Very interesting and mostly self-sufficient community, particularly the elder care and biodynamic farming, but not quite my cup of tea. I think one of Jiddu Krishnamurti’s most insightful and valuable actions was rejecting the Theosophists’ mantle of world teacher and disbanding of the Order of the Star. This refusal to participate in the hierarchy prevented yet another cult of spiritual control and empowered the individual in all matters of spiritual investigation, perhaps the most important thing I gained from his teachings. I worked with a woman once that wore an 'Order of the Star' badge , I asked her 'Isnt that finished by now ?" " Not with me it isn't ! " Jiddu was rather pop here ( well, in Sydney ) at one stage . he was supposed to come when he was still being touted as world teacher* ..... another Theosophical fiasco ! * reception amphitheater for Krishnamurti , Sydney Harbor ; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Amphitheatre 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
