Self Study Meeting

Sunday, March 7, 2021

Zoom online

 

Fifteen participants gathered on a Sunday morning to explore their interest in self-inquiry or self exploration within the context of J. Krishnamurti’s teachings about self-knowledge and the realization of inner freedom. These monthly meetings have been focusing on the excerpts from talks and writings of Krishnamurti as compiled in the text The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti. The selections for study this month were the January 8 – 22 entries, which took up the subject of learning through direct looking and listening, especially looking at and listening to the thoughts and feelings that create the sense of a “self” that is consistent and stable in time. Participants had prepared for the meeting by reading over the selections several times and applying them to the activities of their daily lives. They were appreciative of the opportunity to further reflect on and discuss these ideas in a group of interested people. There was a richness of sharing and questioning which seemed to provoke insights and understanding in the participants.
