Freedom from the known

I find it interesting how substantial Krishnamurti's readership and following is, despite the difficulty of the material he produced. The immediacy of timeless states, the awareness of anatta, and the penetration of sensation by deep meditation — none of these things is easily accessible. None can be learned from a book and Krishnamurti points out as much. It is a testament to his clear writing and the evocation of familiar analogs that a lay person is able to read his work at all.

Clear views on how to live in the moment, stop overthinking and intellectualizing truth, beauty, peace, and instead see them as the instantaneous unconditioned dynamic realities of the living. Very big on rejecting spiritual authority, somewhat conflicted about rejecting self.

Also, clearly frustrated with meditation experience seeking of the '60s, repeatedly asking "why do you want to be told in a book what thoughts to think? Ask yourself instead."
