A Different Approach Altogether

by metavalent

“Please, just listen first …”

Krisnamurti:

Is there a perception – please, just listen first, you may agree or not agree afterwards, but just listen first – is there a perception not born of memory, not born of knowledge, a perception that sees the whole nature of conflict?

The whole nature, the nature and the structure of conflict, the perception of that whole. Is there such perception at all? You understand my question? Not analytical perception. Not intellectual observation of the conflict, various types of conflict. Nor an emotional response to conflict. But we are asking, is there a perception – not of remembrance – which is time, which is thought. Is there a perception which is not of time or thought, which can see the whole nature of conflict, and that very perception is the ending of that conflict? That is my question to you. You understand the question?

Is there such a thing? And perhaps that alone is going to solve the problem. Because we have not solved the problem of a million years of conflict, we are continuing the same pattern. We must find intelligently, hesitantly, with care, if there is there is a perception which covers the whole of conflict, and that very perception breaks up the pattern. Right?

Not say, well, it is not possible, because I haven’t done it. It is not within my sphere. I haven’t thought enough about it.

Or, I don’t want to think about it that way at all, because I am satisfied with my conflict, because I am quite certain one day humanity will be free of conflict. That is all just an escape from the problem.

Are we together in this now? Together. Being aware of all the complexities of conflict. Aware, not denying it, it is there. It is there as actual as pain in the body, it is there.

One is aware of it, aware without any choice, it is so. And at the same time asking the question whether there is a different approach to this altogether?
