Krishnamurti Study Group

  Krishnamurti Study Group Saturday, June7, 2014     This week we studied Chapter 12 in Freedom From the Known.   The subject was “The Observer and the Observed”, one of the topics that K speaks of most frequently in his talks and which seems to be very central to his inquiry into the nature of thought and the mind.   The insight that “the observer is the observed” has great significance in the realm of psychological transformation.   After reading some of the chapter there was a ten minute silence during which we looked at how we were observing and what we could understand of this important insight.   This was followed by a group dialogue with the ten participants.  We were able to sit out on the lawn and enjoy the lovely views and natural surroundings on a sunny spring afternoon.   The discussion was very engaging for the group and participation was with keen interest.   Among the topics explored were the meaning of the statement that the observer is the observed and what happens when this is clearly seen.
