Apr 19, 2023 
U.G. Krishnamurti, a philosopher known for his radical insights into self-awareness and spirituality, explores the illusion of self and subjective experience. He challenges conventional notions of identity, suggesting that our sense of 'I' is shaped by our interactions with the environment. Instead of being a fixed entity, he argues that true existence lies in the ever-changing moment-to-moment experiences, inviting listeners to rethink their understanding of self and reality.

Episode notes
Objects Produce The Subject
- Perception creates the sense of a subject rather than the subject creating objects.
- Objects and sensory events evoke a temporary 'I' that appears and disappears.
Memory And Light Form The 'I'
- Sensory input (like light) activates nerves and memory to form knowledge and the 'I'.
- The so-called self is the activated memory and knowledge triggered by external stimuli.
No Permanent Self Exists
- There is no continuous, permanent subject; 'self-knowledge' as a steady state is nonsense.
- The 'I' is merely a grammatical pronoun used while sensations and knowledge operate.
