Krishnamurti Foundation Trust is a non-profit charitable organisation; once a year, we ask for your support through our Annual Appeal: https://www.kfoundation.org/appeal
Understanding the global impact of new technologies is an increasing challenge for us today. The ever-accelerating pace of computer use, particularly in the realm of artificial intelligence, makes this challenge even more critical. Questions concerning how we, as human beings, honestly meet these technologies were foreseen almost half a century ago by Krishnamurti.
At Brockwood Park, we endeavour to uphold, in the schools, Centre and Foundation, a deep and ongoing consideration of such technological impact, not least in maintaining the integrity of the teachings and making them widely, non-interpretatively, available to all.
If you feel that Krishnamurti has had an impact on your life, now is the time to help support and enable the activities and structures that he set in motion, especially as we currently have a generous offer to match all donations to this annual appeal (up to £100,000).
It takes considerable funds to run all that happens at Brockwood, and your donation no matter how small or large, will make a difference. Thank you.
‘What becomes of you when what you think, what you feel, what you have – all that thought – the machine can do? Do you understand the seriousness of this? We have to meet a tremendous crisis… you have to face this. If you are inclined to be entertained for the rest of your life, then what happens to your brain? It will either wither, slowly decay because the computer is doing everything that thought can do, or you turn and look at the psychological structure of yourself. That psychological structure is consciousness.’ —Krishnamurti in Bombay, 1981
