Yeah, that book has been recommended to me many times. It's on my 'near future list'.

LetGo Wrote:i just happen to be reading "The Ending of Time" Krishnamurti and David Bohm. im only halfway through but its great.
it also shares the basic idea that Eckhart Tolle talks about.
Yeah, Tolle and Krishnamurti 'got it', and that 'it', while not difficult to 'get' on an intellectual level I think, is not so easy to accomplish in practice. Their understanding also stronly echoes things Ra said.

I haven't read Krishnamurti yet, also on my 'near future list', but for the developmental level that 'I'm' at, it's the right teachings at the right time.

Have you got some recommendations, that have satisfied you with 'going further'? Krishnamurti I've noticed, became very serious later in his life, as if he became despondent with the state of mankind. Of course, as we know from Ra, if he only helped 'one' person, then he was successful, so I think he was successful. It has never been a numbers game with STO anyway. I've watched a UN speech he gave the other day, and he seemed to me so disgusted with the hypocricy and lip service in that room. It's of course most likely that I was merely projecting my own feelings about the UN onto Krishnamurti.
