The Immeasurable is dedicated to exploring the essential questions of our existence; who we are and where we are going. The intent is to inspire listeners to question assumptions of the mind, offering opportunities to ask deep questions into common life themes that are superficially accepted. We take no ideological positions except to encourage the spirit of inquiry. We aim to provide an in-depth look at dialogue and exploration around Krishnamurti’s teachings. There will be interviews of people who have spent time with Krishnamurti, as well as explorations around the content of his teachings, our programs, and our annual conference. The Immeasurable is a project of the Krishnamurti Center in Ojai, CA. The KFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
The Immeasurable Podcast highlights the fourth discussion of a five-part series titled Can Humanity Change? This series was recorded in 1978 at Brockwood Park, where J. Krishnamurti spoke with Buddhist scholars.
J. Krishnamurti with Buddhist Scholars - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 5: Death
Series: Can Humanity Change?
Q: Is there life after death?
When the body dies the desires, the anxieties, the tragedies and the misery go on. They go on contributing to the vast common stream in which mankind lives. Each of us is representative of the whole of that stream.
By inquiring into the whole nature of suffering can one end it and be out of the stream? The free inquiry into suffering is insight. As long as I accept any authority, Buddhist or otherwise, can there be insight?
For the man who is no longer a manifestation of the stream, intelligence, love and compassion are operating.
Q: How do you discriminate between mindfulness, awareness and attention?

J. Krishnamurti with Buddhist Scholars - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 4: Truth
Series: Can Humanity Change?
Q: Is there a difference between reality and truth?
All the things that thought has put together -- literature, poetry, painting, illusions, gods and symbols -- that is reality for us. But nature is not created by thought.
Can the mind, the network of all the senses apprehend, see and observe truth?
Psychological time is the invention of thought, which we use as a means of achieving enlightenment. Is such time an illusion? Is truth measurable by words? Truth is timeless, thought is of time, and the two cannot run together.
Without love, without compassion, truth cannot be. I cannot go to truth, I cannot see truth. Truth can only exist when the self is not.

J. Krishnamurti with Buddhist Scholars - Brockwood Park 1978-79 - Buddhist Scholars Discussion 3 - Does Free Will Exist?
Series: Can Humanity Change?
We say free will exists because we can choose between this and that. Apart from material things, why is there choice?
Is there an action in which there is no effort of will at all and therefore no choice?
Why does thought identify with sensations? Is there duality in identification?
How did thought begin in me? Was it handed down by parents, education, environment, the past?
Does the word create the thought or thought creates words?
Why does thought enter into action? Is there an action which is complete, total, whole, not partial?
Can you see someone as a whole being? Then there is love.

J. Krishnamurti with Buddhist Scholars - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 2: Can We Live Without Identifying?
Series: Can Humanity Change?
*Q: What is the state of the mind that is in the process of dying?
What is death? Is there life after death, is there a continuity? If not, what is the point of living at all?
Why is there the whole process of identification, my possessions, what I will be, success, power, prestige? The identification process is the essence of the self.
Is it possible to live in daily life without this identification process which brings about the structure and the nature of the self which is the result of thought?
Is it possible to be free of the "me", which produces all this chaos, this constant effort? Can thought end? Is it possible to live a daily life with death, which is the ending of the self?*

J. Krishnamurti with Buddhist Scholars - Brockwood Park 1978 - Discussion 1: Are You Not Saying What the Buddha Said?
Series: Can Humanity Change?
*Q: Does knowledge condition human beings?
Knowledge means accumulation of information, experience, facts, theories and principles, the past and the present. This bundle we call knowledge.
Can a mind that is burdened with knowledge see truth?
Will we get more knowledge by reading what the Buddha or Christ said? We are full of this accumulative instinct that we think will help us to jump into heaven.
Can I look at the fact without the word with all its intimations, content and tradition?
Can I look at something without the association of words and past remembrances? Then only I see the fact.*

Welcome back to The Immeasurable Podcast. This episode comes from a talk titled “War and Peace” at the 2022 KFA May Gathering. Despite the persistent aspiration of every generation to achieve world peace and end war, violence, and terror, these conflicts continue unabated. Most people envision a peaceful world for their children, yet the cycle of violence and ethnic hatred persists.
In this talk, Mark Habeeb raises the question of whether we should abandon this seemingly unattainable goal or go deeper into understanding why we perpetuate the very actions we wish to cease. We may be challenged to have the courage to look within ourselves and recognize that the roots of war and violence lie in our own interactions and relationships.
Mark Habeeb is a Professor of Global Politics and Security at Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service in Washington, DC, where his specialty is international negotiation, conflict management, and the role of identity processes in group violence. He is a Fellow of the Middle East Studies Association, a member of the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, and a member of the Board of Virginia Humanities. From 1988 to 1991 he was Chairman of the Forum for US-Soviet Dialogue. He has published widely in his field and in 2021 published his first novel. Mark received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University and also studied at the University of Sussex and the Washington Psychoanalytic Institute. He has studied the teachings of Krishnamurti for over 30 years.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Brockwood Park 1980 - Dialogue 15: Can Human Problems Be Solved?
Series: The Ending of Time
*Why have human beings not been able to resolve human, daily problems of life? What prevents the solution of these problems completely?
When there is attention there is no center from which I attend.
A poor man wants to be rich and a rich man wants to be richer. It is a movement of becoming, becoming, both outwardly and inwardly. Though it brings a great deal of pain and sometimes pleasure, this sense of becoming, fulfilling, achieving psychologically has made my life into all that it is.
Is love something that is common to all of us?*For more information about J. Krishnamurti and the Krishnamurti foundations:

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Brockwood Park 1980 - Dialogue 14: The Mind in the Universe
Series: The Ending of Time
*Is thought a material process?
Is it possible to have a mind that is really, completely empty of all the things that thought has put together?
Only the insight into the nature of reaction ends psychological reaction.
There is absolute stillness and in that stillness, or from that stillness, there is a movement which is everlastingly new.
Can the silent movement of order affect my daily life when I have deep inward psychological order?
Freedom is not a reaction.
There is the universal mind, and the human mind can be of that when there is freedom.*

Stephen takes us on a journey through the intricate layers of consciousness, urging us to examine our fundamental perceptions and assumptions about reality. Through rigorous self-inquiry and a deep exploration of the self, he challenges us to go beyond the limitations of our conditioned minds and embrace a state of profound peace and clarity. Although it cannot be sought out, a quiet mind may be necessary to adequately address the ongoing challenges facing humanity. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of the quiet mind and its potential to revolutionize our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Brockwood Park 1980 - Dialogue 13: The Ending of Psychological Knowledge
Series: The Ending of Time
*Why are our minds always operating in a certain direction?
What shall I do, as a human being, realizing that knowledge is naturally, inevitably forming a groove in which I live? How am I to break it down?
Pure observation, which is actually listening, is that pure observation love?
When I ask you to tell me what to do, I am back in the field of knowledge.
We have tried everything – fasting, every kind of thing to get rid of the ‘me’ with all its knowledge, with all its illusions. One tries to identify with something else, which is the same.

You’re listening to The Immeasurable Podcast andthis episode is an exploration on education between Darcy Gray and Jaap Sluijter. Darcy Gray's interest in Krishnamurti's teachings began in his early twenties, leading him to join the Krishnamurti School in Ojai, California, shortly after its establishment in 1975. During his three-decade tenure at Oak Grove School, he engaged in staff dialogues with Krishnamurti and David Bohm, contributing to various roles in the high school, elementary school, and administration. While teaching math and physics, traditionally approached with rote methods, Darcy prioritized innovative ways of presenting the subjects, fostering a collaborative learning atmosphere in the classroom. His teaching philosophy involved questioning both right and wrong answers, encouraging students to share their perspectives even when divergent from his expectations. Despite retiring in 2020, Darcy remained actively involved in Oak Grove School’s Krishnamurti discussions, volunteering and sustaining a profound interest in K’s questions and dialogues. Jaap Sluijter has a long-standing interest in the questions raised by Krishnamurti. Currently, Jaap is the Executive Director of the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. Previously, he lived and taught at Brockwood Park School in England. He has an MA in Mechanical Engineering and worked as a design engineer in the field of camera systems and musical instruments.
Together, Darcy and Jaap discuss education, drawing insight from Krishnamurti's teachings. They explore the nuances of establishing a meaningful teacher-student relationship, emphasizing the importance of fostering independent thinking. The speakers advocate for a serious learning dynamic, addressing challenges such as fear, judgment, and bullying in the classroom and highlighting the need for clear expectations and standards.
In this dialogue, Jaap and Darcy explore the intricacies of addressing conflict in school, emphasizing the examination of personal desires and vulnerability. They also discuss the impact of Krishnamurti's emphasis on questioning and awareness. The speakers concluded by challenging traditional notions of intelligence, promoting freedom from conditioning, and envisioning schools as spaces for creativity and growth, breaking away from the dichotomy of obedience and rebellion.

Welcome to The Immeasurable Podcast. This episode comes from discussions Krishnamurti had with teachers at Brockwood Park School, recorded in 1976. These dialogues were turned into a book called A Flame of Learning. In the previous episode, “Learning from Every Moment,” Leah and Pooja discuss similar themes. More specifically, they highlight how concepts like authority, discipline, and control impact students, as well as what it means to learn as an educator.
This episode delves into the significance of the teacher and student, exploring topics such as authority, sensitivity, and learning. Krishnamurti emphasizes the value of collaborative learning between teachers and students.
Krishnamurti said, “It is important to establish right relationship between yourself and the student. You cannot do this if you are sitting on a pedestal as a teacher and treating the students as though below you. Come off the pedestal and establish a relationship of mutual learning.” You can find this quote in the book A Flame of Learning, where you can read these dialogues in print.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Brockwood Park 1980 - Dialogue 12: The Intelligence of Love
Series: The Ending of Time
*Can the mind, brain, the whole psychological structure ever be free from all conflict, from all shadow of disturbance?
Thought is the outcome of psychological accumulation. That accumulation gives a sense of continuity, which is time.
Why do all human beings throughout the world have the urge to become?
In accumulation man has sought psychological security, and that security with its accumulation is the factor of human division.
Perception without any motive, without any direction, perception of the wall which has been brought into being by this movement of accumulation, the very perception of that is intelligence and love.*

Series: The Ending of Time
*Is the human brain deteriorating?
The human brain is not a particular brain, it doesn't belong to me or to anyone else, it is the human brain which has evolved for millions of years.
Can the brain not only be aware of its own movement but can the brain itself have enough energy to break all patterns and move out of it?
Is psychological knowledge not in itself a factor of the shrinking of the brain?
The ending of suffering comes about when the self, which is built up through time, is no longer there.
If there is an insight into the nature of time the very brain cells which are part of time break down. The brain cells mutate, bring about a change in themselves.
Meditation is insight.*For more information about J. Krishnamurti and the Krishnamurti foundations:

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 6: Can Insight Bring About a Mutation of the Brain Cells?
Series: The Ending of Time
*Is there a totally different way of approaching the whole turmoil of life?
As long as the center is creating darkness, and thought is operating in that darkness, there must be disorder, there must be everything as society now is. To move away from that you must have insight.
Insight can only come about when there is a flash which abolishes not only the darkness but the creator of darkness.
Human beings have been acting according to one pattern, responding to hatred by hatred and so on. There are those few, perhaps many, who did not. Why has this division taken place?
The man who is living in darkness can move away at any time to the other. That is the point: at any time.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 6: Can Insight Bring About a Mutation of the Brain Cells?
Series: The Ending of Time
Can insight change the brain cells?
In the brain is there an activity that is not touched by consciousness?
Insight is not dependent on the material process, which is thought. Where there is violence, peace cannot exist. Where there is peace, is there violence?
As insight is causeless, is not born out of cause, that insight has a definite effect on that which has cause.
The material process acts in ignorance, in darkness. This flash of insight enlightens the whole field, which means ignorance, darkness has been dispelled.For more information about J. Krishnamurti and the Krishnamurti foundations:

Welcome back to The Immeasurable Podcast. This episode comes from discussions Krishnamurti had with teachers at Brockwood Park School, which he founded in England in 1969. These dialogues were turned into a book called A Flame of Learning. If you go back and listen to the previous episode, titled Exploring Education, you’ll hear Jaap and Shailesh reference moments from these conversations, in which Krishnamurti explores a teacher’s relationship with both the school and with their colleagues and students.
In this episode, Krishnamurti questions the nature of freedom and authority, the root of fear and violence, and the possibility of awakening intelligence and sensitivity to order. The teachers and Krishnamurti also go into the nature of inquiry itself and the necessity for clarity, observation, and communication. He challenges educators to look at the need for radical psychological change and to consider the possibility of such changes in all human beings.
Krishnamurti said, "Seeing something very clearly and acting instantly is intelligence. Can we have that intelligence among ourselves first, and then convey it to the student?" You can find this quote in the book A Flame of Learning, where you can read these dialogues in print. Visit store.kfa.org to order it now. I hope you enjoy the episode.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 5: The Ground of Being and the Mind of Humanity
Series: The Ending of Time
*Why is having ideas become so important?
What is the difference between a religious mind and a philosophic mind?
What is the human mind’s relationship to the ground?
Why has man accumulated knowledge?
When you love somebody there is no ‘me’, it is love. In the same way, when I say I am humanity, it is so. It is not an idea, it is not a conclusion, it is part of me.*For more information about J. Krishnamurti and the Krishnamurti foundations:

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 4: Breaking the Pattern of Ego-centred Activity
Series: The Ending of Time
*What will make a human being change, deeply, fundamentally, radically?
Will I, as a human being, give up my egocentric activity completely?
The more knowledge I have acquired, as I have evolved, as I have grown, as I have experienced, it has strengthened me, and I have been walking on that path for millennia. Perhaps I may have to look at this problem totally differently - which is not to walk on that path at all; discard all knowledge I have acquired.
Explanations have been the boat on which to cross to the other shore. The man on the other shore says there is no boat. Cross!
What happens to me when I meet something that is completely solid, immovable, absolutely true?
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.*

Welcome to The Immeasurable Podcast. The following episode is an exploration with Leah Luong and Jackie McInley and was recorded in Ojai at Pine Cottage, Krishnamurti’s former residence. The episode is titled after the book Beyond Violence.Krishnamurti said, “We have built a society which is violent and we as human beings are violent; the environment, the culture we live in, is the product of our endeavor, of our struggle, of our pain, of our appalling brutalities. So the most important question is: is it possible to end this tremendous violence within oneself?” While Jackie and Leah discuss this possibility together, they are by no means experts and this dialogue is an attempt to discover it as if for the first time. You can also view this episode on YouTube.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - Dialogue 3: Why Has Man Given Supreme Importance to Thought?
Series: The Ending of Time
*Q: Is the 'ground' indifferent to mankind, as the physical universe appears to be?
How does one find out if there is something more than merely the physical?
Q: Why is it that theories are necessary and useful in organizing facts about matter outwardly, and yet inwardly, psychologically they are in the way, of no use at all?
Seeking security for myself, for my family, for my group, and for my tribe, has brought about division.
Why has man given importance to thought as the supreme thing?
If I accept I am irrational completely, I am rational.*

Welcome back to The Immeasurable Podcast. I’m Leah Luong and this episode is a talk given by David Edmund Moody during the 2018 Annual May Gathering. David was the first teacher hired when Krishnamurti founded the Oak Grove School in Ojai, California, in 1975. He subsequently served as educational director of the school, which was the position he held at the time of Krishnamurti’s death in 1986. He is the author of three books about Krishnamurti. His most recent book is titled Krishnamurti in America: New Perspectives on the Man and his Message (Alpha Centauri Press, 2020).
David’s talk is called Conflict in Relationship: Krishnamurti's View. He raises questions such as, “Can thought be aware of its own limitations?” and “If you have no relationship with nature, how can you have relationship with human beings?” His talk centers around understanding the sources of conflict in human relationship, what it means to be related, and exploring the nature and meaning of thought.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - 2: Cleansing the Mind of the Accumulation of Time
Series: The Ending of Time
*Time is the enemy of man.
Is there a beginning which is not enmeshed in time?
We said nothingness is everything and so it is total energy. It is undiluted pure, uncorrupted energy. Is there something beyond that?
Has man ever been free from the ‘I’?
That emptiness can only exist when there is death of the particular.*

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - 1: The Roots of Psychological Conflict
Series: The Ending of Time
*Has humanity taken a wrong turn?
What is the root of this tremendous inward conflict of humanity?
When I am trying to become something it is a constant battle.
Can the brain itself see that it is caught in time and as long as it is moving in that direction conflict is eternal, endless?
Can the mind realize, resolve a psychological problem immediately?
Has mankind journeyed through millennia to come to this: that I am nothing and therefore I am everything and all energy?*

J. Krishnamurti - Ojai 1982 - Discussion with Scientists 2 - Psychological Suffering
Summary:
What is security?
I have an image about myself. I am a great cook, a great scientist, a great carpenter, whatever you will. I have got that picture in myself and you come along and put a pin into it. And that gets hurt, the image gets hurt. The image is me.
What is a human being?
You are not basically different from me. You may be tall, you may be born in England, I may be born in Africa, I have dark skin, but deep down, the river, the content of the river is the water. The river is not an Asiatic river or European river, it is a river.
Love is not English, American or Indian. Agony is not yours or mine, it is agony. But we identify ourselves with agony - it is my agony, which is not yours. Why do we want to identify with something?
Is there a learning about oneself which is not constant accumulation about myself?

In the following podcast, Jackie McInley explores the nature of dialogue with Henry Fischer. This is part of an on-going series looking at the habitual ways we approach any topic with another person. Do we freely listen or do we bring beliefs and conclusions to our conversations and react from them? Are we more mechanical than we realize?
Some topics in this series include: What is dialogue, what makes it different? What does it mean to relate to someone directly? Is there a "psychological wound" which is commonly avoided? Can we see the movement of thought without any psychological separation from it?
As we continue to meet this mechanical process through direct observation and ask penetrating questions without relating to them from memory, do we begin to knock at the door of the what Krishnamurti calls "the immeasurable"?

J. Krishnamurti & Swami Venkatesananda – Saanen 1969 – Dialogue 2 – Can one experience the infinite?
Why do we always attach ourselves to something which we suppose to be the highest?
We use the word ‘experience’ very easily. Can we experience the feeling of supreme ecstasy? Can we experience the infinite?
Can the mind which is conditioned, prejudiced and frightened experience the highest?
When fear and conditioning cease, is there experiencing of the highest at all?
If the entity which is fear and anxiety has dissolved its fear, what is there to experience?
What is the purpose of experience? Is there the need of experience at all?
Being in a state in which there is no peace, we want to experience a state of absolute, permanent, eternal peace.
If the mind can free itself from agony then what is the need to ask for an experience of the supreme?
