Brockwood Park 1969 - Public Discussion 1 - How am I to become extraordinarily alert?

How Am I to Become Extraordinarily Alert? Public Discussion Brockwood Park, 1969 In this searching public discussion, J. Krishnamurti explores the nature of alertness and complete attention. Can the mind become intensely aware through effort, discipline or practice, or does the desire to achieve alertness itself create conflict and dullness? Krishnamurti examines the difference between concentration and awareness, and asks whether genuine attention can exist without choice, control or a psychological centre directing it. Through direct enquiry, he invites the listener to observe thought, reaction and relationship as they occur, without judgement or escape. A profound investigation into attention, self-knowledge and the possibility of meeting every moment with clarity, sensitivity and intelligence.
