Self-inquiry 

With Cynthia Overweg 

October 6, 2024 

At KECC Metchosin 

 

Eight people attended our October 6 Sunday meeting sponsored by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada and held at the Metchosin, BC, location. Cynthia Overweg was the facilitator. Subjects we explored in the meeting included the fact that nothing is permanent and the existence of the “old” brain vs. the “new brain. Interestingly, the awareness of the old brain is the new brain. In our exploration we touched upon such subjects as the tendency to overthink and the attempt to stop over-thinking. Thought wants to get involved in the transformation, but seeing is the key more than purposeful action. And being in touch with the body is very helpful, for it brings a different quality of attention which could be called “blossoming”. We are the teacher and the student. 

We explored the willingness to surrender to the unknown and to put the mind in the heart, thus creating compassion for ourselves. We need patience in order to unravel our “selves” and “flower”. Making an authority of Krishnamurti is not helpful but trusting the body more than the mind may be of value.
