We should do things because we get something out of it and make the choice ourselves. That's a good reason to reference Krishnamurti, because his story can remind us of that.
I also like the Zen idea of sitting, just sitting and not being obligated to "do" something about pressures in life. Krishnamurti seems to be disciplined in life that way.
Every now and then you hear of these people that live their whole life as a meditation. Nobody is always centered though. Life is changing and there's no such thing as a perfect being. But, these people inspire us and that's ok.
So, yeah, investigate and read things for yourself, but make sure you make the choices in your life and don't be run by what so called authorities have told you to do. Good point not to take it too serious. So if you're following your bliss and not just what so called authorities like Tim Leary, Alan Watts, Ram Dass, jesus, krishnamurti or anybody else have to say, that's a good thing.
I'm going to subscribe to this thread to see if it lives and just incase anybody wants to pick my brain.
