Krishnamurti on Depression and Anxiety

About this episode

‘I have anxiety and I have projected a state of not being anxious. To arrive at that state, I think I need time. But I never ask: Can this anxiety be changed immediately?’

This week’s episode on Depression & Anxiety has five sections.

The first extract (2:42) is from Krishnamurti’s first talk in Paris 1966, and is titled: We Separate Ourselves From Anxiety.

The second extract (16:32) is from the first question and answer meeting in Saanen 1983, and is titled: Love, Loneliness, Depression and Anxiety.

The third extract (30:12) is from Krishnamurti’s second talk at Brockwood Park in 1984, and is titled: Everyone in the World Goes Through Depression and Anxiety.

The fourth extract (44:34) is from the second talk in Saanen 1980, and is titled: Can Anxiety Be Analysed?

The final extract in this episode (56:06) is from Krishnamurti’s fourth talk at Brockwood Park in 1980, and is titled: The End of Anxiety.

Each episode of the Krishnamurti podcast features carefully selected clips from Krishnamurti’s talks. The aim is to represent different aspects of Krishnamurti’s radical approach to many of the issues and questions we all face in our lives.

Upcoming themes are Choice, Matter and Space.
