I didn't get it from a book, TzungKuen. I heard it from him when I was on retreat at the Hse Main Gon Forest Centre of Panditarama, Myanmar two vassas ago.

Also, I happen to find the term in a new book by Sayadaw U Silananda's "The Four Foundations of Mindfulness: an exposition of the summary". He says:

... The object at the present moment can be anyone of this four. Sometimes the body, sometimes feelings, sometimes consciousness, and sometimes dhamma objects. You have to take these objects as the come; you have no choice. That is why sometimes Vipassanaa meditation is called "choice-less awareness"

He doesn't relate it to sampajañña though.

Both Sayadaw's are not only known as meditation masters but also scholars, brought up by traditional Buddhist teachings. I don't suppose they got the idea from Krishnamurti, though they may have borrowed the term.
