Investigating Truth with JC Tefft, February 2, 2025

Part of a six-day series led by JC Tefft entitled “Investigating Truth.”
Sponsored by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada
Day Three: February 2, 2025
8 Attendees Present

Using Krishnamurti’s teachings as a guide, we asked and investigated the question: “Is There a Process We All Go Through?”

“Self-knowledge is a PROCESS – not an end in itself. And to truly know oneself, one must be AWARE of oneself in action – in relationship. You discover the truth of yourself, not in isolation – not in withdrawal, but in relationship – to society, to your husband or wife, to your brother, to your fellow man. It is to discover how you react in every situation; what is your response? … And this requires an extraordinary alertness of mind and keenness of perception [in every situation].”

“We only learn about ourselves when there is no attachment to the past as knowledge – when [that which is perceived is not translated] in terms of the known…. I only learn about myself moment to moment…. Learning is never accumulative. It is a [constant] movement of ‘knowing’ that has no beginning and no end.”

“You must become AWARE of the PROCESS of attachment to – and dependence on [the content of Mind]. [And you must] then … PERCEIVE the significance of the conflict of opposites [that is projected of mind]. [And – as you become more] deeply AWARE [of this ongoing PROCESS occurring within you, you might then come to understand] … the full meaning … of dependency on [and attachment to – the content of mind].”
~ J. Krishnamurti ~

Referencing Krishnamurti’s teachings throughout, JC shared testimony and insight into the nature of the process that we all go through as the Truth of ‘What Is’ is unveiled from within. Attendees were encouraged to share insights of their own as well.

Primary references for Krishnamurti quotations came from ‘The Book of Life’ and ‘Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal’
