An interesting exercise, John. Are you familiar with the following 
statement by Krishnamurti, made by him nine days before he died on 17 
February 1986? The source is "Life and Death of Krishnamurti" by Mary 
Lutyens:


"I was telling them this morning - for seventy years that super-
energy - no - that immense energy, immense intelligence, has been 
using this body. I don't think people realise what tremendous energy 
and intelligence went through this body - there's twelve-cylinder 
engine. And for seventy years - was a pretty long time - and now the 
body can't stand it any more. Nobody, unless the body has been 
prepared, very carefully, protected and so on - nobody can understand 
what went through this body. Nobody. Don't anybody pretend. Nobody. I 
repeat this: nobody amongst us or the public, know what went on. I 
know they don't. And now for seventy years it has come to an end. Not 
that intelligence and energy - it's somewhat here, every day, and 
especially at night. And after seventy years the body can't stand it -
can't stand it anymore. It can't. The Indians have a lot of damned 
superstitions about this - that you will and the body goes - and all 
that kind of nonsense. You won't find another body like this, or that 
supreme intelligence, operating in a body for many hundred years. You 
won't see it again. When he goes, it goes. There is no consciousness 
left behind of that consciousness, of that state. They'll all pretend 
or try to iamgine they can get in touch with that. Perhaps they will 
somewhat if they live the teachings. But nobody has done it. Nobody. 
And so that's that."
