"This ennead of aspects is endlessly adaptable for it is made up of nine, the most adjustable and yet essentially unchanging number. However one chooses to add up multiples of nine, for example 54, 72, 108, they always add up to nine"

ninety, a. and n. Draft Revision Jan 2006

     5. ninety-nine Brit. (also 99 ), an ice-cream cone made with soft ice cream with a stick of flaky chocolate inserted into it (as 99 a proprietary name in the United Kingdom); (formerly) an ice-cream wafer sandwich containing a similar stick of chocolate; a wafer cone or chocolate stick for an ice cream (disused).
   [Apparently an arbitrary marketing name. The original ice cream contained Cadbury's '99' Flake (produced specially for the ice-cream trade) but the application to the chocolate may not precede its application to the ice cream. The suggestion that something really special or first class was known as '99' in allusion to an elite guard of ninety-nine soldiers in the service of the King of Italy appears to be without foundation.]

THEY CAME ON A MISSION TO SAVE MANKIND

Page 55"So, the clues all point to a numerical matrix the conclusion of which culminates in 9 9 9 9 9. Taking 9 each of the Maya cycles and also 9 of the 260-day Maya years we arrive at the message of the Temple of Inscriptions: 1,66,560.
The sceptic might argue that 'if we looked hard enough then all of these numbers could have been found somewhere'."

THE FATHER OF NEUROSCIENCE

Page 98

"I must hasten to add that many researchers in the medical profession feel, deep down in their heart, that there is a soul. I remember one of my professors at Johns Hopkins University telling me that "When I say, 'I went for a walk today, 'I. know I am simply describing to you a behavior that my fellow scientists can quantify. But I know that there was more to my walk than just my legs moving. I know that some inner force decided to go for a walk and that that same inner force enjoyed the flowers and birds and the beauty of nature; / Page 99 / thoughts that science will never be able to measure or quantify." That statement came from a rigid behaviorist with whom I spent hundreds of hours quantifying the exact frequencies of sounds that monkeys can hear".
When I reflect on what he said, I remember the works of Wilder Penfield."

"The square of 4 is 16; the square of 5 is 25. The difference between 25 and 16 is 9.

The square root of 9 is 3. So we know that the third side (This occurs on the 33rd line down)

THE CONCEPT OF MIND

Gilbert Ryle 1949

Page 227

"CONSIDER THE REPLIES WE SHOULD EXPECT TO GET TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 'HOW DO YOU KNOW?' 'HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE TWELVE CHAIRS IN THE ROOM?' 'BY COUNTING THEM.' 'HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT 9 x 17 MAKES 153?' 'BY MULTIPLYING THEM AND THEN CHECKING THE ANSWER BY SUBTRACTING 17 FROM 10 x 17.'"

THE IMPOSSIBLE QUESTION

Dialogues

KRISHNAMURTI: I never said that, Sir. When you look at this question really carefully, you will never ask, 'How am I to live in the present?' If you see the nature and the structure of thought very clearly, then you will find that you can function fom a state of mind that is always free from all thought, and yet use thought. That is real meditation, Sir, not all the phoney stuff.
Now the mind is so crowded with the known, which is the product of thought. The mind is filled with past knowledge, past experience, the whole of memory - which is part of the brain - it is filled with the known. I may translate the known in terms of the future or in terms of the present, but it is always from the known. It is this known that divides, 'knowing the pase, 'I don't know', 'I shall know'. This past, with all its reservoir of memory says, 'Do this, don't do that', 'This will give you certainty, that will give you uncertainty'.
So when the whole mind, including the brain, is empty of the known, -then you will use the known when it is necessary, but functioning always from the unknown - from the mind that is free of the Known. Sir, this happens, it's not as difficult
as it sounds. If you have a problem, you think about it for a day or two, you mull it over, and you get tired of it, you don't know what to do, you go to sleep. The next morning, if you are sensitive, you have found the answer. That is, you have tried to answer this problem in terms of what is bene­ficial, what is successful, what will bring you certainty, in terms of the known, which is thought. And after exercising every thought, thought says, Im tired'. And next morning you've found the answer. That is, you have exercised the mind, used thought to its fullest extent, and dropped it. Then you see something totally new.But if you keep.on exercising
thought all the time, form conclusion after conclusion ­which is the known - then obviously you never see anything new.
This demands a tremendous inward awareness, an in­ward sense of order; not disorder, but order.

Questioner: Is there a method of procedure

KRISHNAMURTI: Look, Sir- I get up, walk a few paces and go down the steps. Is that a method of procedure? I just get up and do it naturally, I don't invent a method first and follow it - I see it. You can't reduce everything to a method !

Questioner: Can you empty this storehouse of imprssions which you have had?

KRISHNAMURTI: You've put a wrong question. It is a wrong question because you say 'Can you ever'. Who is the 'you' and what do you mean by 'ever'? Which means: is it possible?
Sirs, look, we never put the impossible question - we are always putting the question of what is possible. If you put an
impossible question, your mind then has to find the answer in terms of the impossible - not of what is possible. All the great scientific discoveries are based on this, the impossible. It was impossible to go to the moon. But if you say, 'It is possible' then you drop it. Because it was impossible, three hundred thousand people cooperated and worked at it, night and day - they put their mind to it and went to the moon. But we never put the impossible question! The impossible question is this: can the mind empty itself of the known? - itself, not you empty the mind. That is an impossible question. If you put it with tremendous earnestness, with seriousness, with passion, you'll find out. But if you say, 'Oh, it is possible', then you are stuck.
