Dominique K. Johnson replied to Dominique K. Johnson's discussion '"Esotericism!" What's that?'
Nick, From a theosophical point-of-view, Jack is right. From one view, Christ or Christos (divine principle) rather is extremely important, and a relationship with the Christos is as important as some Buddhists and their relationship with…

Robert Epstein

The Quotable Krishnamurti

(Wheaton, IL : Quest Books, 2011, 176pp.)

 

         There is the true story of the Westerner who goes to India and is asked to give a short talk at a conference. “How long?” he asks. “Not more than two hours” was the reply.  Thus J. Krishnamurti’s short talks were nearly all two hours in length. I used to attend them at Saanen in the Swiss mountains.  Usually one got the point that was to be made in the first 15…

It's all about the love

It's all about your brother.

It's about doing what you can to help better one…
