# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born in 1895 in India, Jiddu Krishnamurti was adopted by the Theosophical Society and raised to fulfill a messianic role. In 1922, he began experiencing violent mystical episodes that permanently altered his perception. Seven years later, he dissolved the Order of the Star in the East built around him and rejected the movement that had shaped his life. He traveled the world speaking about "choiceless awareness" — a state beyond thought and doctrine — while warning audiences not to follow anyone, including himself. Aldous Huxley brought him to a mainstream publisher in the 1950s; The First and Last Freedom and later works like Commentaries on Living carried his paradox to wider audiences. Days before his death in 1986, he said no one had understood what intelligence had moved through him, and none would appear again for centuries.
