Freedom from the Past is a book by Jiddu Krishnamurti that explores the importance of freeing oneself from the limitations of the past in order to live fully in the present. Krishnamurti helps us to unveil many of the questions that open up before us related to this search and that have to do with everything from the struggle for existence to learning about ourselves, the role of violence, relationships, poverty, ideals, hypocrisy, freedom, love, silence, consciousness, experience or total revolution, among others, which will not leave any reader indifferent and will be of special interest to those who feel the need to free themselves from the past in order to face life with a fresh and renewed mind. This book is a synthesis of Krishnamurti's teachings on the human condition and the eternal problems of life, compiled from more than a hundred meetings with audiences of all ages and nationalities in Europe and India.
Jiddu Krishnamurti was an Indian spiritual figure, speaker, and writer. Adopted by members of the Theosophical Society as a child, Krishnamurti was raised to fill the mantle of the prophesied World Teacher, a role tasked with aiding humankind's spiritual evolution. In 1922, he began to suffer from painful, seizure-like mystical episodes that would produce a lasting change in his perception of reality. In 1929, he broke from the Theosophy movement and disbanded the Order of the Star in the East which had been formed around him. He spent the rest of his life speaking to groups and individuals around the world, hoping to contribute a radical transformation of mankind.
