What is it one feels like doing?

Here’s a video I put together from images online to accompany a recording of Krishnamurti at Brockwood in 1969. Of course it’s an unofficial video, not part of my work to preserve the archive authentic works. But I wanted to experiment with a new format, and use audio that probably hasn’t been heard as often as the public talks.

  1. Thank you for posting this. It is very interesting. Is it from a discussion with students and staff? I would like to hear more of this.

  2. One further point. I personally found the images very distracting, and listened to the discussion the first time with my eyes closed. Having now watched the whole thing with the images, I feel very wary about the use of such imagery to illustrate Krishnamurti talks or discussions in this way. It seems to me that it is a subtle form of interpretation, in that the images are giving the words a slant based on the compiler’s idea of their meaning. I feel it would be better to leave Krishnamurti audio files as just that, without any visual embellishment, to avoid the risk of distortion.

    • Of course, you are right. Entirely based on image, interpretation, prejudice, opinion. I wanted to try something different and illustrate the reactions of my own mind as I listen. I suggest JKO if you are after the unadulterated audio/video/text.
