Because of true friendship
But those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows. And they will concentrate, they will become the flame, because they understand.
Such a body we must create, and that is my purpose. Because of that real understanding there will be true friendship. Because of that true friendship -which you do not seem to know- there will be real cooperation on the part of each one. And this not because of authority, not because of salvation, not because of immolation for a cause, but because you really understand, and hence are capable of living in the eternal. This is a greater thing than all pleasure, than all sacrifice.

Lecture given by J. Krishnamurti, in 1929, when he dissolved the Order of the Star of the East.

New Paradigm is a term to describe a new life circle with which many are becoming now on this planet.

Align with recent NP development and read the related articles bellow. Additionally - have you ever heard of the Handbook for the New Paradigm ?

“I can think of no argument in favour of “owning” land. Surely the land is a resource for us all, to be used responsibly, or left wild for other creatures. I understand that some land should be used by custodians, to provide food for the worlds over large population, but even this land should be left in such a state as to be able to return to wildness later. When someone builds a nucleur power plant, polluting factory etc they do it on our land, our childrens land, and whats more they never clean up properly afterwards.
I live on an acre of land, and I have cleared out buckets full of broken glass and dead batteries left by former “owners”, and I expect future ones will dump more junk. Whilst I live here my aim is to give nature a helping hand, whilst supplimenting my food needs. The result looks good, promotes wildlife, and is a drip in the ocean towards the world I want to leave to future generations. ” read more

LEARNING TO BE STILL AND LET IT BE

“One thing I had learned from Lonnie was how to share with somebody. Lonnie never did say, “I disagree with you, you are wrong.” Lonnie said to me one day, “Are you sure that’s right?” And I said, “Yes,” and Lonnie just nodded his head up and down and never said a word. When I walked away I heard a small voice say to me, “Are you sure you are right and not Lonnie?” And I would see that I was not the one that was right, Lonnie was, and I went back and told him he was right and I was wrong….” continue reading
