Krishnamurti: Two Conversations with Pupul Jayakar, 1978 Brockwood Park 1978, Conversations with Pupul Jayakar 2/2: Thought Cannot Fundamentally Perceive or Comprehend the Totality of Consciousness

What does the word ‘conscious’ mean to you?

Thought can never be aware of the total content of consciousness.

Can the mind perceive the totality?

Is there a love or a quality which is not part of consciousness?

Is it possible to observe with all your senses? When there is a movement of thought, it is a particular sense operating.

Is there a totally different dimension which is not the dimension of consciousness as we know it, not invented by thought?

What instrument or what quality is necessary to move out of this circle of consciousness?

How am I as a human being to discover 'the other'?

How can I know what order is when I live in total disorder?

There is action, which is non-action, when thought is completely, absolutely still.
