Freedom from the Known
About This Book
Perhaps Krishnamurti's most concentrated single volume, this book explores why human beings remain psychologically trapped despite thousands of years of religion and philosophy. He argues that all psychological misery — conflict, loneliness, fear — arises from the known: the accumulated past that we mistake for the self, and that only a radical break from this conditioning brings genuine freedom.
What You'll Learn
The mind that is seeking security in the known can never encounter the unknown, which alone is creative and alive. Love cannot exist where there is jealousy, possessiveness, or dependency — these are movements of the conditioned self. Observing the self without judgement — choiceless awareness — is itself the act of transformation.
