Broken Circles: Krishnamurti from taoism to tantra

By Giovanni Andreoli

The time we can know with our soul does not get stuck in space, does not accept Euclidean forms and rejects them without appeal.
Life will always and inevitably be the present moment and our serenity and happiness can only come from the freedom to live the individual moments.
                                   
The possibility of an extraordinary prospective will show us that without beauty we cannot knowing love and without love we cannot recognize the world.

INTRODUCTION

This text deals with the psychological and emotional relationship we establish with our past and the effects this relationship has on our psychophysical well-being and the perception we have of ourselves and the world.

The psychological nature of man is a broad and complex topic and has always been the subject of attention by doctors and scholars.

Unfortunately, any prospect of analysis that we can visualize seems valid and effective only for a limited period of our lives. In the long run our vision slowly loses strength and we find ourselves reliving the feeling that everything remains unresolved, as suspended in a continuous and incomprehensible becoming.

This impermanent continuum pushes us towards a resigned misunderstanding of past events and future expectations. We often end up transforming the relationship we have with the perception of time by compromising the becoming of ourselves.

We will not go too far into issues that have been widely dealt with and discussed in the last century, as well as philosophers from religious and mystics of the most varied Western and Eastern traditions.

It will not be our concern to determine the primacy of the philosophical thought of illustrious illuminated as Jddu Krishnamurti over visions more structured than that of Gurdeijef or even more phenomenological such as modern and postmodern psychology (New Age).

We would inevitably be attracted to the irresistible charm of Krishnamurti, the master of the world, trailing transversally traces of his thought into extraordinary visions of Taoism and Tantrism, particularly kasmir.

In this text, we will simply try to think about certain aspects of the functioning of the human mind while not losing sight of the possibility of a deeper interpretation of the very meaning of life and, more generally, of the truth that the human mind often seems to veal at our understanding.

Limiting your mind's mistakes by using your mind is a difficult and often insidious journey that hardly produces unique and incontrovertible results.

In this text we will accept, despite our limitations of our cognitive instruments, and a momentary derogation from some absolute principles will allow us to propose an operational approach.

The time we are talking about is far from being a deterministic physical phenomenon, but it is rather a soul-only feeling borrowed from the body.

Our intimate relationship with memories and the way these represent our mental corpus define our behavioral model.

The only possibility of understanding will only be obtained by tracing the relationship we live with time and reflecting on the consequences of this relationship on ourselves.

No personal narrative can be of help in making you understand the nature of the problem. So we will not find any other way than to stimulate reflection on ourselves to understand how the past facts have conditioned us and how they daily reappear in our lives.

We will deal with past events by interpreting them as circles. A circle will represent an event not just for the shape of the circle, but rather for temporal development linked to a given collocation in our time-psyche dimension.

Therefore a circle is a human event placed in time, where time will be above all a psychological time, more human than technological, measured by psyche and conscience rather than by a simple and imperfect clock provided by technology.

Psychological time belongs to feeling and feeds on an unconscious reality capable of altering the dimension of feeling, being, and ultimately determining our perception of well-being.

We will not deal with short-term and short-term circles. And even less so, we will look for shortcuts to change the perception of the present as it might be with the use of more or less voluntary mantras or affirmations of whatsoever else are but projections and unnecessary reaffirmation of one's ego.

What is the ego if not the set of beliefs and behavioral structures fed by fears and desires anchored in our own memory?

We will avoid rewriting in the classical interpretations of the consciousness of self of esoteric memory developed by Steiner, Gurdeijef, and so fond of readers who are more avid than in popular distributors such as Salvatore Brizzi, their paladins of modern reinterpretations.

In this text, a circle will simply be any significant event in a man's life. Where significant is the measurement of the trace depth visible above all unconscious.

It will not be difficult to realize that by our nature we underestimate the impact these circles have on the perception of the present and the future. This lack can nourish mental states that over time they will turn into unhappiness, impotence and resignation. Suffering, on the one hand, is generated by ourselves for ourselves, but on the other hand the fracture underlying all dualism can only produce identification, create boundaries, generate categories
