Krishnamurti and Transforming the World’s Mind

Abstract

For this article, I have adapted a talk I gave for an online conference centering around Jiddu Krishnamurti’s scholarship to address the theme of “a world in crisis.” I share a narrative of my experience discovering Krishnamurti’s work by way of introducing the idea of innate human intelligence as distinct from the mind-led intellect. This distinction is critical to our understanding of how we perceive the world, demonstrating that there are two ways of knowing: one is conceptual, and one is actual, we could say, or beyond concepts.
