Self-inquiry 

Sunday, November 3, 2024 

With Ralph Tiller and David Bruneau 

At Metchosin, BC 

 

A small group of three was present for this meeting sponsored by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada and held in the Gatehouse at 538 Swanwick Road. Participants were asked if they had any pressing questions or issues they would like to explore in the group. One person (Jeff) expressed interest in the history of the Krishnamurti school that was the beginning of the activities at the Metchosin location of the Centre. Ralph and David were able to share a good deal of the background, including such historical details as Krishnamurti’s personal visit in 1978 to the grounds and including the development of the school which then became an adult Centre based on K’s teachings. We then looked at a movie about the Brockwood Park K school in England and the Ojai school in California and discussed some of the developments of the organizations around Krishnamurti. A newspaper clip was found from some time ago which quoted from the book Freedom from the Known; it provided material for some study of K’s thoughts on relationship and the desire for safety and security. The quote Included the necessity of seeing ourselves and others without an image.  

It was an interesting and valuable afternoon of discussion.
