And I just want to add, Nermin, that from here you can follow up with Clemsy in the Village Compound thread. Good luck with this. :)

Dear Andeas;

The link to the documentry you posted is awesome. I found the most unbelievable clip of a lecture from Jiddu Krishnamurti done in 1966: " The Real Revolution "; and a shorter clip that was part of a documentry done on him. called; " The Challenge of Change ". These two opened a wonderful little treasure trove of material from other sources. ( For those who are unfamiliar with him; Krishnamurti was one of the first major influences of Joseph Campbell that helped open up his interest into the whole world of eastern thought and is specified as a critical chance meeting in the " The Hero's Journey " documentry. ) I spent several raptureous hours going from clip to cilp watching this material. 8)

Added this list to my others ; now all I need is the time to watch all this stuff! :wink: :lol:


Cheers

Hah! Not my site, Nermin. Just a site with a library of videos.

As for the right choice, I leave that decision to whoever is searching. :)

I only meant 'the website that you suggested', we knew that site this way,
so in a sense that became 'your' site :)

Nermin BTW; There is more Krisnamurti documentry material to give you a little background on him if you are interested. Try the " Challenge of Change " that will open up some access to other clips on his history and lectures. When Joe had this chance encounter it was supposedly a big moment in opening up his exposure to eastern thought as I said before. The " Hero's Journey " is very clear on this. I found this quite fascinating.

Andeas, This was the first I had ever seen on him; but then I had never thought to use Google. :lol:

Cheers :)

Only had time for bits and pieces, but it is an enriching experience to take in, and I can imagine a future when I might make time to see the documentaries in their entirety.

Quite a nice, growing list.

Hello all, that's a documentary about the life of a great man, Alan Turing, a war hero and
one of the fathers of today's computer science. Thanks

Is-it true that late Steve Jobs of Apples inspired from him when designing the company logo?

Thank you, James. He's indeed a very great philosopher inviting the audience to
face themselves. But people like me cannot make without those warmish legends
from Indian astral. May-I ask your opinion on this?

Hey Nermin.

India to me is such a fabulous culture; and what limited exposure I have had to it's folklore is fascinating. I think I recall Joseph saying it was one of the most spiritual places he had ever been. I thought Micheal Woods documentry called: "The Story of India " was absolutely spectacular. ( BTW I saw it listed on the same documentry website we just mentioned; and it's also brought up earlier on this thread so forgive any redundancy here. ) It is dazzling if you haven't already seen it.. As far as more material at the moment I'm already kind of covered up with several other subjects but will explore more topical interests in this area at a later time; ( but definately something I want to be more familiar with ). I'm just getting into Jung with Cindy's help right now; and with playing music and work my time is pretty well spent. ( Then there is always the forums here; which I absolutely cannot do without. :lol: )


Cheers :)

James, that's Cindy who introduced most of us to Jungian understanding of human
condition, we all owe her so much in this respect. One can feel that you're a musician,
one can even hear the tune between lines when you're talking :wink:
