Dialogue with Krishnamurti...


Krishnamurti:
We are concerned with the whole of life, not just a career, nine to five, how we live, what we do, what our thinking is, whether there is affection, care, love, compassion. All that is part of life. But we are so conditioned to this idea that we must work and create a structure of a society that demands that you work from morning until night. The speaker refuses to play into that rat race.
Krishnamurti:
, we want security which we think we have, which we haven't got. So will you go into this and find out if you can  free yourself from that 'rat race'and to find out one must exercise capacity, intelligence, not say, "I won't do it". You don't do it because you are intelligent, not because you are told, or you have read in some book, or some philosopher. I think it is very clear.
This is clear we have no security at all, I may be sure to have food yes but the division between myself and myself( me and not me) and so of myself and others is insecurity because the only relative security we will ever have is by willingly cooperating and sharing....the ongoing competition hiding in fact a process of elimination a direct side effect of the conceptual analysing prevents that at all level, for the super wealthy as well, as tomorrow or now the people may turn their anger towards them and their billions saved won't prevent them from a tragic death, so that in fact they are like the rest of us living insecurity...
The occidental world is loaded with fear of tomorrow when we have too much food all over the place apart from where some will die of starvation...that is insane..
Security or what we call security, is a matter of thought, our other capacities are not concerned with that...what takes place is that thought forecasts the future X, y Y or z, where it sees death : death denies to thought the right to seek for absolute continuity, but does not deny the right to seek for relative continuity....if I deny death as a fact which we all do apart from exceptions, "I", so, can seek for absolute security which is non existent = suffering...suffering simply says: this is not allowed, that is all...suffering is a good friend...
Relative security is to be found only in cooperation and equal sharing, never in the eliminating process called competition..we all refuse that apart from exceptions...this is where this world will have to go....or not, as we still can collectively accept the rat race...out of ignorance so insanity..as this prevents all our capacities to flourish ....
this is what we are up to ,seeking for the absolute where there is only the relative...so whatever amount of wealth stolen to the group we have, what takes place is a feeling of insecurity because I look for some absolute which is a dream, false, non existent...
The leaders are putting a lot of emphasis on that elimination, called competition to hide itself better, because they need that to steal us with our consent to be stolen in exchange for whatever...it creates total division between people, then stealing is a piece of cake..in the meantime the leaders cooperate up to what is possible to do within the limits of their own greed and violence...
