Brave New World and New Order

This is very important point as my Iranian friend has pointed out to me. Iranian revolution took biological dictator to religious dictator, no real changes but name only. We must pay all attention to this issue or we would loose countless more lives and continue with misery, cruelty and suffering.

This is a such large subject I recommend reader to first examine the most poignant voice of the modern times J Krishnamurti who was invited speaker to UN Peace conference 1984, It is posted on YouTube.

His position is that no fundamental changes can occur through organizations for it is only a modified continuation. New blind leader will lead blind followers. Fundamental changes can only happen at individual level. It is the individual that must change for society is but a sum of the individuals. The society can not change, it is the individual that changes through correct education, awareness and investigation.

It is a tall order but he said at 1984 address 'UN existed for 40 years, and will it bring peace 40 more years of UN? Almost 30 years have passed and there is no fundamental changes at all through organizations. This is perhaps most difficult to understand we must put the right questions on the table for wrong questions leads to irrelevant answers.

M Gandhi pointed out that no government is needed if we are educated correctly but if there is one he would prefer that one would be self ruled. Not much better though, This is clear if you looked at India and Pakistan with all the conflicts, misery, hunger, cruelty and suffering.

Uncountable millions NGO Non Governmental Organizations at national levels and 40,000 international level has not brought any fundamental changes and it never will. One organization is always in conflict with an other. All systems are in state of corruption. No system can work for all systems are rigid.

Fundamental changes can come only through total revolution and transformation of the individual. It will not come through any system, no matter honest good intent or not. The individual must find out the truth by him or her self through observation, investigation and intelligence. Krishnamurti points out that this is not most people want to touch with 10 foot pole for it requires serious and total attention. It is extremely arduous, it is life in constant flux, it demands all of one's attention or he will miss it.
