Subtitles available in: ENGLISH J. Krishnamurti – Ojai 1978 – Public Meeting 1 – When there is no pressure there is freedom Language acts as a great pressure and distorts communication and clarity of thinking. Any pressure, whether economic, social, moral, idealistic, or of authority, is a distorting factor. Our moral, ethical, religious, political and economic structure is based on the principle of pressure. We are living either in past yesterdays or in future yesterdays. The future is yesterday passing through the present, modified and going on; it is still yesterday. Can you be free of ideals and the pressure of conflict that comes about between ‘what is’ and ‘what should be’? Any form of institution is a distorting factor in life. When the brain has accepted the institution as a means of safety, security, status, a position, then it functions mechanically. To look at ‘what is’ without any distortion means without any pressure. Then you begin to have an insight into something which is not the action of remembrance, but an insight which is totally divorced from thought, from memory, from experience. --- This channel is managed by the Krishnamurti Foundation Trust, UK, and by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America. The role of the foundations was described by Krishnamurti when he said, 'The foundations will see to it that these teachings are kept whole, are not distorted, are not made corrupt. They will not give rise to any sectarian spirit in their activities... nor create any kind of place of worship around the teachings or the person. ' We maintain extensive archives of Krishnamurti's original works and all four Krishnamurti foundations are actively engaged in the publication of material in various forms. Our videos contain thousands of subtitles in more than 25 languages, translated by volunteers from all over the world.
