TheMackle ,

No other message is quite like his.

As one who discovered “The First and Last Freedom” many years ago, I now find myself getting deeper and deeper into understanding what Jiddu is talking about. But this only came through discovering and learning to know myself, not him. Not sure there is much more I can say. Signposts show up in our lives and JK has been the most influential to me letting go and being love.

KIND OF SPEECHLESS & AWESTRUCK!

Incredible. Stunning, intense and powerful. The beauty of J. Krishnamurti is that he is absolutely Original and Authentic. Nothing can get any better than that.

Enjoy this podcast, it could very well turn into the adventure you wished not to have surely missed at all.

Love,
Riken
