The friendly relationship between David Bohm and J. Krishnamurti spanned
almost a quarter of a century, during which they frequently had dialogues about
the sources of individual and collective conflict, and the possibilities of freedom
from self-centred and confusing activity through a certain quality of insight.
Their discussions sometimes included other teachers and scientists, psychiatrists
and scholars.
For some years David Bohm was a Trustee of the Krishnamurti Foundation
and of Brockwood Park, the international school in Hampshire founded by
Krishnamurti. From Brockwood’s beginnings in 1969 almost until he died in
1992, David Bohm, at Krishnamurti’s request, was vitally involved in the work
of the school.
Some of the deep and sustained dialogues between Krishnamurti and David
Bohm have been made available in publications and recordings. Those which
comprise this collection, The Limits of Thought, shed further light on their
challenging explorations of the nature of consciousness and the condition of
humanity.
