To read him or listen to him [J. Krishnamurti] is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness. -Anne Morrow Lindbergh, The most impressive thing I have listened to. It was like listening to a discourse of the Buddha-such power, such intrinsic authority. -Aldous Huxley, after attending one of Krishnamurti's lectures., "The most impressive thing I have listened to. It was like listening to a discourse of the Buddha-such power, such intrinsic authority." -- Aldous Huxley, after attending one of Krishnamurti's lectures., "To read him or listen to him, Krishnamurti, is to face oneself and the world with an astonishing morning freshness." -- Anne Morrow Lindbergh, A clear contemporary statement of the fundamental human problem, together with an invitation to solve it in the only way in which it can be solved -for and by [oneself].-Aldous Huxley, from his Foreword to The First and Last Freedom by J. Krishnamurti

Synopsis
This series or six lectures given by J. Knshnamurti in Hamburg, Germany in 1956, are based on the need for radical change in relationship to our minds. He explains: "To understand the immeasurable, which is to enter into a different world altogether, we must understand this world in which we live, this world which we have created and of which we are a part-the world of ambition, greed, envy, hatred, the world of separation, fear and lust. That means we must understand ourselves, the unconscious as well as the conscious, and this is not very difficult if you set your mind to it." Book jacket., Discover the Immeasureable contains a series of six lectures given by J. Krishnamurti in the fall of 1956. It includes the original questions from his listeners, together with his insightful and practical answers. These lectures, as all of the great philosopher's work, are based on the need for radical change in understanding our own minds. The title of this series stems from a primary question: "Can you and I discover something that is immeasurable?" With the term "immeasurable," Krishnamurti is urging us to explore "what is beyond the beliefs and theories, beyond the sentimental hopes and intellectual assertions and] mere projections of the mind" that determine our lives. Instead of being seduced by such illusions, he calls us to passionate action in experiencing life directly, since "only direct experience has validity." To directly experience what is immeasurable will have an extraordinary significance in our lives, even to the point of realizing what is God, or what is truth. A steep price-in terms of fierce dedication to work on self-is paid for such direct experience, however. As Krishnamurti says: "To understand the immeasurable, which is to enter into a different world altogether, we must understand this world-the world of ambition, greed, envy, hatred, the world of separation, fear and lust." This willingness to face what is, in ourselves and in the world at large, is a rare commodity in a culture that wants pleasant and immediate resolution to hard issues. The practice of knowing oneself is not an esoteric one, the author asserts. In fact, quite the opposite. What we discover, with focused attention, is that truth is revealed in every relationship and at every moment-"when you are entering the bus, getting a taxi or talking to someone." He advocates the practice of meditation not as some otherworldly transport, but as the method for initiating self-knowledge. Through meditation the mind becomes stilled, without demands. In this state, he speculates, "that which is not measurable comes into being." Krishnamurti addresses important questions in these lectures including: Is it possible to experience something entirely new, beyond the fabrications of the mind? Can there be an action that is not self-centered? Why do we have ideals? These assertions, questions and issues are as relevant today as they were almost sixty years ago., Discover the Immeasureable contains a series of six lectures given by J.

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good.
