Mind is a Myth

Beschreibung

In "Mind is a Myth," U.G. Krishnamurti challenges conventional notions of the self and consciousness, positing that what we perceive as the 'mind' is merely an elaborate fabrication of thought and societal conditioning. With an incisive, often provocative literary style, Krishnamurti's work defies categorization, blending philosophical rigor with an experiential approach to self-exploration. The text engages with themes found in Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, scrutinizing the very foundations of thought, belief, and identity while advocating for an immediate, unmediated experience of reality without the interference of mental constructs. U.G. Krishnamurti, an influential figure in contemporary philosophy, spent much of his life exploring the nature of thought and human existence. His unique perspective stems from a profound personal transformation prompted by a series of intense experiences in his youth, leading him to reject not only traditional spiritual paths but also the very frameworks that define our understanding of the mind. This background lends authenticity and depth to his exploration in "Mind is a Myth," as he invites readers to reassess their assumptions about selfhood and awareness. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in psychology, philosophy, and spirituality. Krishnamurti's radical insights encourage readers to question the validity of their mental constructs and, ultimately, progress toward a more liberated state of being. Whether you are an ardent seeker of truth or a curious skeptic, "Mind is a Myth" promises to provoke thought and foster deep introspection.

Autor

Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti (1918-2007), better known as U.G., was an Indian speaker who questioned the state of enlightenment as a real thing. Instead of using the word "enlightenment", he used "calamity" and "natural state" to describe an event in his life. He claimed that the return to the natural state is a rare, a causal, biological occurrence, an event which he referred to in his own life as "the calamity". Because of this, he discouraged people from pursuing the "natural state" as a spiritual goal. He rejected the very basis of thought and in doing so negated all systems of thought and knowledge. Hence he explained his assertions were experiential and not speculative - "Tell them that there is nothing to understand."
