Book Reviews of Freedom from the Known
Book Review: Amazing book, probably the greatest ever written.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is one of the few books written by Krishnamuti himself. I think everybody ought to read it, as it can totally transform your life. It has had a profound affect on my daily life, freeing me from conflict. Read and be inspired by it!Book Review: A brutally honest appraisal of the human condition
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a rare and beautiful work. I laughed, cried and trembled when I read this book. It amazes me that someone can have so much clarity about life and living. Krishnamurti must have been a very special human being.
Book Review: A truly magnificent book I love it,a book you can't put down
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutly love this book,it must be read at all costs.My wife has just started to read it and she said the book is a jouney of enlightenment.You can not read enough of J Krishnamurti ! It has changed our lives.....For the better.Book Review: Freedom from conditioning, experience, process and time
Summary: 5 Stars
Krishnamurti sees very clearly that a human being is forever looking for a way out from his daily struggle of living and his fear of dying through various identifications.All identifications as per the book including identification with a religion, a political system, a scientific theory, even identification with a nation, flag only aggravates human misery.One new process replaces another, an old conditioning is replaced by a new one,for all of us there is a wonderful illusion that our salvation is just a question of time and more experience. Krishnamurti wants us not to accept what he is saying but to explore with him, whether all our experiences or other's experiences, regarding understanding of life is taking us anywhere at all?The relationship between the thinker and thought in a human being is central and most important thing to explore if life has to be explored as it is and is to be understood, this has been communicated with extraordinary clarity in these pages. Awareness, Observation and Silence as per Krishnamurti are the only instruments necessary for this exploration.There is a great depth and compassion in the way the language has been used.In recent times, Steven Harrison's Doing Nothing is one among the few original books that seem to take us in to this sort of exploration after Krishnamurti.Book Review: A simplistic review of the book Freedom From The Known
Summary: 5 Stars
In this book freedom from the known, Krishnamurti expresses the necessity of how one must educate oneself and also how one must realise for oneself our true compassionate nature. He explains how thoughts are perverted by authority and also talks about love, sorrow and death. I find Krishnamurti a phenomenal spiritual teacher, I also find his words to be enlightening and authentic. I thoroughly recommend Freedom From The Known along with many of his other books that have been published such as Think On These Things and the Awakening Of Intelligence. Krishnamurti has the ability of giving the reader an insight into how the mind operates leaving the reader more informed and confident about life.
