The Second Observer

The paradox that might save us from ourselves. Something that puzzled me about Krishnamurti’s paradoxical double use of the word observer, besides the fact that he was basically a non dualist, came down to the realisation that I’d conditioned myself to the understanding that the observer was always outside thought looking in.
