Beyond Myth and Tradition is a twelve-part series made by the Krishnamurti Foundation of America in 1997. Each programme focuses on a particular aspect of life and presents relevant excerpts from Krishnamurti's Talks and Discussions filmed at different times around the world. Produced and Directed by Evelyn Blau and Michael Mendizza (The Challenge of Change), this series offers a very good introduction to Krishnamurti's teachings, whilst also conveying their scope, depth and relevancy in today's world.

Conflict is between the actual and the myth. To understand that which you are, the myth, the ideal, the self projected future state, must entirely cease.

The action of conflict has its own energy, which is divisive… But the energy of perception and acting is entirely different. And that energy is the energy of creation.
