Krishnamamurti

Post by duszek »

I talked recently to someone who sounded very confusing and confused to me. When I asked what thinker or philosopher might have influenced him he mentioned Krishnamamurti.

I googled K. and he is from the camp of anthroposophists or theosophists.

The young man I talked to was very thin, he seemed to me like an unhappy guru in a way.

Any advice from anyone ?
Any suggestions how to talk to such a young man ?
He seems to seek my company and my attention which puzzles me because I don´t feel that we have much in common, not mentally for sure.

Is that a branch of the scouts?

Don't be naive man, he's obviously just looking for somebody to give him a good seeing to.
. Any advice from anyone ?
Yes, don't go near him without a condom.

There are actually two of them. J Krishnamurthy and U G Krishnamurthy. U G is definitely more interesting.

Next time I will have to ask which one he meant.
Perhaps I googled the wrong one.

The young man I mean speaks in riddles, like a sphinks.

He is the opposite of me, I like to speak as clearly as possible, he speaks as enigmatically as possible. But he was not flirting with me for sure, I can tell.

I feel uneasy about him, I don´t know why.

Listen to your instincts and run.

From what I've seen: People who talk in riddles are not being free and flowing with SIMPLE TRUTHS. Convoluted complexity does not reflect divine mysteries... rather it more often seems to reflect self-indulgent delusion and ego.

Thank you, Lacewing, this is what I think too, I just wanted some views from third parties.

How come you didn't thank me for my advice? I regularly get propositioned by unhappy gurus so I know what I'm talking about.

Perhaps because I was a little afraid because of the expression of your face.

But if you mention it, thank you, Harbal, very nice of you.

And thanks for upgrading me to a man. :lol:

Seems the dude is in a psychosis, and should be avoided as they can be unpredictable.

It seems that he thinks he on the path on enlightenment, when I say he's on the path to no where. Subconsciously he wants attention and advice because he's lost.

..and you don't have to thank me, nor should you tank Harbal he only likes to make smart ass snarky remarks, he can't really make any useful answers.

Sometimes a "smart ass snarky" remark is the truth, and true answers are useful. One thing about Harbal is that he is consistently nasty to everyone, I like that.

Yes, but unfortunately it's not the case here.
