Review

'A good introduction to the essential thinking of both men.' - Network

'A series of seven discussions between Bohm and Krishnamurti... is not likely to be an easy read, but persevere and you will find your mind spring-cleaned and, maybe, some of your sloppier habits of thought corrected.' - World Faiths Encounter

Product Description

The penetrating dialogues between Jiddu Krishnamurti and David Bohm in The Limits of Thought, is the first time that an in-depth and sustained discussion has been recorded between a leading religious teacher and a prominent physicist. The starting point of their engaging exchange is the question, "Has humanity taken a wrong turn, which has brought about endless division, conflict, and destruction?"

Bohm and Krishnamurti explore the nature of humanity and a person's relationship to society, and provide new insights on human thought, death, awakening insight, cosmic order, and the problem of the fragmented mind. At the heart of these discussions lies each of our own ideas about ourselves, a consciousness made up of all sorts of misconceptions about the "me."

The friendly dialogue between Krishnamurti and Bohm, spanning almost twenty-five years, probed some of the most essential questions of our very existence.

4.0 out of 5 stars an in depth analysis of the limits of thought, November 1, 1999
By Frank Bierbrauer (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An excellent investigation of thought by Krishnamurti and Bohm. The style is one of question and answer, first the illuminating insights of Krishnamurti followed by the in depth questioning of Bohm. At times one gets lost in the concepts Krishnamurti uses to expand on his views but in the nick of time Bohm clarifies the issue with his well known brand of questioning. It is indeed rare to find such a book which so deeply investigates the subtlety of thought, its construction of the `self' and its uses and abuses so to speak. As typical of Krishnamurti and Bohm this book is important and lacks any kind of fantasy component or unecessary terms. Perfect for psychologists, scienists and laymen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book and introduction of K'teachings by David Bohm, July 1, 1999
By A Customer
According to Troxell and Snyder Krishnamurti is leading philosophers away from reliance on abstract thought to greater concern for a direct awareness of ourselves in the world....and together with David Bohm in these further dialogs, the result is of extraordinary importance, which is affecting all thinking areas.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to find a way to a full life, June 27, 2009
Having gone through K and Bohm ideas before, I found this conversations as the perfect summary to work, confront, feel and develop a profound understanding of the root source of our lives: the thinking-feeling- perceptual process.

And it is not a description based on science or religion or other human disciplines, although the two authors have enough background to cover these areas. It is based in the answer we all can reach if we have the interest, the time, the intuition to look for.

I thank these two notable men for sharing their passion for truth with everybody
