Hello David & Magda,
The World Teacher has come and gone and barely made a ripple upon the current of "this." The paradox of Krishnamurti's being, his message to the world: You are responsible for "this." Change it now. Awaken and change. Not ideologically. Not theoretically. Not tomorrow. What anyone else was/is or wasn't/isn't, doesn't matter. What matters is you. Here. Now.
Part of why Krishnamurti parted ways with the Theosophical Society and dissolved The Order of the Star, was that they all felt he was to do the work for them. When he pointed to their responsibility, there was disappointment, and the whole project that Blavatsky had foretold was branded a failure. The story of Madame Blavatsky, Theosophy and the World Teacher is superficial they way it's told and understood. Much like the Kennedy assassination itself.
I've made more than my share of posts here lately. I know that if I said these things elsewhere, I'd be torn to pieces. But, this is a place where friends come to share and explore, no?
I'm interested in discovering how I feel about all this. It's as if I put it into words, perhaps I will understand it better. But, in just about every post I have made, I've underlined my feeling of the personal responsibility we all have for the creation of a new world, for the awakening of total mind/being. There is no one else to do the work for you. That is a very old game. And, if we are responsible for this, doesn't that insight give us the vitality to change?
These questions are MY inner life. But, I'm also attempting to connect the outer events that I have witnessed in my life time as well. The mind of man is connected to the infinite, to the extraordinary. But, why doesn't that meaning translate into our daily lives? Why are our lives so utterly meaningless the way we currently live them?
I have been hesitant to bring up the whole "World Teacher" thing, with the mambo-jumbo of Madame Blavatsky and how it MAY connect to the murder of President Kennedy. I have no idea whether these events have a connection. But, I have begun to consider they may.
When light moves across the land, does darkness react? When compassion manifests, does it cause a reaction? Those questions, to my perception, are important in understanding some of the key events that happened in the last century.
