"J. KRISHNAMURTI
The Nature of the Mind - between the 16th & 18th of april, 1982 Four discussions took place in Ojai, California between the religious philosopher J. Krishnamurti, the physicist David Bohm, the biologist Rupert Sheldrake and the psychiatrist John Hidley.
The purpose of these discussions is to explore essential questions about the mind: What is psychological disorder and what is required for fundamental psychological change? Is it possible to understand the mind, the nature of consciousness, its relationship with human suffering and the potential for change?
Jiddu Krishnamurti was sampled and used in the opening scenes of zeitgeist talking about the real revolution with in our psyche
Jiddu Krishnamurti was a renowned writer and speaker on philosophical and spiritual subjects. His subject matter included: psychological revolution, the nature of the mind, meditation, human relationships, and bringing about positive change in society. He constantly stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasized that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.
Krishnamurti was born into a Telugu Brahmin family in what was then colonial India. In early adolescence, he had a chance encounter with prominent occultist and high-ranking theosophist C.W. Leadbeater in the grounds of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras (now Chennai). He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater, leaders of the Society at the time, who believed him to be a "vehicle" for an expected World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved the worldwide organization (the Order of the Star) established to support it. He claimed allegiance to no nationality, caste, religion, or philosophy, and spent the rest of his life traveling the world as an individual speaker, speaking to large and small groups, as well as with interested individuals. He authored a number of books, among them The First and Last Freedom, The Only Revolution, and Krishnamurti's Notebook. In addition, a large collection of his talks and discussions have been published. His last public talk was in Madras, India, in January 1986, a month before his death at his home in Ojai, California.

His way was fabulous, I like the way he sort of tricks you into contemplation ~simply with his mode of speech.
This series I find quite interesting and even somewhat prophetic
