The moment you banish God...eye-eating creatures cease to exist?

What we have here is a failure to understand. Why is anyone asking this pseudo-intellectual any questions at all? You can't expect much in the way of profundity. He's a performer. He's an ex-con. I'll grant his intelligence, but intelligence won't get you that far.

Ask someone who spends his life in meditation and you will find far greater answers. Ask Krishnamurti or Tolle or just about any one else. Why are you wasting time with an actor of all people?

@ LizLizscot, Hey now, no need to blame god exclusively or even the bogus interpretation(s) offered up from the best and worst of devotees of all sects, creeds, religious atheists, etc.
Perhaps it's the modern Persian male and the generations of deficit imprinting?

Why hasn't anyone mentioned the possibility that while her cover as a correspondent (guess so) may be without holes, CBS might be using a universally incendiary act allegedly perpetrated by some revolutionary yahoos to produce some new and improved hype in order to rally nation(s) of robots to fall deeper into their somnambulant stupor regarding the mechanisms and intent of world affairs?

Who cares if she's the best-looking teleprompter-reading propagandist on the telly? Hmmm?

I concur by voting for this video though this fellow regularly abuses his internet status of alternative news source with the kind of lazy-minded titillation reserved for tabloids and entertainment news segments.
Wall Street should be burned to the ground in effigy for future generations.

@dystopianfuture ie: god as the projection of the self
krishnamurti as well - it just makes sense. indeed, our "version" of jesus is blond/blue eyed Caucasian. Most of the bible is about tribal norms and law. A simple question to any bible thumper is: which is more likely - god created us in HIS image, or we created him in OURS? I think, given the laws of probability, proportionality of the universe, and simple inductive reasoning, the answer is pretty clear.
We create a god, endow him with our "virtues", proclaim our godliness and our wisdom, and then pretextually justify just about any powerhungry, disgusting action we commit.

@SDGGundam
indeed, it is certainly hard to quantify that which remains un-quantifiable. "energy" in so many respects is something we really are just beginning to understand.

after the new year, i'm becoming a full member of this site. principally because some of the best, most thoughtful discussion on the net seems to take place here. I appreciate all of you. happy holidaze.

Krishnamurti was paraphrasing the Simile of the Raft from the Pali Canon, Theravadin Buddhism; Alagaddupama Sutta, MN 22: http://www.accesstoinsight.org/tipitaka/mn/mn.022.than.html

Thanks much for the help!

To identify oneself with a particular race, with a particular country or with certain ideologies yields security, satisfaction and flattering self-importance. This worship of the part, instead of the whole, cultivates antagonism, conflict and confusion.

— J. Krishnamurti, 4 June 1944.

Do not let us be clouded by words, names or labels which only bring confusion as Hindus, Buddhists, Christians and Mohammedans, or as Americans, Germans, English, Chinese. Religion is above all names, creeds, doctrines. It is the way of the realization of the supreme, and virtue is not of any country, race or of any specialized religion. We must free ourselves from names and labels, from their confusion and antagonism, and try to seek through highest morality that which is. Thus you will become truly religious and so will your State. Then only will there be peace and light in the world. If each one of us can understand that there can be unity only in right thinking, not in mere superficial, economic devices, when we become religious, transcending craving for personal immortality and power, for worldliness and sensuality, only then shall we realize the deep inward wisdom of peace and love.

— J. Krishnamurti, 28 May 1944

I guess you reposted after the 3.1 queue purge. Might as well *discard this since the original has been restored (and has the votes).

Thank you for posting that. Always refreshing to get some exposure to Krishnamurti. I think I'll go off and do something more useful than watch random video clips.

Krishnamurti is the most radical thinker I have ever read. His message is not easy at first, but worth working through.

"The core of Krishnamurti's teaching is contained in the statement he made in 1929 when he said: 'Truth is a pathless land'. Man cannot come to it through any organization, through any creed, through any dogma, priest or ritual, not through any philosophic knowledge or psychological technique. He has to find it through the mirror of relationship, through the understanding of the contents of his own mind, through observation and not through intellectual analysis or introspective dissection. Man has built in himself images as a fence of security—religious, political, personal. These manifest as symbols, ideas, beliefs. The burden of these images dominates man's thinking, his relationships and his daily life. These images are the causes of our problems for they divide man from man. His perception of life is shaped by the concepts already established in his mind. The content of his consciousness is his entire existence. This content is common to all humanity. The individuality is the name, the form and superficial culture he acquires from tradition and environment. The uniqueness of man does not lie in the superficial but in complete freedom from the content of his consciousness, which is common to all mankind. So he is not an individual."
