I have already said, that Krishnamurti's mind is Fragmented into four parts, each having no direct connection or relationship with another, all of which arise in K's mind, independently. It is Due to the Gaps in his Mind, separating, each from the other.
Awareness -> <Gap> Memory of myself -> Me -> <Gap> Memory of Tree -> <Gap> Thinking of the Tree (Not Me).
As I pointed out earlier, the important and crucial thing about this Division is the outcome of the Division, that is insecurity, fear and suffering. An Ordinary man having normal thinking, though he may have a 'sense' of separation only occasionally, when he is in conflict with others, it is only external, not within. Even when one experiences such an external separation, there is no chance of having mind Fragmented, leading to insecurity, fear and suffering, when he 'thinks', as a result of the 'thinking' alone.
The Ordinary human being, who never feels Fragmented or Divided, in his thinking, as K does, therefore having no Gaps in his functioning of the mind, can he have a glimpse at least to K's Mind, by having a rare experience of such a Gap, leading to fear, insecurity and sufferings?
Yes, it is possible to have such a rare experiencing of Gaps, to have fear, doubt, insecurity and sufferings. Let me give some examples of such a possibility. But remember, this experiencing of Gaps in the mind is a continues, perpetual experience of fear, insecurity, sufferings only for Krishnamurti.
In these examples, I am not going to say, what mind functions or attributes constitutes the Gaps in the thinking, that means what are the mind attributes which are missing, making the mind fragmented. The reason for that is, if I were to explain the missing mind attributes. most of the readers would not be able to understand them. To understand them, one should have practiced, Buddhist Bhavana practice, which is known as 'The Development of the Mind', and should have reached to Samadi state. This Buddhist Bhavana practice, is translated as Buddhist Meditation into English, which is wrong and the mediation is only a small part in that Bhavana.
But there may be very intelligent one's, such as people who are capable of learning science, Maths and computer science, engineering, etc, who have the inborn capacity look into the deeper layers of the mind, at least some glimpse, without such Bhavana. But K's explanation of the mind, everyone can understand with a little intelligence, as it constitutes what every one become aware of. That simple explanation of the function of the mind according to K is,
Awareness-> Me -> Memory -> Thinking. (I have not included the Gaps).
There the difference is, while both K and others feel this is how mind acts, only K feels, that his mind is fragmented, because of the Gaps, the Gap's attributes which he was not able to detect, but others feel that their mind are not fragmented, but is Whole, but they even may be unable to detect the mind attributes, which fills the Gaps in their minds to make it whole. Hence, I would take the above mentioned function of the mind to explain the Gaps, since everyone experiences the same and aware of those items of the mind function.
So in my examples, where do I create a Gap, if I am not ready to show the real attributes which creates a Gaps in K's Mind? It is in the Memory, where memory items itself becoming missing, to create a Gap in oneself, and one may or may not detect the Gap in the memory, but it leads to the same situation of Fragmentation, or even if one does not feel fragmented, but still creates, insecurity, doubt, fear and suffering, creating a Division without, to outside world, though one may be unable to detect the inner Division.
I feel that the mind attributes which were missing in Krishnamurti's mind, creating Gaps also included missing Memory items as well. Hence, it is possible to explain everything of K's situation of Insecurity, fear. suffering, Division, Fragmentation, etc. by taking examples of situations, where they happen due to certain Memory items to be missing.
Example A.
One goes on a trip with his friends, or family and enter into a guest house very late, tired, and goes to sleep with others in a large room, immediately, where many of his friends or family also sleep. Early morning he wakes up, to see there are many others are sleeping, covered by the sheet fully, which makes him to not to recognize them, as well as he does not recognize the room and the place, where he is, as these details were not registered in his Memory, the previous night fully, and with the normal expectation of waking up in his usual bedroom, now his is wondering where he is and who are these people sleeping with him.
Since, "these details were not registered in his Memory", there is a gap in the memory, therefore mind function is fragmented, divided, though he may not feel as such, but this situation would lead to fear, insecurity, doubt and suffering, according to the the person's temperament, to a varying degrees. Did you ever experience such a thing in your life, even for a few seconds, before the Gap in the memory get filled, by sudden remembrance?
I will cover more examples in the 'Memory Gaps' in my next post.
