David Bohm: Why do you say it’s not attention?

Krishnamurti: Because when you are not attentive you see things which you’ve never seen before.

David Bohm: Let’s get this clear. You are saying there is a perception beyond attention, which comes unexpectedly.

Krishnamurti: It cannot be invited. It’s like saying, ‘I’ll be attentive in order to receive truth.’ That’s nonsense.

David Bohm: The word ‘attention’ means basically to stretch yourself towards something. Now, you are saying that, in some sense, when you are not stretched out, something may come unexpectedly.

Krishnamurti: That’s why when you say it is attention, I say it’s not quite that.

David Bohm: But is attention still connected with thought?

Krishnamurti: No, concentration is connected with thought.

David Bohm: But there is an attention, you say, which is not connected with thought, but still it’s not what we want.

Krishnamurti: No, it’s not the whole.

David Bohm: Not quite what we need.

Krishnamurti: So there is an awareness which is not concentration, an awareness in which there is no choice, an awareness which moves—and attention. In that attention there is a stretching out to capture. That is attention in the field of reality to capture something. To me that’s not sufficient.

The medium is the message. If there is no thinker. Krishnamurti is talking about a higher stage of consciousness. One which elevates you above the choice of making a thought happen. If you master it. NOTE: my use of the term "stage of consciousness" does not imply a "state in consciousness". To arrive at the highest form of one's consciousness requires a placement.

I have studied hard on this subject of what destruction is. It can only be a subscritpion to fulfilling sense and comprehension- combined with reasoning truthfully. You're awareness of this is destruction. You dismantle and deconstruct the enmity of conventions.

Insecurity vs truth is a novel idea. It is not about being per se insecure. But - to be so profound in your thinking that your grievances are met with intelligence.

I am a woke Liberal 🇨🇦. Why people condemn this is the same group of individuals that lack the shallowness in themselves to see what they've failed to adopt in society. Only they can't see it. They can't see how shallow they are to woke. In fact the movement they create is their demise.

I am not a political figure in the public eye. But.we are all political allies in private.

God bless.

Fate

So everything we understand as truth cocoons into a dogma. Some infertile land? I'd identify with my form in creating truth and test it against my better judgement. Isn't that the purpose we all share.

Realism vs indirect Realism

I am a criss-cross between the metaphysics of Kant/Aroatotle. On the far left of the non-political spectrum.

The main difference?

From what I can tell upon this map, is that both Berkley and Locke share dystopic right wing views impartial to true realist thought, rooted in subjectivity independent of external world. That is my variation of it.

(I agree. But)...we all have very real Relationships with why we become artists. I take being starving as an artist very - very Seriously. It is the only metaphor for it I can Relate myself to. How seriously is the question. (Not many people think about.) What my Point here is that no matter the famine as an artist, I will always be faithful to it. it's the monkey in my brain and the world on your back. If you connect the brain with the world, the objective observable world, nothing can take this away from me. Marco Almeida 2025 - The Peg.
