The Action of Total Awareness Public Discussion ? Brockwood Park, 1975 In this illuminating public discussion, J. Krishnamurti explores what it means to be totally aware. Is awareness a form of concentration, discipline or deliberate effort, or does it arise only when the mind observes without choice, judgement or resistance? Krishnamurti examines how thought divides experience into the observer and the observed, creating conflict and preventing direct perception. He asks whether complete attention can reveal the whole movement of consciousness and bring about action that is immediate, intelligent and free from the conditioning of the past. A profound enquiry into attention, self-knowledge, thought and the transforming quality of total awareness.
