The words - ‘victim’ and ‘predator’ are linguistically related as opposites, meaning that there can’t be a victim without there conversely being a predator and all psychological opposites are derived from conditioning that sets the original traps and we are all caught in the roundabout by making choices etc. So it’s all been programmed into the language that you and I were taught to use and it’s done automatically as reflexes.
Krishnamurti seems to be the sole vehicle for pointing out the fact that everyone is driven by words.

" ..completely freedom from BEcoming something..." Just BE, attentively, simply and self-lessly, moving, presently. That's freedom, the pathless land. Thanks K and friends

Choice-less awareness is another heavily used cliche nowadays and one has to be careful in jumping into that bandwagon, because it seems like krishnaji points to the absence of a 'chooser' which in turn makes the awareness choiceless. So choiceless awareness cannot be a 'practice' because any practice is out of choice and effort. So freedom from the chooser is the freedom from 'becoming' and thus the question dissolves.
