avoided? Can we see the movement of thought without any psychological separation from it?As we continue to meet this mechanical process through direct observation and ask penetrating questions without relating to them from memory, do we begin to knock at the door of the what Krishnamurti calls "the immeasurable"?

Krishnamurti 1:05Jaap Sluijter talks about Rupert's podcast with Sam Harris and a focus on semantics and perennial questions 2:25Jaap asks about emotionality in the sense of "wanting to find comfort in a true self" 4:41Rupert talks about the search for happiness not being a trap but instead a clue to who we really are 7:10Jaap responds and says Krishnamurti says that,  'as long as there is still conflict the "other" doesn't come into being' 8:52Rupert says, "that which truly IS never comes into being" 10:29Jaap asks, "how do you approach that?" and "wouldn't the mind have to be free to come in contact with this?" 11:35Rupert gives an analogy of John Smith and King Lear to illustrate what he is saying 12:00Jaap asks about self-recognition or remembering oneself and how it is different from "remembering" where you put your shoes 16:40Rupert explains that this remembering is vertical (going within) and not along the horizontal plane of memory 17:15Jaap goes back to emotionality and wonders if there is this desire for one's "true self" which may be a kind of illusion and not an actual reality 18:28Rupert says there is something more beautiful prior to all the seeking and that who we are is prior to any kind of seeking 19:38Jaap asks, "does truth come into being via positiva or via negativa?" 21:00Rupert says all that is required is the removal of ignoring what we truly are and Rupert says this is what Krishnamurti meant when he said, "the removal of fear" 21:48Jaap again asks if this comes from removing the false or if it is instead important to try to see what is true 22:27Rupert says they are two different ways of looking at the same thing 23:22Jaap asks "how do we know it is true" 25:52Rupert says "all illusions have a reality to them" 27:00Jaap says Krishnamurti says "it's only when you don't seek a way out you see the suffering fully" 31:51Rupert agrees and asks if we were instead to turn and face the suffering, what would the experience of accepting suffering feel like? 32:27Henry points out the difficulty with turning toward something without motive 33:14Rupert asks us to do the experiment of turning toward suffering with no escape and says the common word for it is "happiness" 33:28Henry brings the King Lear analogy back up and asks if in this recognition of our true nature is mediated by the senses at all 35:55Rupert says his use of the word "knowing" has nothing to do with conceptual knowledge but instead he uses interchangeably with awareness 37:35Jaap doubts this sense "I am" because he says it has continuity 41:36Rupert responds and asks what is the reality of the illusion of continuity in your experience? 42:21Jaap asks if the "desire to be" might bring about this continuity 43:13This is the limit on notes permitted for this episode.

    J. Krishnamurti & Swami Venkatesananda – Saanen 1969 – Dialogue 2 – Can one experience the infinite?Why do we always attach ourselves to something which we suppose to be the highest?We use the word ‘experience' very easily. Can we experience the feeling of supreme ecstasy? Can we experience the infinite? Can the mind which is conditioned, prejudiced and frightened experience the highest?When fear and conditioning cease, is there experiencing of the highest at all? If the entity which is fear and anxiety has dissolved its fear, what is there to experience?What is the purpose of experience? Is there the need of experience at all?Being in a state in which there is no peace, we want to experience a state of absolute, permanent, eternal peace.If the mind can free itself from agony then what is the need to ask for an experience of the supreme?Support the show (https://theimmeasurable.org/donate)
