"There is no such thing as your mind and my mind. There is only mind—the totality of all that has been known, felt, and experienced by man, handed down from generation to generation. We are all thinking and functioning in that «thought sphere», just as we all share the same atmosphere for breathing. The thoughts are there to function and communicate in this world sanely and intelligently."

.....
For the first time, a man has broken away from the religious background (referring to Jiddu Krishnamurti—ed.), and already his teachings are outmoded, outdated, and misleading. J.K. has chosen the psychological form of explanation, which is already passé. You cannot destroy J.K., but the framework o thought he has created is already outdated and useless. The problem is not psychological, but physiological. This body has not fundamentally changed for hundreds of thousands of years. Its propensity to follow leaders, to avoid solitude, to wage war, to join groups—all such traits are in the genetic make-up of mankind, part of his biological inheritance.
Q: Leaving aside the question of whether evil or good is possible for an organism that is already genetically programmed to be brutal and warlike, do not the religious practices—meditation, yoga, humility, etc.—attempt to help man go beyond these biological limitations?
