Theos-Talk Archives (June 2000 Message tt00000)

This is an issue the K himself addressed.

He may have reached whatever transformation he had with a great amount of
effort, while he stated that instant transformation is possible for anyone
who tries. He gave the example of the great risk and time and trouble that
Columbus had to go through when he travelled by ship to the America. Today,
most take the easy method of taking a commercial airline flight. So he did
not have a double standard.

Something to think about.

>Regarding the feasibility of Krishnamurti’s suggestion of a profound
fundamental transformation of
the human consciousness, it has to be pointed out that Krishnamurti did not
arrive at that level of
consciousness by way of his own proposed instantaneous ‘non-method.’(16)
He arrived there solely
by treading first the path of initiation under a Master (17)--going almost
to its final conclusion--then
stepped aside, and denounced the whole method.(18)
