"When you're going through an illness, you
need that kind of [artistic] expression because
you don't want to lay all that on the people you
love. You need to work through that internally.
It is the best way I can do that?to put it out
there and help heal myself."
?Tina Johnson, artist, weaver, painter

All paths lead to the same goal: to convey to others what we are. And we must pass through solitude and difficulty, isolation and silence, in order to reach forth to the enchanted place where we can dance our clumsy dance and sing our sorrowful song. "”Pablo Neruda

There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is. Nor how valuable it is. Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is ever pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others. "”Martha Graham to Agnes DeMille

Artistic growth is, more than anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it really is. ?Willa Cather

ART when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.

When the artist is alive in any person, whatever his kind of work may be, he becomes an inventive, searching, daring, self-expressing creature. He becomes interesting to other people. He disturbs, upsets, enlightens, and he opens ways for a better understanding. Where those who are not artists are trying to close the book, he opens it, shows there are still more pages possible.

The world would stagnate without him, and the world would be beautiful with him; for he is interesting to himself and he is interesting to others. He does not have to be a painter or sculptor to be an artist. He can work in any medium. He simply has to find the gain in the work itself, not outside it.

The work of the artist is no light matter. Few have the courage and stamina to see it through. You have to make up your mind to be alone in many ways. We like sympathy and we like to be in company. It is easier than going it alone. But alone one gets acquainted with himself, grows up and on, not stopping with the crowd. It costs to do this. If you succeed somewhat you may have to pay for it as well as enjoy it all your life.

Cherish your own emotions and never undervalue them.

We are not here to do what has already been done.

There are two classes of human beings. One has ideas, which it believes in fully, perhaps, but modifies to bring about "success." The other class has ideas which it believes in and must carry out absolutely; success or no success. The first class has a tremendous majority, and they are all slaves. The second class are the only free people in the world. Some are kept under the grind of poverty. Some are sent to jail, but they are still the only free class. But the latter class does not always get ground under the heel, nor sent to jail. People are not always fools. There are those who only want "to be shown," want to know, and there must be someone who has the courage to show them...And it is because there are many people who are not fools and only want "to be shown," that in spite of the conventions of institutions' there has always been a place open for me, although there has never been a time that failure has not been predicted.

Genius...

...is not always under the control of its possessor. For
being a fire of most searching and persuasive quality it
does so command the soul, and through the soul the brain
and hand, that oftentimes it would appear as if the actual
creator of a great work is the last unit to be considered in
the scheme, and that it has been carried out by some force
altogether beyond and above humanity. "”Marie Corelli

Freedom...

...is not a reaction: freedom is not choice. It is man's
pretence that because he has choice he is free. Freedom
is pure observation without direction, without fear of
punishment and reward. Freedom is without motive;
freedom is not at the end of the evolution of man but
lies in the first step of his existence. In observation one
begins to discover the lack of freedom. Freedom is found
in the choiceless awareness of our daily existence and activity.

Hey, Bukfan . . . glad to know you stock your shelves with only the best. Continued good reading"”and living"”now and forever....Apropos of the good life, I just got back from seeing "A Good Year", about the beauty of the simple but eternal pleasures of life, and the critics can go do themselves: I loved every minute of it, and am sitting here with a nice Merlot and savoring the afterglow. Then your good post. Life is good.

J. Krishnamurti---I enjoyed his books when I was in my 20s but eventually got fed up with them. I redd a bio on him published in the late 1990s which showed him up to be the guru-ic hypocrite he actually was (among the included assertions was a 25 year long sexual affair with a married woman).

But then, a couple years ago while surfing the web for bio info about JK, I ran into info about this fellow named U.G. Krishnamurti. Talk about a mindblowing dude. His words/conclusions will turn your mind into squirming eels & jellyfish!

I'm not a fan of anyone's philosophical or cosmological work except my own, but if you're still developing & realizing your own philosophical paradigm, then I highly recommend U.G. Krishnamurti. There are tons of videos & audio clips & free text downloads of his works online. But be careful. His stuff will truly twist your brain into knots---and yet it touches something non-verbal within you...

U.G. knew and interacted with Jiddu. He tried to believe and understand Jiddu but ended up concluding that he was basically a con artist leading the reader down a path with the promise of a reward that never arrives.

Do you remember the name of the book and the author? Was it an anti-Krishnamurti book or was it a "legit" biography? I'm curious because I have never heard anything negative about K , and certainly not that he should be a con artist! But some people are put off because he refuse to be yet another guru and to offer a system for people to follow. If he had flaws in his personal make up, it does'nt diminish his "teachings" in my view. Even a genius can be flawed (think of Buk). K never claimed to be some otherworldly christ-like being.
Funny that you should mention U.G. Krishnamurti. I stumbled across him just last week on Google video when I was looking for clips with Jiddu Krishnamurti...

Lives in the Shadow with J. Krishnamurti, Radha Rajagopal Sloss

Not a bio, really. A secondhand memoir of sorts. Those closest to him, if they wrote books, wrote only flowery, reverential bullshit. This one is not anti-krishnamurti, it's just offering some pieces of info that help you to see that his feet really did touch the ground when he walked.
 
A Few Thoughts On Krishnamurti

I originally posted a quote on this newsgroup from the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti because I felt that Bukowski's perception of the world"”his ability to embrace whatever was going on at the time"”was very much in keeping with the "choiceless awareness" that "K" talked about for over 60 years. There are similarities of viewpoint between great men, and I've included in this post a quote by K. on sex that might be of interest to even a Bukowski reader.

And since the subject of who Krishnamurti was has taken an interesting turn of events, and come up with Brother Schenker, Bukfan, and myself, I'm posting some specific resources on his controversial love life, all of which will mean nothing to anyone who has no idea who Krishnamurti was"”a man of wisdom who went into the root causes of why Man was destroying himself, and who also happened to be a poet and one hell of a writer. His personal journals are fantastic, and there were no erasures in the original manuscripts.

Then I'm dropping the matter out of deference to the intentions of this newsgroup, in order to maintain its overall harmony, and others can carry on with themselves if they wish to, or contact me privately. I have a wide range of in-depth interests in life, and the 80 years worth of teachings by this man are among them. I have every biography written, including the one by Sidney Field, called The Reluctant Messiah, who knew him for over 50 years"”recommended.

There are two books that go into K's relationship, and his so-called fall from grace, with the Rajagopals, including his affair with Rosalind: Lives in the Shadows by Radha Rajagopal Sloss (against), mentioned by Brother Schenker; and Krishnamurti and the Rajagopals by Mary Lutyens (supportive). Out of these many biographical accounts of Krishnamurti's life, the Sloss book is the only one that trashes him.

After looking at both sides of K's love affair with Rosalind Rajagopal, Sloss's mother, my personal feeling is that the worst mistake he ever made was to hire Rajagopal and eventually get emotionally involved with him and his family"”an event which occurred after K's trusted brother Nitya unexpectedly died and someone needed to step in to handle K's publishing and business affairs"”a terrible mistake in judgment on K's part. Eventually Rajagopal and K entered into a long legal battle over the publishing rights to K's teaching, with R's position being that he felt he had a right to them because K. had given R. carte blanche to handle K's business affairs thirty years before. The matter got ugly but was finally settled out of court... And as far as K. being a "con artist," he had every luxury pushed upon him from the time he was discovered at a young age on a beach in India, and refused most of it over the years so he would be free to travel and teach. Plus, I do not share the view that K cheated by projecting a false image of chastity. Those who have read his books and talks in detail will find no assessment supporting that view. On the subject of sexual relations, he said:

"So-called holy men have maintained that you cannot come near to God if you indulge in sex, therefore they push it aside although they are eaten up with it. But by denying sexuality they put out their eyes and cut out their tongues for they deny the whole beauty of the earth. They have starved their hearts and minds; they are dehydrated human beings; they have banished beauty because beauty is associated with woman." Even Bukowski might have agreed.

For me, the question is not whether K was a perfect being but to see whether the teachings work in real life or not. That's an individual decision, because I feel that our work in life is not about changing others, but changing ourselves. No man has ever led me to systematically question myself and the fundamental issues of life and death as deeply as he has. . . I also find it of interest that literary icon Henry Miller"”"Gandhi with a penis" according to some"”said, "there is no man living whom I would consider it a greater privilege to meet than he. . . . His career, unique in the history of spiritual leaders, reminds one of the famous Gilgamesh epic. Hailed in his youth as the coming Savior, Krishnamurti renounced the role that was prepared for him, spurned all disciples, rejected all mentors and preceptors. He initiated no new faith or dogma, questioned everything, cultivated doubt (especially in moments of exaltation), and by dint of heroic struggle and perseverance, freed himself of illusion and enchantment, of pride, vanity, and every subtle form of domination over others. . . . Krishnamurti has renounced more than any man I can think of except Christ. . . . He liberated his soul, so to say, from the underworld and the overworld, thus opening to it 'the paradise of heroes.'" Yeah, baby.

Best wishes to all . . . . Poptop

Thanks, Brother Schenker and poptop. I will try and find these book titles.

poptop: thank you for your very interesting post! I've been reading K since the late sixties and he's had a deep impact on my thinking and perception of the world for the reasons you mention in the end of your post.
I only have two K bios, "The years of awakening" and "The years of fulfilment" , both by Mary Lutyens. In the latter the Rajagopal publishing conflict is very well described.
If anybody should be interested or curious about K, then there's lots of speeches and dialogues by K on Google Video. Just type in "Jiddu Krishnamurti" in the search engine.
Well, enough of K - back to Buk...:)

I find the last sentence lacks in logic.
There can also be beauty in everything else.
Man,"things",thoughts can also have beauty,maybe its that most woman genetically seek security(which doesnt really exist)and support and Truthseeking men, well, at least before they get famous(and wealthy) mostly didnt find much support in woman regarding their search and love for truth.
So they maybe banned woman and with them sex from their lives,if they were strong (or just angry)enough,but that doesnt necessarily mean you also have to ban beauty.

Hi dull,

I believe that K. was talking about those he knew over the years... those who would avert their gaze rather than look directly at a beautiful woman and risk a sexual reaction that might pull them off the so-called path of enlightenment. Then woman becomes the scapegoat, the "temptress," out to ruin the man who otherwise might have been all right (and the moon is made of green cheese . . . this type of thinking has been used down through the centuries to portray woman as evil, and blamed by men as being weak and soulless"”then these male idiots can use this as an excuse to suppress or murder them and make it seem just fine in their "religious" thinking...) Some seekers in India have even been known to cut off their penises (of course, one per person) to repress their sexuality in their quest to know 'God,' and beauty in general is literally shut out of their lives, even the beauty of the earth and the sky, so focused on their distorted goal that they've become, like a horse wearing blinders. I think that's what K was driving at. But you raise an interesting point.

Working Stiffs

"As Ezra said, 'Do your W-O-R-K.' That's where the vigor comes from, the creative fucking process. Puts dance in the bones. Like I said, if I don't write for a week, I get sick. I can't walk. I've got to type. If you chopped by hands off, I'd type with my feet. So I've never written for money; I've written just because of an imbecilic urge." "”Charles Bukowski
___

JL: In the beginning, when I decided I was going to write"”or I go should say, when I realized I had to write"”I had no idea for anything. All I had was a typewriter, and I wrote a letter to somebody finally. That's how it started.

RL: I don't believe in a writer's block. No, I really don't. I think if you learn"”if you become a professional at the very start"”I'm going to talk to the high school theater kids in Muncie, I've done it a number of times. And I say, "OK, be amateurs, but only in the meaning of the word amateur, which is 'to love,' an amateur is a lover, like the Latin, amo, amas, amat. That's fine, love the theater. But also be a professional. Right now. Don't wait to be a professional. That means having a professional ethic and a professional discipline and, more than anything, a professional attitude. Always work at the top of your form. No matter what you do, whether you're writing a letter or you have a bit part in a play, do it the best you know how. And then you're a professional immediately.

You cultivate the habits of professional discipline if you write every day. OK, you take Sundays off. But if you decide you're going to be a writer, unless you write every day, you're not a professional. The best compliment Herman Shumlin, who directed "Inherit the Wind," gave us, he said, "I like you guys 'cause you're working stiffs." That's a journalism expression for a guy who gets up every morning, goes to the office, sits down to his typewriter, and bats it out. Now if you get that habit, you get so you can't sleep at night if you haven't done that every day, you know? If I don't write five pages a day, even when I'm traveling"”I travel a lot, I take notebooks along and I do longhand. I've just graduated to a word processor. My partner was way ahead of me. If you get in the habit, then you won't develop a writer's block. "”Authors of "Inherit the Wind," Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee

Awfully close if it's not. I think they one I saw was in response to hearing something or other about a lawsuit involving lung cancer and smoking. Thanks for posting that, though.
 
Certainly; I am not quite sure about the one you've mentioned. Perhaps I can find it somewhere, if not, maybe I won't. heh. ah, well, we'll see...

Vonnegut "I've got a lawsuit against Brown & Willliamson now. Because I have been chain-smoking Pall Malls since I was 11. And on their package they promised to kill me." (laughs)

This may not be it, found it on http://www.spokesmanreview.com/breaking/story.asp?id=1997 this site, which is an interview with mr vonnegut. probably not it, interesting though.

More Than Space And Time

Writing itself is one of the great, free human activities.
There is scope for individuality, and elation, and discovery.
In writing, for the person who follows with trust and
forgiveness what occurs to him, the world remains always
ready and deep, an inexhaustible environment, with the
combined vividness of an actuality and flexibility of a
dream. Working back and forth between experience and
thought, writers have more than space and time can offer.
They have the whole unexplored realm of human vision.
"”William Stafford

First, I do not sit down at my desk to put into verse
something that is already clear in my mind. If it were
clear in my mind, I should have no incentive or need
to write about it. . . . We do not write in order to be
understood; we write in order to understand.
"”C. Day Lewis

Yea, well, Henry had a way of allowing his enthusiasm over someone or something to become blown way out of proportion; in other words, he tended to exaggerate when dishing out praise.

'Murti was great at mental mechanics; watching how thought moves and behaves. But in the end, he was not enlightened---no, by virtue of the fact that he saw a solvable crisis regarding the human condition, and was distressed all his life by his perception that not a single person really "got" what he said. And that's because he didn't really say much that was worth a damn. It was all commentary and mechanical---as if all of us were walking around with bad sums in our heads and all we needed to do was add what he suggested or implied and then we'd be seeing clearly and acting from that clarity.

Calling him a "con man" was, perhaps, an exaggeration. By all accounts he was picked and groomed to be seen and treated as a guru from childhood. And he told his audiences that he was not the World Teacher nor their guru. But if you're wearing a Mickey Mouse head and huge white gloves you can tell everyone that you're not Mickey Mouse until you're blue in the face but everyone is still gonna call you "Mickey" and ask you where you buried Minnie.

The thing is, he continued to dress and look the part, and continued to talk to audiences and be the center of attention. Did it until not long before he died at 90.

If you're honest you'll have to admit that aside from some excellent criticism about our slavery to fear & greed & vanity, there's not much being said in 'Murti's books. And all the stuff is written from an idealized perspective; a persepctive where there is no fear or sense of lack but instead a sense of balance and harmony with self and everything else on the planet. But that balance was obviously not a constant in his life (court cases, hassles associated with his various schools, etc)---so what the fuck? He was like the rest of us. He wasn't tapping into anything special or divine or holy. Any one of us can calm down and allow things to balance out and harmonize long enough to write down the thoughts that attend such a state of mind. Big deal. Collect them into a book and present them to the world without a hint of the context of the truly human life they came from, and bingo bammo: You're cultivating the image of a guru.

I consumed at least a few of his books, both "teachings" & dialogues, and redd the first 3 volumes of the Lutyens bios, and the Sloss bio, and eventually de-guru-ized him and moved on to others until I realized no one could tell, give, or sell me what I was after. I already had what I had been searching for. Had to find it by a process of elimination and reductio ad absurdum.

So what I'm saying is: There is value in reading K's work, but it ain't the be all and end all.
