Podcasts about Krishnamurti

Citações e trechos do livro “On Education”, de Jiddu Krishnamurti.Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) foi um renomado filósofo e pensador indiano, reconhecido por sua visão única sobre espiritualidade e autotransformação.Nascido em Madanapalle, Índia, foi descoberto na juventude pela Sociedade Teosófica, que o proclamou como o "instrutor do mundo". No entanto, em 1929, Krishnamurti rejeitou essa designação, dissolveu a Ordem da Estrela e seguiu um caminho independente, rejeitando rituais e instituições. Ele passou a vida viajando pelo mundo, dando palestras e escrevendo, sempre focado em uma profunda busca pela liberdade e a verdade.Krishnamurti enfatizava a importância da autoinvestigação e da liberdade de dogmas e autoridades externas. Ele defendia que a verdade é uma terra sem caminhos e que cada indivíduo deve explorar sua própria mente para encontrar a libertação. Seus ensinamentos abordavam temas como o autoconhecimento, a meditação como atenção plena e a dissolução do ego. Ele rejeitava a ideia de mestres espirituais, insistindo que cada um é responsável por sua própria jornada interior.Jiddu Krishnamurti é amplamente considerado um dos maiores pensadores espirituais do século XX. Suas ideias influenciaram a psicologia, a educação e a filosofia. Seu legado continua vivo através de suas fundações, livros e discursos.

In this episode, “Truth is a Pathless Land,” we speak with Transformative Inquiry Program faculty member Connie Jones to explore the micropolitical stakes of revolutionary spirituality through Krishnamurti's challenge to religious prescription, psychological conditioning, and egoic identification. We discuss techniqueless meditation, the primacy of awareness over truth, and the distinction between perception and cognition as a path beyond the representational mind. Our conversation engages the unknown as the ground of creativity and examines how culturally conditioned individualism is challenged by non-dual insights. We also explore Bohmian Dialogue as a transformative practice aligned with Krishnamurti's vision—an open, non-hierarchical mode of collective inquiry that suspends judgment and cultivates shared attention. Through this lens, we consider how his praxis opens onto a micro-political awareness capable of generating new forms of being and transformation beyond all systems of conditioning. Connie Jones, Ph.D., is a sociologist of religion who joined CIIS in 1994, having taught at several colleges and theology schools. Beginning with her doctoral dissertation on the caste system in India, she has pursued a long interest in the cultures and religions of the East, including the adoption of Hindu and Buddhist beliefs and practices in the West. She researches spiritual teachers as well as the evolution of new religious movements around the world. Throughout her career in higher education, she has helped establish women's studies departments and curricula in several colleges and has published research on women's status in India and feminist methods. She has been a member of a multidisciplinary team of scholars that investigates new religious movements around the world and has published articles on movements that are based on Eastern religious belief and practice. At present, Constance has a book, Krishnamurti: Self-Inquiry, Awakening, and Transformation, in press with Cambridge University Press. In this volume she outlines the life and teaching of the enigmatic 20th century philosopher and teacher J. Krishnamurti. She serves in scholarly positions with the Gurdjieff Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man (2017- present) Tbilisi, Georgia and the Publications Committee of the Krishnamurti Foundation of America (2018-present), Ojai, California.

In this episode, Kris tells the story of Krishnamurti, one of the 20th centuries most renowned spiritual teachers. Krishnamurti was recruited at an early age by leaders of the Theosophy movement and trained with the expectation that he would become a messianic World Teacher. As an adult, after experiencing a spiritual awakening, he parted ways with the Theosophy movement. He continued to teach and write, promoting freedom from religious dogma, direct perception and self-understanding as the essentials of a spiritual life.

Krishnamurti:For nearly six decades until his passing in 1986 at the age of ninety, Jiddu Krishnamurti traversed the globe, delivering spontaneous and captivating discourses to large audiences. Krishnamurti assumed the role of an investigator rather than an authority figure, encouraging individuals to question assumptions and explore the depths of their consciousness. His extensive body of work, estimated at over 100 million words, spans more than six decades of relentless inquiry and dialogue. His teachings, compiled in numerous books and translated into multiple languages, continue to inspire seekers worldwide, inviting them to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding. J. Krishnamurti's legacy endures as a guiding light, offering timeless wisdom for those who dare to challenge conventional thinking and explore the complexities of existence.Listen to Krishnamurti's lectures on the Be Here Now Network's Freedom From The Known podcast.About David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. "He was an advocate, always, of looking at yourself. He felt that the deeper truths about the meaning of living do not come from anyone else, even if the greatest guru is in front of you, it still comes from what you yourself are truly embedded in properly. In other words, that's what you believe when you're alone, silent, not having to impress, not having to compare."– David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

James Harpur's new book, "Dazzling Darkness: The Lives and Afterlives of the Christian Mystics", begins with an account of a mystical experience that happened to him - “an implosion of light”, as he describes it. That led to his book, Dazzling Darkness, in pursuit of the path that leads to ultimate reality: God.Mark Vernon's new book, "Awake! William Blake and the Power of the Imagination", is the result of Mark's engagement with his local mystic, William Blake, as well as practices based on encounters and texts including The Cloud of Unknowing.In this conversation they explore the nature of mystical experience, as well as the mystics that speak powerfully to them, from Saint Columba to William Blake, via Marguerite Porete and Teresa of Avila, Ramana Maharshi and Krishnamurti.For more on James's book, Dazzling Darkness - https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/dazzling-darkness/For more on Mark's book, Awake! - https://www.hurstpublishers.com/book/awake/0:00 Two books on mysticism!01:55 James's mystical experience07:00 Mark's encounter through contemplative practice11:58 The Irish mystics that speak to James18:00 Living the porous life22:49 Mysticism after monasticism29:30 Church life and mystical life32:01 Seeking spiritual directors33:00 The voice of Krishnamurti40:32 The presence amidst the diversity42:30 What happens after the ecstasy?52:00 Sustaining the double vision

Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the right decision, but we forget that it's the journey and freedom of having options that makes life so meaningful.The heart is always open to new possibilities, the gut guides us, but the mind stops us. We think the mind is being rational, but that rationality is fear in disguise. It stops us from moving forward and creating the beautiful life that is meant for us.In this podcast, I share the 3 reasons we have a hard time making decisions, 3 ways to overcome them, how to make wise choices, and how to keep going and growing no matter what happens.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Why are we here? Seriously, what's the point? Why is there a universe where we lose everyone we love and everybody dies? Why is there war and famine and widespread poverty? Is there a purpose? What purpose could there be for all this suffering? Is life a cruel joke?These are the age-old questions that have puzzled humans for thousands of years. But perhaps we've been looking for answers in the wrong places. In this podcast, I share why we're truly here, how to get through life's hardest times, and how to go from wondering why we're here to feeling blessed and grateful for this precious gift of human life.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for?I know that our world can sometimes feel dark, scary, lonely and meaningless. Every hundred years, nearly every single human will die. A slow moving apocalypse is coming for each of us. Our whole world will one day be shattered and destroyed. Everyone we know and love, gone. This is the nature of this physical universe — death and rebirth.So what can we do when we feel like we can barely breathe? Is there anything that can help us when we can't even get out of bed? What can possibly break us free from our endless cycle of negative thoughts and feelings?In this podcast episode, I share this one fundamental truth about our existence that can bring us peace no matter what we are going through. If we can remember this one simple fact when times get tough, we can make it through anything. It doesn't matter if we're in prison or a prison of our own mind, peace and inner freedom are possible.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people?

We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past.The fact is, notions of regret and mistake live only in the mind. We did not choose our circumstances or our brains. These self-imposed prisons are merely illusions we carry with us.So many of us spend so much of our lives feeling regret for mistakes we've made in the past. It's part of life, to live and to learn. But the greatest mistake we could ever make is the one I share in this podcast.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

This week on Musings from the Mount, we tackle terms that might initially make you uncomfortable - obedience and free will. Far from a call to blind submission, we explore these concepts as invitations to dance with life's greater rhythms and align with our deeper nature. Drawing from Section 125 of "Ponder on This," we examine the relationship between personal sovereignty and alignment with something greater. As the text itself begins with "There is no obligation to obey," we discover how the traditional teacher-student dynamic has evolved from one of directed instruction to one of guided opportunity and personal discovery. The conversation explores the surprising truth that the limitation of choice can sometimes expand our creative potential - like musicians in an orchestra agreeing to play in the same key or an artist working within constraints to discover new possibilities. We discuss how this applies to our spiritual practice and everyday choices. Whether you're navigating personal freedom, questioning authority, or seeking to understand your role in life's greater symphony, this episode offers fresh perspectives on what it means to consciously choose alignment rather than submit to external demands. Join us as we explore how freedom and obedience can exist not as opposites, but as complementary aspects of an authentic spiritual path. Meditation Mount and HeartLight Productions are pleased to present Musings from the Mount – a weekly podcast with host Joseph Carenza and guests in conversation exploring a range of topics drawn from the Ageless Wisdom teachings.

Mick Brown discusses his book 'The Nirvana Express', which chronicles the West's engagement with Indian spirituality from the mid-19th century to the present. He explores key figures such as Edwin Arnold, Krishnamurti, Meher Baba, and Osho, highlighting their influence on Western perceptions of Eastern teachings.

Does every human being have Buddha nature and Hitler potential within them? Are we destined to exist within one of these extremes? Are we forced to live according to our programming — genetic, cultural and familial — or are we capable of rewriting our future? Do we all truly have the potential to achieve Buddhahood, Christ consciousness, and Krishna consciousness. And if so, how?The more we understand what makes a person who they are, the more we discover how to change ourselves. The more we change ourselves, the more we instinctively help others change and the more we can shape society into a more peaceful and loving place. Then soon we'll have a billion little Buddhas running around.In this podcast, I explore how we can escape those darker impulses of the human condition. I talk about how we can nurture those better angels of our nature. And I share how we can break free from our past to create a more incredible future.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

The Guru has friends to help.” “Stop looking. Start living. Your Yoga is the living of it.” “No more gymnastics. No more spiritual gymnastics.

Trong một thế giới mà thành công thường được định nghĩa bằng địa vị, tài sản hay bằng việc “trở thành ai đó”, nhiều người, đặc biệt là người trẻ, thường loay hoay giữa áp lực thành công và khát khao sống có ý nghĩa. Chúng ta dường như ít có thời gian để ngồi lại và tự hỏi, mình đang thật sự muốn gì, cần gì? Lúc này, cuốn sách “Hạnh phúc tuổi trẻ” (Happy is the one who is nothing) của Krishnamurti xuất hiện như một lời mời gọi bạn quan sát và nhận thức thực tại, với sự đơn sơ, trong trẻo của nó – mà không bị ràng buộc bởi những khuôn mẫu, sợ hãi hay ham muốn.Support the show

Relationships are both the greatest sources of happiness we can find in our lives, and the greatest sources of pain and suffering. Not only can relationships cause us tremendous heartache, but the lack or loss of them can be even more heart-wrenching.So what are we supposed to do? Live as hermits in solitude? Live as doormats to be taken advantage of? Live in constant conflict? Or is there a better way, a way we can enjoy the delights of companionship and skip the conflict and pain?In this podcast, I talk about a very important 3-step process for improving all our relationships. We can't control others, but if we follow these simple steps we can make a powerful change for ourselves and how we relate to others.*****If you ever feel like my words brought a change in your life, and want to show your SUPPORT for what I am doing, click here.

We all want our life to be all peaks all the time. We want maximum enjoyment, pleasure, satisfaction and achievement every moment of our waking lives. Even when we're asleep, we want the best dreams on the best mattress and sheets. We want to always be at the peak of the rollercoaster of life. We want to reach the peak of the mountain without doing the hard, grudging work to get there. Not only do we want it, but we've come to expect it. And that is one of the major causes of suffering in our modern and comfortable lives.In this podcast episode, I explore if living life a life of just peaks is possible, if it would actually be a good thing, and if it would truly make us happy. I talk about how we can shift our perspective so that we can appreciate those inevitable dips. I share the truth about the fleeting and unsatisfactory nature of peaks. And I discuss how we can learn to find the joy in every step we take on this beautiful journey of life.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Why do we give great advice to others and yet we have a hard time following it ourselves? What is the root cause of our own self-sabotage? Why do we keep making the same mistakes over and over again? And what can we do to break the cycle?In this podcast, I talk about why we keep failing to make positive changes and I share a simple 3-step process for breaking free from that inner voice that keeps giving us bad ideas.If we want to stop making life hard for ourselves, we have to get to the source of the problem. Exerting immense effort and discipline is exhausting and unsustainable. Only by understanding the true nature of self-sabotage can we free ourselves from this habit once and for all. Here is how to do exactly that.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Singlehood often masquerades as freedom while functioning as a self-imposed panopticon. Society frames solitude as either a sacred act of self-love or a pathological failure to bond, yet these binaries obscure a deeper truth: Choosing singlehood frequently reflects a hypervigilant dance between trauma and transcendence, control and surrender, echoing Krishnamurti's warning that “the observer is the observed.”

We are all addicts. Every single of one of us is addicted. And it's not to our phone, alcohol, food, work, substances, gambling, sex, shopping or whatever else you may think it is. Some of us are wild and out of control. And some of us are able to manage our addiction. But we all struggle, we exhaust ourselves putting forth tremendous effort to refrain, and in the end we either cave in or temporarily fight off. But we all have this one addiction, and it is the cause of all our other addictions.In this podcast, I share what this universal addiction is. I talk about how we get it, how to notice it, and how to free ourselves from it. This addiction is the root cause to all of our other addictions. It's why we often swap one addiction for another. It's why we can seem to have many addictions or an "addictive personality."As long as we focus on the symptoms of our addiction — the substances or the activities — we will never be free. When we get to the root cause of our addiction, all addictions effortlessly fade away. Here's how to do exactly that.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Who's your best friend? Did you say yourself? You should, because there's no one more important to you than you. You may think there is, but you can only experience other people through your own state of consciousness. So your state of consciousness is the most important determining factor for your relationships and your happiness in life.So how do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself? Are you loving and kind, or critical and harsh? Do you spend quality time with yourself uninterrupted and undistracted, or do you avoid yourself? Do you dread spending extended alone time with just yourself, or do you love it? The answer to this question is the real measure of your happiness. In this podcast, I talk about the nature of our relationship with ourselves. I share 3 simple but powerful steps for improving that relationship. I talk about a practical tool that a shaman in Peru taught me for giving ourselves some much needed self-love. And I share how we can deepen our relationship with ourself in a way that improves our relationships with everyone around us.Remember, if the source of happiness was on top of the world's tallest mountain or at the bottom of the deepest ocean, it would have been discovered long ago and everyone would make a pilgrimage to this place. But instead, the universe put that source of happiness in the last place anyone would think to look — within.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Lässt sich die Liebe durch Lust auf Sex steigern? 8 Impulse, mit denen das gelingen kann. Am Anfang der Liebe ist alles einfach. Man trägt die rosarote Brille, ist auf Wolke 7. Doch dann kommt die Gewohnheit, der Rausch lässt nach. Alltag, Stress, Kinder, Job, die Liebe hat es schwer und oft erleben Paare, dass es dann auch mit dem Sex nicht mehr läuft wie früher, was wiederum die Liebe in Gefahr bringen kann.

There is an epidemic sweeping the world. You may have it and not even know it.That disease is called denialism, and it's not just psychological. It manifests as physical symptoms and can negatively impact every aspect of our life.We live in a world where appearances matter more than truth. We are rewarded if we can shove down our pain, ignore our stress, and drown our sorrows. But when all of those problems bubble under the surface, eventually they explode.Denial is one of the major, if not the number one cause, of chronic pain, addiction, mental crises, anger outbursts, and many of the physical disorders and diseases in our world.The fact is, we need to feel to heal. We need to address what's going on beneath the surface so that we can release it in a healthy way.

How do sabbaticals assist with returning us to classrooms when we are feeling more rested, more centered, more ourselves?

This week we connect to world-renowned theoretical physicist David Bohm and spiritual philosopher J. Krishnamurti. Although they come from two completely different backgrounds, they worked together to try to understand what thought is. They had a series of discussions and wrote a book together called The Theory of Thought. In this episode, they help us understand the mechanism of thought from their nonphysical perspective.

What if your entire life is being shaped by wounds you don't even know you have?Most of us carry emotional scars buried so deep, we're not even aware they exist. And because we don't see them, we don't know we need healing—let alone how to begin.Trauma isn't always dramatic. Sometimes, it's subtle. It's the weight of things unspoken, inherited pain passed down from generations, childhood moments that left marks, or a society that never taught us how to feel safe.The real issue? Our world doesn't teach us how to heal. It teaches us to distract, to numb, to escape. And so we go on, letting the past quietly control the present.In my latest podcast, I share a simple but powerful 3-step process for healing emotional wounds. It's a way to break the cycle—for yourself, and for those around you.You don't have to live stuck in pain.You don't have to pass it on.Here's how to start healing—even if you don't know where to begin.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

I've been in a pendulum swing of suffering and joy lately—and as ever, I hope what I share is a popcorn trail through the dark for you. Because there's always another side. This episode is inspired by a poem from D.H. Lawrence that's become a mantra for me: “Are you willing to be made nothing?” The Phoenix only renews when she's burnt to flocculent ash. Immortal bird, anyone? This is my unfiltered download on what it means to truly rise. I'm talking about sacred surrender, resilience as your true nature, why guilt is a pathway to innocence, and how even a day of crying in bed can be an act of devotion.  Plus, I riff on my philosopher boyfriends (Krishnamurti and Leonard Cohen) and my metaphysical bestie, Manly P. Hall.  This one's personal and poetic—just how I like it. MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The Rituals Class – A free live class to help you choose—and stick to, better habits. Saturday, March 29 at 9am PT | 12pm ET. How To Be Loving – For deeper teachings on Acceptance, Compassion + Soul Qualities Gail Larsen's last speaking Immersion.

Are you waiting on better habits to fix your life? We're going esoterically practical today. I'm talking about the difference between habits and rituals. Habits are from the intellect. Rituals are from the heart. One can burn you out, the other can bless your life. In Eps 174 of With Love, Danielle, I walk you through a handful of practices that have supported me over the years: a ritual for connecting to your inner child, a list of what you trust (to calm the nervous system), chanting your own name (yep, it's powerful), and looking into your own eyes with loving-kindness.  You'll leave with real things you can try today—and a personal invitation to my free class: THE RITUALS CLASS Practices to help you choose—and stick to, better habits.Saturday, March 29 9am PT | 12pm ET daniellelaporte.com/rituals In this episode: The real difference between rituals and habits (and why it matters) Why most habit advice leads to burnout, not peace How ritual infuses your actions with meaning, energy, and love Why discipline can numb the mind (Krishnamurti said it best) How to bless your habits with Divine support Mentioned in this episode:  Join the free class: THE RITUALS CLASS Saturday, March 29 | 9am PT | 12pm ET daniellelaporte.com/rituals The Heart Centered Membership – Spiritual direction, monthly soul sessions, beautiful community and practices that help you stay steady.
