\nA Totally Different
\nDimension<\/font><\/b>\u00a0\u00a0
\n<\/font>\u00a0 by Pieter Langedijk <\/font>
\n\u00d3 <\/font>
\nThe Quest<\/font><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nAt the university I
\nlearned that in our mind there is a thinking and a feeling part. There is
\nsomething as a conscious part, which covers 10 percent of our mind, and an
\nunconscious part, which is 90 percent of our mind.\u00a0 K says that beside this mind
\nwhich is conditioned from our birth, there is a \u0091Totally Different Dimension\u0092 of
\nwhich most people do not have any idea. This ‘totally different dimension’ is
\nbeyond thought and above ‘words’. But I learned that we can have contact with
\nthat \u0091totally different dimension\u0092 and even be \u0091one\u0092 with that dimension when we
\nhave a clear mind, when we really know who we are, that we must be able to think
\nvery logically and that we must be very quiet inside, etc.\u00a0 Many times he uses
\nthe word ‘awareness’.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nKrishnamurti said many
\ntimes that all information is in one\u0092s own mind, but I think that he means by
\nmind something different and more than just the normal mind that psychology
\nspeaks about. Perhaps he means by mind, that \u0091Totally Different Dimension\u0092, of
\nwhich we are part of, without realizing that.\u00a0 The Goal of Life, or of many
\nlives,\u00a0 is that one realizes that one is \u0091That\u0092. Every person, who lives on\u00a0
\nthis earth, not only the scientists and priests. but also the farmer, a poor
\nperson, etc have the potential ability to have contact\u00a0 with that \u0091Totally
\nDifferent Dimension\u0092. Our minds are indoctrinated with the ‘knowledge and
\nexperiences of parents, teachers, priests, politicians, who are themselves
\nindoctrinated by their parents, teachers and so it goes on for thousands of
\ngenerations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nNot a guru<\/span><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nK<\/span> <\/span>
\nsaid many times<\/span> <\/span>
\nthat he does not want to
\nbe a guru who tells us how to think and what to do, that we must not believe in
\nany guru, and that we must find out for ourselves. On several times he said in
\nhis books that he<\/span> himself<\/span>
\nstarted in this way \u0096 to listen to all kinds of people, looking around,
\nobserving how people behave, what they say, how they react \u0096 he found that what
\nhe saw was not the real thing. By rejecting everything, every theory, every
\nbelief and asking questions about everything, he discovered what was Real. I
\nthink that observing everything means that one uses one’s brains very well,
\nespecially the lower parts of the left part of the brain, which has to do with
\nsecond hand knowledge. Every time we use some part of the brain, that part is
\nactivated and more blood goes to that part and so one’s intelligence is aroused.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Asking questions
\nhas to do with the higher levels of the left hemisphere, so that part also
\nbecomes more active and trained. Thinking has to do with the \u0091frontal\u0092 part of
\nthe brain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe teachings of K
\nare very \u0091abstract\u0092<\/span><\/b><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nAs a therapist I meet
\nmany people with different problems. Some people are stressed, they feel tense,
\nhave sleeping problems. Others have very cold hands and feet or have sleeping
\nproblems. I talk with children with study problems and concentration problems.
\nThere are women who have difficulty getting pregnant. There are parents whose
\nchildren are hyperactive, and they want to know what to do with them. There are
\npeople who do not eat the right food or who have migraine every day. About all
\nthese things K did not talk. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nHe said that he looks to
\nthe working of the mind, but it looks very theoretical. When one says that to
\nhim, he says that he is very practical.<\/span>
\n<\/span>Once I talked
\nabout our numerous daily problems and asked him why he never talked about those.
\nHe answered that that was not his task. I shall write about that talk later.<\/span><\/p>\n
