Krishnamurti on Belief

‘Belief is a projection or an invention of thought. But we are attached to it because it gives a certain feeling of security, however illusory it is.’

This week’s episode on Belief has five sections.

The first extract (2:33) is from Krishnamurti’s sixth talk in Ojai 1976, titled: Religion Is Not Belief.
