Krishnamurti on ’What Is’

‘There is only 'what is', and not the changing of 'what is'. The changing of 'what is' is the movement of thought in time.’
This week’s episode on What Is has four sections.

The first extract (2:38) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk in Ojai 1983, titled: ‘What is’ and ‘what should be’.

The second extract (29:30) is from the third talk at Brockwood Park in 1978, titled: ‘What is’ has no opposite.

The third extract (40:20) is from the eighth discussion in Saanen 1970, titled: ‘What is’ contains the past, present and future.

The final extract in this episode (59:55) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1973, titled: The cessation of ‘what is’.
