The Immeasurable is dedicated to exploring the essential questions of our existence: who we are and where we are going. The intent is to inspire readers to question assumptions of the mind, offering opportunities to ask deep questions into common life themes which are superficially accepted.
We encourage an investigation into the fabric of reality and our physical and cultural conditioning. In this exploration, we might find a new understanding of time and its relation to our thinking processes. A perception of the interconnectedness within the totality of life might arise in us as our perception expands through these explorations.

“Surely, to find out what is true your mind must be free to inquire, which means that it cannot merely accept or believe. I can give you a description of the truth, but it will not be the same thing as your experiencing the truth for yourself.”
J. Krishnamurti
Life Ahead book
All teachers say that you don’t have to accept what they say but experience it for ourselves ; i would add to that that we should not be afraid to not agree with
them or complement their teachings where we think something is missing . For example : K said : no ” method ” will help : i don’t agree ; a method is useful
to the degree it leads us to no more need a method . For most people a method is a stepping stone .
If we only accept because of the fame of the teacher we could as well accept any dogma of the past .
By respect of K , associations around his teachings don’t do that enough .
Who are these beautiful people?! What a wonderful conversation, what an inspiration. The interviewer is so real and authentic, it’s with great joy that I listened and experienced this essential talk, thank you deeply!
Thank you so much! This was very insightful. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
For NOBODY a method is a stepping stone. To see that is freedom.
Thought and consciesness are two different things. Thought is abstract and ego and therefore always in the past, so not new, not in the here and now. However awareness is the attention of all that is happening in the moment. Both internally and also around you. If there is complete attention without the I, the ego, than there is no observer, there is only observation. The I has absolutely no part in this.If it does than there can be no total attention. Only in total attention /awareness there can be seen that what really is, not that which we want to see. But the fact of the reality of what is. So the past is now, the future is also now,so death is now. J.Krishnamurti
As K. said we have got to find the TRUE in the darkness, I mean without a image , with known ideas . If you get it you will be free.
