Summary: Lucid, intelligent & punctures mankind's invisible bell jar
Comment: I was introduced to Krishnamurti in 1975 by a friend and contemporary of his. I wasn't, yet, ready for such a revelation as Krishnamurti represented. "The Ending Of Time" is perhaps the most significant book I've read in my almost fifty years on this planet. He punctures the bell jar of that Garden of Delusion and Deception humankind has created. This is the first perspective not to insult me intellectually. As I read the series of dialogues between Krishnamurti and Dr. Bohm in 1980 I found myself correctly anticipating where the conversation was going. For the past twenty-five years I've been heading in this direction. I'm not one for romantic notions, mythical excapades and fantasy or in need of an emotional fix to save my soul. I was looking for something that was both intellegent and spoke to me directly.
I had recently finished "The Tao Of Physics" by Fritjof Capra for the third time. Capra's book serves as an excellent practical guide and springboard into the likes of a Krishnamurti; in fact, I think it was reading "The Tao Of Physics" that allowed me to have the type of foundation and understanding to make the quantum leap into the realm of Krishnamurti. I am currently reading "Star In The East". I'm interesting in understanding Krishnamurti's personal history. The one thing that strikes me most is, his "enlightenment" is because and, more importantly, inspite of his involvement with the Theosophical Society. The contrast that emerges between one like Krishnamurti and those who have obviously not punctured that invisible bell share of delusion and deception is glaring, and serves to make Krishnamurti even more poignant and relevant.
Anyone with a similar appreciation for Krishnamurti please contact me. I would very much like to learn and have a dialogue on both this lovely man and his state of mind.

Summary: Heavy reading but very worth the effort
Comment: These two powerhouses just chat all the way throught the book. A 3-day dialogue. Seems simple, but the ideas are so big that you have to take time to get your head around it. It's a lot to digest, but SO worth the effort. For an easier beginning, Krishnamurti's THINK ON THESE THINGS is an excellent start. In it he asks questions that we all have asked in our lives and then begins to answer so you can contemplate further.

Summary: Pass the joint.
Comment: Yuk! and they call this the disemination of ideas.
I am with hawkesed (another reviewer) in considering
this book a waste of ink on paper. Written in a dialogue
style of Socrates, it was difficult to maintain a line of
though as these two in discussion jump all over the place.
This makes reading difficult for me and surely does not help
the disemination of any ideas. I'm sure these two had
something to say, but they did not say it to me.
Purchasing this book was a waste of money and shelf space.
Sorry Thomas.
