K, Dr Bohm and Dr. Shainberg investigate the nature of thought, which unfolds itself though the discussion. Dr.Bohm is instrumental in bringing out the meaning in K's insightful statements. The discussion flows through the inquiry of thought into the possibility of a completely transformed mind, and hence humanity. A treat for anyone interested in finding out what this whole mess around and within us is about. Not for someone who wants an answer, but for someone who is deeply interested in the inquiry, or the nature of it.

It was wonderful to watch Krishnamurti on video for the first time, it's much better to actually see and hear him speak rather than just reading the dry lines in a book.
I have to say, though, that Shainberg was totally clueless, and Bohm, even though he had some great points and insights, is so timid that he looks like if you said "boo" he'd wet his pants.
Krishnamurti guides them through the discussion very adeptly and comes to the conclusion of what exactly is "enlightenment" or "emptiness" spoken of in Buddhism and Hinduism.
