So much has been said about Jiddu Krishnamurti
<>
So many myths made, legends too<>
He denied and poo-poohed them all<>
He was just a mirror he said, a mirror by which we all were reflected<>
When asked who he was he answered 'Nobody'. <>
He declared we didn't need gurus nor priests. No Popes. No Imans. No Rabbis and specifically no leaders especially not himself. <>
He refuted the notion he was special or the incarnation of Siddartha Guatama. He didn't believe in reicarnation. He didn't believe in belief. <>
This wonderful speech by Jaggi Vasudev (Sadhguru) paints a glorious picture of a man whose influence is still felt to this day.

When I was younger, I couldn't see being without someone who had been appointed a spiritual leader of some kind. At this point, most of my "spiritual leaders" are ordinary people. The concept of Gnosticism postulates that everyone has divine knowledge to share.
Perhaps they do although K said this about knowledge. "Knowledge is not wisdom." :)
Gnosticism and Buddhism and Stoicism are all very alike.
There are plenty of people who know a lot of things but seriously lack wisdom.
