Hallo all,
My views are:
Sorry to interrupt a bit.
I hold the following view to be considered and be given credit, for the
truth it contains.
'Sir Thomas,' an English Master said:
"Also instead of giving forth the new Teaching so badly needed, he
[Krishnamurti] escaped from the responsibilities of his office as prophet
and teacher by reverting to a past incarnation, and an ancient philosophy of
his own race [Advaita Vedantism] with which you are familiar, but which is
useless for the Western World in the present cycle. But those to whom he
speaks think they are receiving a new message, and as such it carries undue
weight. The message he should have delivered, he has failed to deliver--or
only partly delivered. Nothing about Art--no plans for the new
sub-race--educational schemes dropped--and in place of all this: Advaita, a
philosophy for chelas, and one of the most easily misunderstood paths to
liberation... He who attempts to teach Advaita, and omits all Sanscrit
terms, courts failure. Sanscrit words engender an occult vibration which is
lost when translated. Western words not suitable to describe subjective
states of consciousness, because their associations are mainly mundane...
Another flaw in this pseudo-Advaita which Krishnamurti is giving out, is
that he addresses the personality, the physical plane man [personal self],
as if he were the Monad [divine self] or at least the Ego [higher self]. Of
course the Monad, the Divine Spark, is the Absolute
Existence-Knowledge-Bliss, and hence eternally free, but that doesn't mean
that the personality down here, immersed in endless-seeming Karmic
difficulties, can share its consciousness, or even that of the Ego--the link
between the personality and the Monad."
'Sir Thomas,' an English Master, in: His Pupil [Cyril Scott], The Initiate
in the Dark Cycle (London: Routledge, 1932), pp. 136-139.
When all those, who are Krishnamurti fanatics realise, that his teachings
are nothing else but Pseudo-Adwaita teachings, they
will see the picture more clear. Blavatsky would certainly not have accepted
that kind of teaching, without it being related to the Masters and the
three/four objects of The Theosophical Society.
These are just my views.
Try to compare Krishnamurti with The Adwaita Vedanta Home Page

M. Sufilight with peace and love..

Perhaps rather than creating his own dogma, it was created around him. Same
thing with Gurdgieff???

Cass,
Yet he created his own Krishhamurtian dogma.
Krishnamurtians usually don't read authors other than him.
They are usually not open to debate -- at least some of them.
Not all, of course.
Best -- carlos.
