Krishnamurti had many adverse childhood events (trauma), poverty, death of his mother, caning at school, âabductionâ by Leadbeater, trafficked to âastral planesâ, and then on to other continents to protect him from Leadbeater. Today, in the US, one in four girls and one in six boys will be sexually abused before age 18. It affects them for life.
It was good to listen to âTruth is a pathless landâ speech, as Krishnamurti was embarking to set himself âunconditionally freeâ from the Theosophists. Krishnamurti, the man, was who he was. I accept what is, his flaws, hypocrisy, inconsistency, or dishonesty, because there is beauty in much of his works, even if it was the only âgigâ he knew.
Iâm not familiar with his hypocrisy and dishonesty. Could you be specific?
âThe real story is more interesting.â
The story in my head is the real one!
And its more exciting as it contains a supernatural motif.
Inquiry, youâll find out on your own. But to reiterate, Krishnamurti was a very traumatized youth and that has its impact in adulthood relationships. He was a pioneer in self-discovery and self-help, when he wasnât in denial.
Beauty, insight, hyperbole, inconsistency, disappointment, beatitude ⌠yes!
We can always find fault with anyone because we wouldnât be human if we were faultless, flawless, or âimpeccableâ as the Don Juan character in the Carlos Castenada books was striving to be as he sought immortality, believing thatâs what was required to attain it.
But Krishnamurti was interested only in awakening to what actually is - not to what is believed should be - which requires emptiness, freedom from the known.
How do you know any of it is true? People make lies about anybody. Some say Jesus was gay!
Examiner, the biographies have been written, Mary Lutyens, Pupul Jayakar, Radha Sloss, to name a few authors. I cannot possibly know if any of it is true. But it seems to me Krishnamurtiâs teachings are the phoenix that rises from the ashes of his trauma. There may be flaws in the teachings, as in the man, but he did say to find out for ourselves.
His combover is the phoenix that rises from the trauma.
Though I agree : everything has played its part.
Still looking outside for not understanding the teaching?
Is there are flaws itâs within us, neither in the teaching neither in K. Please wake up!
let me correct my flaw: If there are flaws, itâs within us!
Neither in the teaching neither in K we can know them at most suspect, they stay unknown to us .
Yes, unlike the typical comb-over which swoops from one side or the other, Kâs swooped from both sides, like wings!
Could this be your belief? If you say,Yes, youâre no fool. But if you have no doubt that itâs true, youâre fooling yourself.
Thatâs because K never followed trends. If anything, he set them. His comb over never caught on however. Thank goodness for that.
Itâs not too late to bring back the Phoenix comb-overâŚ
Years ago, this was posted. I thought it was familiar. Still think his life was intriguing.
For whom, if I may ask? 
By the way, are you equally concerned about yourself, the same as you are about the man?
It is intriguing for myself and would be for millions of potential Netflix viewers if a series of Kâs life, with no holds barred, is produced. He spent 21 years in training with the Theosophists. There are plenty of biographies to use for the series. K left a legacy pointing to something and left it up to us to find out if there is anything to it.
There is no need for concern for the man as he died years ago, and I have no concern for myself, other than a cough Iâm medicating.
