An accurate observation is not an image because there is no observer in the mix. It is the observer who uses images; for the observer himself is an image. You seem to know all the theory of this and yet refuse to look at it directly.
Do you hear the absolutism in this statement? Are you aware of your arrogance? What makes you so sure you know anything? You know nothing about the observer and observation other than what Krishanmurti said.

We all know the theory because that’s what we’re here for. You say you don’t want to play this game because you’ve graduated. Yet here you are.
Apparently so, and yet you don’t go beyond it. It’s the wrong motive for being here.

You say you have gone beyond it, but clearly you have not.
I have not said that; you are putting those words into my mouth. It has nothing to do with me going anywhere. I am saying that you have not gone beyond the theoretical exploration of all this, which means that there are motives and images galore. You can’t say, ‘Clearly you have not,’ unless the whole picture is clear, and it isn’t. One can’t have clarity in just one corner and darkness everywhere else.
Look, we are nothing but the relationship we have with one another. Why are we content with theoretical relationships of any kind? An image is a theory. The images you have of me or the images I have of you are all theoretical. And from these images of each other arise our own psychological motives for power and security. Are we aware of all this in an instant, ending it and moving on? Or are we going to continue the stupid game?
How would you know, seeing as you are in your corner in darkness?
Until you see how presumptuous you are, you know nothing but what you think you know.

I will continue the stupid game. You need to go where you can pretend you’re beyond the stupid game.
Darling, there is absolutely nowhere else to go. The whole of life is right here.
