Hi, Bjorn,
Welcome to the pod. I think it's interesting that you mention The Wholeness of Life today – I was just looking at that book last night, after years of not having picked it up. I was skimming through it and recalling what a good, inspiring, challenging book it was for me when I first read it.
I also discovered Krishnamurti about the same time you did – and had the same reaction! I thought I must be unlucky, since I had also really wanted to meet Thomas Merton several years before, and had been disappointed to hear he'd already passed away (though this time not so closely in time).
As you know, I have not felt the same resonance with Andrew Cohen as I did with K or some other teachers, but I do agree that he is going forward in a similar spirit – cutting free from dependency on the past, diving into the open-ended now.
Best wishes,
Balder
