March 09, 2009: It is difficult to look for and much more difficult to find and after finding difficult to accept the great simplicity and clarity in the teachings of one such as Jiddu Krisnamurti, they cut to the bone of our intelligence and to the heart of our compassion. He is undoubtedly the great Educator of our time. Although many would put this book in the classification of a Spiritual or Religious teaching, it is clearly an invitation to allow the manifestation of our own humanity that freely arises when we disengage from the hibitual patterns of conflict...
