 A short introduction to Krishnamurti
In his late 20's, Krishnamurti began indeed to experience an intense spiritual awakening, but what he started to teach was closer to the Advaita philosophy than the esoteric tradition of Theosophy.
Krishnamurti however, asserts that there is such a "Reality", a Truth who's beauty is the fulfillment of everything each and everyone is looking for, but this reality is not necessarily dissociated from everyday life, nor necessarily reserved for the selected few.
Krishnamurti's expression of this reality is very close to the one of the Tao - an Intelligence that not only sustains the whole universe, but that can also guide our every move if we align with it.

 On J Krishnamurti from Buddhist letter
Krishnamurti often refers to this process as one ofdivisiveness and insularity.For Krishnamurti the ego is a process that consumes nervous energy in orderto set itself apart from the rest of the universe.
Krishnamurti's view of enlightenment is not that of a gradualone which increases slowly over years of hard work, because that sort ofego-related process creates its own delay and thus insures that the end isnever attained.
Had Krishnamurti sat in the place of the Buddha, andhad he made but one rule, it might have been "know thyself", and all otherrules would have been declared to be minor and therefore to be discarded.

Krishnamurti: I have very carefully explained what I mean by revolt, but I shall use two different words to make it much clearer.
To revolt within society in order to make it a little better, to bring about certain reforms, is like the revolt of prisoners to improve their life within the prison walls; and such revolt is no revolt at all, it is just mutiny.

 Krishnamurti and David Bohm on thought, conflict, and dialogue
Krishnamurti (1895-1985) spent the last 55 years of his life travelling throughout the world speaking with people about the fundamental human problem of conflict in the world and the activity and nature of human thought.
What he was seriously proposing is that all this disorder, which is the root cause of such widespread sorrow and misery, and which prevents human beings from properly working together, has its root in the fact that we are ignorant of the general nature of our own processes of thought.
Through close attention to and observation of this activity of thought, Krishnamurti feels that he directly perceives that thought is a material process, which is going on inside of the human being in the brain and nervous system as a whole.
