This is incredibly inciteful. Like he says a lot of things that most people have already realized like how we`re conditioned by society but when he puts it into such great words. How we`re the result of many immitations of other people. Freakin` great 5/5

With all do respect, the brain is a much more formidable machine than all the computers we have today put as a whole. We understand computers, but we`ll never understand how the brain TRULY works. It`s a mathematical paradox, an impossibility. Bertrand Russell explains this beautifully: a class that contains everything and does not contain itself cannot exist unless it contains itself but it can`t contain itself because it doesn`t contain itself. What you`ll get if you extrapolate is an infinite quanta.

The fact that we`re all imitations is correct and has been obvious for non-spiritualists for as long as they`ve been non-spiritualists. This is probably one of the most alluring aspects of religion, the concept of a "self" (a "soul" if you will) that`s completely unique and belongs to the bearer entirely and nobody else can touch. Bad news but you are what you eat regardless. Actions, not words.

Also he could`ve still answered the question after he was done with all that philosophical talk, he didn`t have to be a douche about it by employing abstractions to show us how wise he is.

It`s called being a Philosopher. He was merely looking at the question at a different angle

Krishnamurti wasn`t really a philosopher, but a spiritual teacher.

Virzeel he did answer the question, he said hes nobody. Thats the core of hes teaching: There is no "I", the self image that we all carry, is an illusion created by the mind
