J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson explore transcending the degeneration of our culture through individual transformation. This talk was originally recorded in 1974 at San Diego State University In this inaugural episode, J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson illuminate: The degeneration of literature, art, religion and culture Undergoing radical transformation on an individual level Moving from fragmentation to wholeness The oneness of society and individual The non-temporal relationship between action and understanding Cultures of superficiality without any ground in the beauty of goodness The limits of knowledge and finding freedom from it What it means to end knowledge and be in the present The brain’s impulsive function to record Being a light to oneself About J. Krishnamurti: For nearly six decades until his passing in 1986 at the age of ninety, Jiddu Krishnamurti traversed the globe, delivering spontaneous and captivating discourses to large audiences. Krishnamurti assumed the role of an investigator rather than an authority figure, encouraging individuals to question assumptions and explore the depths of their consciousness. His extensive body of work, estimated at over 100 million words, spans more than six decades of relentless inquiry and dialogue. His teachings, compiled in numerous books and translated into multiple languages, continue to inspire seekers worldwide, inviting them to embark on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding. J. Krishnamurti’s legacy endures as a guiding light, offering timeless wisdom for those who dare to challenge conventional thinking and explore the complexities of existence. About Allan W. Anderson: Dr. Allan Anderson was a poet, author, Professor Emeritus, beloved teacher, scholar of the Oracular Tradition, and a gifted religious linguist. He helped to form the Department of Religious Studies at San Diego State College in 1969. Dr. Anderson later became chair of that department, specializing in Eastern Religions, until his retirement in 1985. For more information about J.
