This very important work offers penetrating dialogues between the
great spiritual leader and the renowned physicist that shed light
on the fundamental nature of existence. Krishnamurti and David Bohm
probe such questions as 'why has humanity made thought so important
in every aspect of life? How does one cleanse the mind of the
'accumulation of time' and break the 'pattern of ego -centered
activity'?The Ending of Time concludes by referring to the wrong
turn humanity has taken, but does not see this as something from
which there is no escape. There is an insistence that mankind can
change fundamentally; but this requires going from one's narrow and
particular interests toward the general, and ultimately moving
still deeper into that purity of compassion, love and intelligence
that originates beyond thought, time, or even emptiness.
Allerd Stikker witnessed and actively participated in the Daoist
resurgence, together with the Alliance of Religions and
Conservation. Strikker shares his fascination for Daoism, and
explains how nature conservation is deeply rooted in its philosophy
and practice. He tells the story of his cooperation with ARC in
assisting Daoist masters to build the first Daoist Ecology Temple
in China, and how this ecology movement has spread throughout China
in recent years. He shares his joy when the Chinese government
picked up on this success and officially declared that Daoism
should be restored as the heart of Chinese culture, in order to
overcome the ecological and societal problems that China is facing
- thereby putting Daoism officially back on the map.
