Living Right Now
Insights of Krishnamurti and David Bohm
Welcome to a magical tour into a world beyond our thinking. Our guides are two men who shared a deep passion for solving the mystery of existence.
Jiddu Krishnamurti and David Bohm discussed the fundamentals of human life and raised radical views about the essence of living.
Living Right Now means seeing life as it actually is. We do NOT do so now because we are conditioned, programmed by ideas, concepts, images, and ideals. However, there is a world where our egos can never enter. The journey starts from serious interest to find out and ends when we see that we are the world.
Key Insights
1. We are the world, and the world is us.
The world is whole and one, there is nothing separate in the universe. Everything is internally connected to everything, it is a flowing movement.
2. Thinking is the root cause of human crisis.
Thinking is a conditioned reflex, reacting automatically according to our experiences and knowledge. The idea of a separate 'me' is a mistake – it is a tragedy!
3. Seeing the world is being the world.
To see the world as it is, we need insight and intelligence. Direct perception connects us with the world and frees us from the movement of time.
Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) is one of the greatest thinkers and religious teachers of our times. He spoke worldwide to large audiences about the need for a radical change in human mind. His books have been published in over 50 languages.
