What to expect

Fear and Pleasure Are Movements of Time Public Talk • Madras (Chennai), 1977–78 In this insightful public talk, J. Krishnamurti examines the close relationship between fear, pleasure, thought and time. He asks whether fear is created by an immediate fact, or by thought recalling past pain and projecting possible suffering into the future. In the same way, pleasure is sustained through memory, anticipation and the desire for repetition. Krishnamurti explores whether the mind can observe these movements without control, suppression or escape, and whether psychological time can come to an end through complete attention. A profound enquiry into memory, desire, thought and the possibility of living free from the patterns of fear and pleasure.
