At first I thought: Wow, that's a long interview, an hour (!), who knows if I can take that, but - hey presto - the time was over. Perhaps one of the shortest hours I've ever experienced.
The subject however is - in my opinion - as relevant as ever.
Maybe it has evolved considerably already for the one or the other of us. Got any fear? Looking forward to Your answers, first of all, let's plunge into it ...
20th February 1974 6th Conversation with Dr. Allan W. Anderson
'Fear'
Dr. Allan W. Anderson: Mr Krishnamurti, if I recall correctly I think, we had begun to talk together last time, just at the point where the question of fear arose, and I think we both, perhaps, could explore that together a little.
Jiddu Krishnamurti: Yes, I think so. I wonder how we can approach this problem, because it is a common problem in the world. Everyone, or I can say, almost everyone is frightened of something. It may be the fear of death, fear of loneliness, fear of not being loved, fear of not becoming famous, successful and also fear of not having physical security, and fear of not having psychological security. There are so many multiple forms of fears. Now to go into this problem really very deeply, can the mind, which includes the brain, really fundamentally be free of fear? Because fear, as I have observed, is a dreadful thing.
So what is Your fear? And if You got any, would You like to share some of it, just to let go of it?
(Maybe start just with the ones in Your consciousness ...)
Something that works for me: Fear is very similar to suffering. Once You share it, You got only half of it left. Does that work for You as well? Or would a list of fears multiply?
This might be a good chance to let some of it go and maybe reflect on it from a distance?
#Fear is as well tagged on Twitter. What do You feel and what are Your impressions if You follow the track? Is it relief or a drag?
I am interested in how You see the "dreadful thing" and am looking forward to your comments down below :)
