J. Krishnamurti Online

How is the unconscious to be exposed without effort, without analysis, without the conscious mind examining? You have your unconscious, deep down, with its secret motives and pursuits. The racial, family and collective demands are stored up and how is all that to come out? Is it important for it to come out? We think it is terribly important - at least that is what you have been told by the analysts and psychologists. Now I ask myself, must it be explored? I know what it is. It is the racial conditioning, the conditioning born in a certain group or family, with its traditions, fears and superstitions. Is it necessary for it to be exposed? When the mind is aware, attentive, the interference of the unconscious is immediately seen and put aside. In that, there is no wastage of energy or time in investigating. When the mind is conscious, aware, any movement from the deep layers of consciousness shows its head, and you can deal with it instantly if you don’t choose. Why do you choose? Please find out where choice is necessary and where choice doesn’t exist at all. Choice only exists when there is confusion. When there is clarity, there is no choice. In choiceless awareness, in total attention, whatever hints and intimations the unconscious projects can be dealt with instantly and ended so that the content of the unconscious is wiped away.
