Theos-Talk Archives (March 2006 Message tt00355)

Hello Carlos
I have been on a number of Krishnamurtian groups in the past, and most believe as you said, that the "I" is the cause of all suffering.  I can see how this can lead to mental imbalances.
However, I didn't get that from Krishnamurti, the message I came away with was that the "I" had to be understood, unpacked if you liked, reflected on, without judgement and eventually brought to a state of submission or quiet by the higher self.  He advocated this in a "revolutionary instantaneous event," whereas I found I needed many years to go through the accumulations that my ego had stored and why those accumulations from the past, were continuing to impact on my life.  That, along with Gurdgieff's teachings helped me to understand what the "I" was all about, and how for the most part it runs us on auto pilot as many are asleep to its control and need to be "in charge".

Dear Cass,

Yet the Advaita system teachs the seven principles/ levels of consciousness 
pretty much as HPB did (not a coincidence), while Krishnamurti never 
understood,  much less taught the seven principles.

For instance, Ramana Maharshi taught them in the 20th century.

Seven principles are essential,  as by understanding them you have the key 
of the correlation between the micro (a human individual) and the macro 
(solar system and the universe).

Krishnamurti was rather shallow with his doctrine according to which the "I" 
is bad.

The importance of the correlation man/universe explains why studying the 
"Secret Doctrine".
It is a form of Jnana Yoga.

We are a summary of the universe, and the cosmos is an amplified picture of 
each one of us.

A mirror of one's soul.


Best regards,  Carlos.
