This comprehensive record of Krishnamurti’s teaching is an excellent, wide-ranging introduction to the great philosopher’s thought.
Within general discussion of conflict, fear, violence, religious experience, self-knowledge, and intelligence, Krishnamurti examines specific issues, such as the role of the teacher and tradition; the need for awareness of “cosmic consciousness”; the problem of good and evil; and traditional Vedanta methods of help for different levels of seekers.
Krishnamuri discusses these themes with Jacob Needleman. Alain Naude, and Swami Venkatasananda, among others. “The Awakening of Intelligence” is indispensable for all those intent on a fuller understanding of Krishnamurti’s teaching.

“Have you ever wondered what it would be like to rid yourself of fear and become at peace with yourself and your surroundings? If you have, this is the book for you.
Through a series of conversations, J. Krishnamurti gives a breif overview of many of his contraversial beliefs. This is a wonderful introduction to a different world.
A world without avarice and malice, but with love and intelligence filling the void of the modern man/woman. This book is a great starting block not only to the works of Krishnamurti, but to a new way of thinking an living. “

“In Awakening of Intelligence, Krishnamurti repeats the same message that he has always stated: The past, which is the known, keeps us bound. The mind is conditioned by patterns of thought, operating through grooves in the mind that result from clinging to experiences. By repeating and reinforcing these same patterns, a perception is solidified and reality is, consequently, fragmented.
This book helped me a couple of years ago by serving as an introduction to perceptual, empirical conditioning. Krishnamurti’s works served as a theoretical springboard to jump into, and fully realize, the pith of his message:
Liberation is spontaneous and non-mechanical. Liberation is freedom from the known. To be in a state of unknowing is the ultimate intelligence and the utmost paradox”

“I’ve read this literally dozens of times. you find something new every time. i love it. i am a big fan of krishnamurti so i am a little biased.
This book is just a series of speeches and lectures; but put together in a most excellent manner… to put a summary on the book in laemans: he breaks conscious thought down into the most simplest of forms, and from there we find our answers to awareness, human emotion and function.”
