This seminal collection of works by Allan Anderson expresses his
deep concern with vital matters that are shared by all of humanity.
His exploration into questions that profoundly affect people of
every race and gender, from every quarter of the globe, are brought
into focus in his discerning questions posed to J. Krishnamurti. In
1974 he held 18 one hour conversations with the philosopher,
teacher and author Krishnamurti, who was perhaps the most noted
iconoclast of his day. One who spoke on a wide range of topics,
often focusing on 'what is', as he put it. His teaching pointed
again and again to not being hobbled by the influence of others, be
they those we look up to such as Gurus, Priests and Masters but,
also the culture into which we are born, with its deep impact on
our conditioned mindset. Our admiration can also include Rulers,
Kings or Dictators whose iron hand can impose a sense of order into
the confusion and disorder of our lives. Our beliefs, the rules set
out by our conditioned past, can prevent us from direct observation
and true insight. As a teacher Krishnamurti did not offer comfort
or consolation, but rather asked that we take direct responsibility
for our actions and to our relationship with others. As the
interviews continued under the challenging exploration of both
Anderson and Krishnamurti, the topics plumb depths that could only
be achieved by those who are able to interact with direct
responsiveness. The universality of the topics, ranging in part
from questions regarding Fear, Desire, Death, Religion and
Authority and lastly Meditation, to offering the widest scope for
those willing to face essential questions. The rapport with which
the two men interact, the open minded approach to serious issues,
indicate not only the depth and passion of their concern but the
ability to really listen. Each responding to the other, not as if
from across the ravine of pre-held positions, but each looking
afresh at every issue as it arises. Lastly, the awakening of that
supreme intelligence which does not depend on any authority and
which is beyond all thought can only come about from the
well-spring of direct perception. Each man, in his own way, makes
clear that such perception is possible. (From the Foreword by
Evelyne Blau)
