Finally I finished reading "Ending of Time" by Jiddu Krishnamurti, well that is his conversation with David Bohm, who was scientist. Jiddu is constantly repeating that human mind is not personal, and insight into the nature of reality happens, it doesn't happen to me or to you, it just happens. They were discussing the possibility of healing the mind and the brain, they kind of agreed that mind which has an insight will renew all the cells in the brain and that such a brain can live even 200 years. That seems very much like an idea which some yogis have shown to be true. Of course he agreed that length of life is secondary to the quality of life now. He was not giving any practice, more like "wait and see", which are the words I heard from Papaji. Personally (there is no person :) I belive that he was wrong here and that it was one big obstacle in transmission of his massage, but OK, people might argue about it. There was one nice methapor:"material universe is like a body of the universal mind" and in reality you are that eternal now which holds that. In some other place he said that ground exist which is totally imovable, which means that if all other things fall apart or change, this one "thing" is rock solid and will never wither. Another interesting point: difference between universal mind and the ground, he was holding a belief that the ground is even beyond the universal mind and that is similar to the Spirit and God in christian metodology, or Atma and Brahman in vedas. Other important words: attention, listening, understanding, willingness. When one gives all his heart, mind, all his being towards this inquiry then there is possibility to go deeper and deeper where true compassion, love, inteligence and peace exist. This would be like kind of very brief impression after reading this book.
love & Light
