Intellectual Meltdown

[Guest guest]

The intellect needs to be collapsed like a house of cards for the new

state of consciousness to arise in you.

 

This collapse is " simply " the removal of the interval between

perception and action, as explained by J. Krishnamurti in for example

this talk:

" No mind " is a good description because the thinking process cannot

form an intellectual concept or a dogmatic religion around that. But

what it is all about can also be described as " clear mind " .

 

One way to reach no mind is to see that ordinary thinking is

poisonous; it is always steeped in conflict. Through that pure

observation the new state of consciousness can be reached.

 

For the mind to be clear, there must be order. The intellect knows

nothing of order. It knows only about order in the form of knowledge

and all knowledge is only a contrived form of order because it can

only exist in relation to ignorance. So real order cannot come about

through any intellectual attempt. Only through direct observation of

the disorder in the thinking process can order appear. That kind of

observation creates a collapse of the intellect.
