J. Krishnamurti: Freedom from the Known

Freedom from the Known


Description

Born in poverty in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti (1895-1986) became a leading spiritual and philosophical thinker whose ideas continue to influence us today. George Bernard Shaw declared that he was the most beautiful human being he had ever seen and Aldous Huxley was one of his close friends. Whether debating politics with Nehru, discussing theories with Rupert Sheldrake and Iris Murdoch, or challenging his students not to take his words at face value, Krishnamurti engaged fully with every aspect of life. He is regarded by many modern religious figures as a great teacher, an extraordinary individual with revolutionary insights; Joseph Campbell, Alan Watts, Eckhart Tolle and Deepak Chopra are all indebted to his writings. "Freedom from the Known" is one of Krishnamurti's most accessible works. Here, he reveals how we can free ourselves radically and immediately from the tyranny of the expected. By changing ourselves, we can alter the structure of society and our relationships. The vital need for change and the recognition of its very possibility form an essential part of this important book's message.

Angelina has been invited by her teacher Miss Lilly to dance at the Royal Palace in Mouseland! Anxious to impress the King and Queen and their three perfect princesses, poor Angelina tries very hard to please everyone and put on the perfect show. But things don t seem to be going her way . . . until the dancing begins. Angelina proves to be the perfect teacher for the princesses, and together they perform a magical fairy ballet for a cheering crowd. Readers will find here not only the country s leading conservative thinker offering a passionate defense of limited government, but also a highly independent mind whose views on feminism, evolution and the death penalty, for example defy ideological convention. "Things That Matter "also features several of Krauthammer s major path-breaking essays on bioethics, on Jewish destiny and on America s role as the world s superpower that have profoundly influenced the nation s thoughts and policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always penetrating, often bemused reflections on everything from border collies to Halley s Kurt Cobain: The Last Session free ebook Comet, from Woody Allen to Winston Churchill, from the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly thrown outfield assist.
