With Hillary Rodrigues 

At Gorge Park Pavilion 

Esquimalt, BC 

 

Five people in total were present for Hillary’s last Victoria meeting. We began with a reading from The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti in which K speaks of the relation between the brain and the conditioned mind. His explanations were found by the group members to be complex and challenging. As a group we explored the fundamental relationship of the human being to the rest of life and the relationship of all life. Other topics explored were the question “Can the conditioned mind examine itself?”, the emptying of the content of consciousness, being with the “facts” and the movements of the self, the possibility of living with an open vulnerability, and total attention without effort. We closed with the appreciation that our “imperfections are opportunities for discovery and “enlightenment”.
