just read Roland vernons book "A star in the east; krishnamurti, the invention of a messiah"

to be honest I bought this book impulsively and then whilst meditating it popped back into my head and not wanting to ignore my sub conscious I read on!

I didnt expect a story which outlined the role of krishnamurti as a manipulated "messiah" to herald in a new age which has parrelels of what is possibly being thought of now.

An interesting book outlinining a spiritual being who rejected his own "new messiah" and rebelled knocking aside dogmas and guru worship to teach his own way.

although fallable as a human being, his message resounds stonger in todays world.

My favourite Krishnamurti quote

It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

Well written book - gives a good perspective on the theosophical societys
"shenanigans." Always liked K`s message - the anti-guru guru!
