When I read some of Jiddu Krishnamurthi's work, I got some of these thoughts and questions. Are we all human beings living in past ? Are we spending our most of the time and energy in trying to justify our own actions. Have you noticed....we often try to impose ourself what should be on what it is. For example, if we start doing something, we have a predetermined idea on that action about what that action should be. In this circumstance, are we trying to do any new action or sticking with our old idea and naming it as new action?
Our mind is conditioned with the past experiences, the way how we were brought up, leading to the assumptions of duality (such as what is right or wrong, what is good or bad...). Due to this conditioned nature of our mind, we afraid to think something new...something against our assumptions...something that we do not know. It seems that we live our present, and think about future based on our past. JK suggests that one must observe the present with the blank mind...with no assumptions...irrespective to the conditioned thoughts. When he start observing the present, he sees new things...new discoveries can then be found...with new ideas...thus our mind nourishes with fresh ideas....so try to be open yourself and let your mind observe yourself.
