J. Krishnamurti returns to explain how we must grasp the movement of disorder to have and maintain an orderly life.

If you are just now tuning in, we recommend starting from episode #1 of this podcast to get the most out of this 18-part dialogue on consciousness, spirituality, and navigating life with J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson!

In this episode, J. Krishnamurti and Dr. Allan W. Anderson discuss:

• Outward and inward disorder in the world
• Going behind the facade of order in the west
• The fallacy of order in communist societies
• Considering if order is conformity
• The study of disorder and difficulty in examining the unintelligible
• Our society and civilization as being based on comparison
• Living a life of non-comparison
• The mind as disorderly and how we can observe disorder
• The perceiver as the perceived
• Virtue as a necessity to order
• Staying totally attentive to disorder in order to have order

“To understand disorder, we think an orderly mind is necessary. But, the mind itself has created this disorder. So, can the mind not look at disorder out there but the maker of disorder which is in here? The mind itself is disorder.” – J. Krishnamurti
