In The Aeroplane Over The Sea, Cover by Nick Strong (by unssp)
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round the sun
What a beautiful dream
That could flash on the screen
In a blink of an eye and be gone from me
Soft and sweet
Let me hold it close and keep it here with me, me
And one day we will die
And our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea
But for now we are young
Let us lay in the sun
And count every beautiful thing we can see
Love to be
In the arms of all I’m keeping here with me, me
What a curious life we have found here tonight
There is music that sounds from the street
There are lights in the clouds
Anna’s ghost all around
Hear her voice as it’s rolling and ringing through me
Soft and sweet
How the notes all bend and reach above the trees, trees
Now how I remember you
How I would push my fingers through
Your mouth to make those muscles move
That made your voice so smooth and sweet
Now we keep where we don’t know
All secrets sleep in winter clothes
With one you loved so long ago
Now he don’t even know his name
What a beautiful face
I have found in this place
That is circling all round’ the sun
And when we meet on a cloud
I’ll be laughing out loud
I’ll be laughing with everyone I see
Can’t believe how strange it is to be anything at all

THE ONLY VIDEO YOU HAVE TO SEE - J. KRISHNAMURTI “Totally Absolutely Without Conflict” [4/4] (by OddEdges)
Please we are looking at it together
Your own consciousness
Which is you
Fear
And with it naturally goes hatred
Where there is fear there must be violence
Aggression
The tremendous urge to succeed
Both in the physical as well as in the psychological world
Fear has many factors, which we’ll go into when we are talking about fear
And the constant pursuit of pleasure
Pleasure of possession
Pleasure of domination
Pleasure of money, which gives power
The pleasure of a philosopher with his immense knowledge
The guru with his circus
Pleasure again has innumerable forms
And there is also
Sorrow
Pain
Anxiety
The deep sense of abiding
Endless sense of loneliness
And not only the so-called personal sorrow
But also the enormous sorrow of mankind has brought about through wars
Through neglect
Through this endless sense of conquering one group of people by another
And in that consciousness there is the racial group content
And ultimately there is death
This is our consciousness
Beliefs
Certainties
And uncertainties
Great sense of anxiety
Loneliness
Sorrow
And endless misery
This is a fact
And we say this consciousness
IS MINE
Is that so?
Go to the Far East or the other east,
India, American, Europe
Anywhere you go where human beings are
They suffer
They’re anxious
Lonely
Depressed
Melancholy
Struggling conflict
Same like you
Similar like you
So is your consciousness from the other?
I know it’s very difficult
Maybe to logically accept
Which is intellectual verbally say yes
That is so
Maybe
But to feel this total human sense that there is no humanity except you
You are the rest of mankind
That requires great deal of sensitivity
It’s not a problem to be solved
It isn’t that, ‘I must accept that I’m not an individual
And how am I to feel this global human entity?’
Then you’ve made it into a problem
And the brain is ready to solve the problem
Do this
Don’t do that
Go to a guru
You know all the circus that goes on
But if you really look at it
With your mind
With your heart
With you whole being
Totally aware of this fact
Then you have broken the program
See
It is naturally broken
But if you say ‘I will break it’
You are getting back in the same
I wonder if you understand
Shall I go over ii again?
Is it necessary for the speak to repeat
But please don’t accept this because the speaker feels this
To him this is utter reality
Not something verbally accepted
Because it’s pleasant
But it is something that is actual
Then if that is so
Which is logically
Reasonably
Sanely examine and you’ll see
It is so
But the brain which has been accustomed to
This program of the individuality is going to revolt
Which you are doing now
Which is the brain is unwilling to learn
Where as the computer is willing to learn
Here we are frightening of losing something
And if you don’t understand this
We’ll go over and over again
But a serious person confronting the world situation
The world catastrophe
The terror
The atom bomb
The endless competition between nations
That is destroying human beings
It’s destroying us
Each one
And the decision comes
When you perceive the truth that you are not an individual
song: godspeed you black emperor - sleep
speaker: jiddu krishnamurti - learning that transforms consciousness
