Visiting the Krishnamurti Foundation + Library in Ojai, California
Looking back, it's almost like the book Total Freedom was a pre-requisite for this relationship. Barry read it before he met Sydney, and recommended Sydney read it when she got bit by the skydiving bug.
Total Freedom is one of many of Jiddhu Krishnamurti's works and it has shaped how both of us move through the world, see our surroundings, and has really changed our lives. When we were in Ventura and realized how close we were to Ojai, we decided to take the morning and afternoon to wander the grounds, read some of Krishnamurti's work at the library (his former home), and have some incredible conversations with the people who find themselves there.
Most notably, we met a man named Troy after we did our initial lap around the property. If you have a chance to visit the Foundation and see the paintings in the main building, most of them have been loaned to the organization by Troy. He's not native to the area, but when he and his wife landed in Ojai, he started coming to the Foundation property to paint different aspects of the land at different times during the year.
Let's just say our conversation with Troy was one of the most enlightened conversations we've ever had with a total stranger, and was exactly the confirmation we needed at exactly the right time.
This doesn't even begin to cover the significance that Krishnamurti's work has had on Barry's life in particular, but you can see it in his face at the beginning of the video - this man isn't in awe often, but that day he was.
I'd go back there every day just to see that look on his face!

J. Krishnamurti - Ojai 1975 - Interview on education by Fred Hall
Ojai 1975 - Interview on education by Fred Hall
Summary:
Q: You are working toward the realisation of a new school in the Ojai Valley, an educational centre. Why another school?
Q: Would you mind taking those three words: ‘whole’, ‘sane’ and ‘holy’, and explaining to me what you mean?
Q: You talk of a school as a place where one learns both the importance of knowledge and its irrelevance. Can you explain ‘irrelevance’?
Q: I’d like to ask you about three more words: ‘thought’, ‘love’, ‘death’, in the context of your views of them. If I may quote the pamphlet, you say, ‘It is here one learns the importance of relationship which is not based on attachment or possessiveness. It is in the school one must learn about the movement of thought, love and death, for all this is the whole of life.’
Q: You have travelled far and spoken often and have been heard by millions, and you have created several schools with another now in the offing. Do you feel that you have made a dent, that you’ve communicated meaningfully with large numbers of people?

J. Krishnamurti - Ojai 1949 - Public Talk 1 - Does self-knowledge come through searching?
What is it that most of us are seeking?
Does clarity come through searching and trying to find out what others say?
Can incessant search and longing give you the extraordinary sense of reality or creative being that comes when you really understand yourself?
Without knowing your background and the substance of your thought, where it comes from, surely your search is utterly futile and your action has no meaning.
The responsibility for any action depends on ourselves, not on others.
Q: Do I have to be at any special level of consciousness to understand you?
Q: The movement of life is experienced in relationship to people and to ideas.

J. Krishnamurti - Ojai 1985 - Public Talk 3 - Creation is never ending
J. Krishnamurti - Ojai 1985 - Public Talk 3 - Creation is never ending
Summary:
The real meaning of the highest form of yoga was to have a very deeply orderly, moral, ethical life, not just merely taking various postures.
Is not beauty something that takes place when you are not?
Pleasure goes with fear; it's the other side of the coin.
We admire, extol and idolise power, whether spiritual power of the religious hierarchy, the power of a politician or the power of money. To the speaker, power is evil.
Success is utter mediocrity.
Is there an end to sorrow?
Love has nothing to do with any organisation or person.
There is no path to love or truth - one has to live it.

Hanging out in Ventura & Ojai, California (My College Towns)
We went out to get some beach & mountain air! I went to film school in Ventura, and lived in Ojai for a good portion of my time there. This is a quick video showing you a few things!

As a youngster I saw Jiddu Krishnamurti speak at the Oak Grove in Ojai in 1983, 1984, 1985. In this video I take you on a mini tour of the Oak Grove where he spoke for over 60 years before his death in 1986 at the age of 91. Krishnamurti was not a guru or leader, and I was not and am not his follower. He was simply an intelligent human who looked at what is.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - 4: Breaking the pattern of egocentric activity
Series: The Ending of Time
Summary:
What will make a human being change, deeply, fundamentally, radically?
Will I, as a human being, give up my egocentric activity completely?
The more knowledge I have acquired, as I have evolved, as I have grown, as I have experienced, it has strengthened me, and I have been walking on that path for millennia. Perhaps I may have to look at this problem totally differently - which is not to walk on that path at all; discard all knowledge I have acquired.
Explanations have been the boat on which to cross to the other shore. The man on the other shore says there is no boat. Cross!
What happens to me when I meet something that is completely solid, immovable, absolutely true?
Psychological knowledge has made us dull.

J Krishnamurti on Enlightenment
Jiddu Krishnamurti Quotes:
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay.
A man who is not afraid is not aggressive, a man who has no sense of fear of any kind is really a free, a peaceful man.
You must understand the whole of life, not just one little part of it. That is why you must read, that is why you must look at the skies, that is why you must sing and dance, and write poems and suffer and understand, for all that is life.
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or a Christian or a European or anything else, you are being violent. Do you see why it is violent? Because you are separating yourself from the rest of mankind. When you separate yourself by belief, by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery.
Jiddu Krishnamurti 12 May 1895 – 17 February 1986) was an Indian philosopher, speaker and writer. In his early life he was groomed to be the new World Teacher but later rejected this mantle and withdrew from the Theosophy organization behind it. His subject matter included psychological revolution, the nature of mind, meditation, inquiry, human relationships, and bringing about radical change in society. He constantly stressed the need for a revolution in the psyche of every human being and emphasized that such revolution cannot be brought about by any external entity, be it religious, political, or social.
Krishnamurti was born in India. In early adolescence he had a chance encounter with prominent occultist and theosophist Charles Webster Leadbeater in the grounds of the Theosophical Society headquarters at Adyar in Madras. He was subsequently raised under the tutelage of Annie Besant and Leadbeater, leaders of the Society at the time, who believed him to be a 'vehicle' for an expected World Teacher. As a young man, he disavowed this idea and dissolved the Order of the Star in the East, an organisation that had been established to support it.
Krishnamurti said he had no allegiance to any nationality, caste, religion, or philosophy, and spent the rest of his life travelling the world, speaking to large and small groups and individuals. He wrote many books, among them The First and Last Freedom, The Only Revolution, and Krishnamurti's Notebook. Many of his talks and discussions have been published. His last public talk was in Madras, India, in January 1986, a month before his death at his home in Ojai, California. His supporters — working through non-profit foundations in India, Great Britain and the United States — oversee several independent schools based on his views on education. They continue to transcribe and distribute his thousands of talks, group and individual discussions, and writings by use of a variety of media formats and languages.

J. Krishnamurti & David Bohm - Ojai 1980 - 8: Can insight be awakened in another?
Series: The Ending of Time
Summary:
What is the relationship to society of a man who has insight? What is his action with regard to war and the whole world?
Q: What is the significance of mankind in the universe, or in the ground?
‘Y’ is concerned with ‘Show me, prove it to me, what benefit it has, will I get my future...’ And he is looking at ‘X’ with the eyes that are so accustomed to this pettiness. He reduces that immensity to his pettiness and puts it in a temple, and has therefore lost it completely. But there is something so immense that ‘X’ says, ‘Please do look at this,’ and ‘Y’ translates this into, ‘Show it to me, prove it to me, will I have a better life?’
‘X’ brings light. That’s all he can do.
To divert the course of man’s destruction somebody must listen.

J. Krishnamurti - Brockwood Park 1979 - Seminar 2 - Observing my prejudice
Summary:
Q: What is correct action in a deteriorating world?
The world is me and I am the world.
In this disordered, violent society with its terror, confusion, misery, what am I to do as a human being, what is my action? Is there an action that is accurate, precise and not self-centred?
Can I observe myself, which is the society without any distortion, without any illusion? I have prejudices of various kinds - opinions, prejudgements, experiences - to which my mind in memory is attached. What will make us, each one of us, drop our prejudices?
Is the observer different from the bundle of prejudices? I change completely when I see the truth that the observer is that bundle.

Ventura County wildfire rages over 50,000 acres, California. Part 2
Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in Ventura County on Tuesday morning as Roughly 3,000 homes were evacuated and 1,000 personnel battled the Thomas fire.
At least 150 structures including at least one large apartment complex and the Vista Del Mar Hospital, a psychiatric facility — were consumed by flames.
The blaze started about 6:25 p.m. Monday in the foothills near Thomas Aquinas College in Santa Paula.
Power outages also caused problems for firefighters Monday night and rendered some pumping systems inoperable, said Ventura County Fire Capt. Steve Kaufmann. Some hydrants couldn’t get water pumped to them because there was no power, he said.
At one point in Ojai, the entire water system went down, including hydrants and drinking water, because a pumping system was damaged by the fire, Kaufmann said.
In addition to the Ventura County Fairgrounds in Ventura and Nordhoff High School in Ojai, evacuation centers have been set up at the Oxnard College gymnasium and Santa Paula Community Center.
