The Light of Pure Knowing
Sunday, September 9, 2018
Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada
This Sunday morning session was attended by nine participants. We listened to a guided meditation on breathing by Rupert Spira from his book and CD entitled The Light of Pure Knowing. The forty minute meditation was an exploration of several dimensions of our breathing, beginning with a more physical aspect, moving on to a contemplation of the false idea of a separate self that is doing the breathing, and ending with an invitation to realize that it is not “we” who are breathing but the universe itself. “Whatever it is that is undertaking the breathing is also undertaking thinking, sensing, feeling, and perceiving. Experience is always one – one seamless tapestry – made only of the knowing of it. Nothing is distant from that; nothing is separate from that; nothing is other than that.”
Following the guided meditation there was an hour left for sharing and discussion. We talked about the meanings and significance of what had been pointed to by Rupert, along with the challenges of embodying it in our lives or “abiding” in the knowing Presence. There were some lively interactions which were noticed to present an opportunity to see ourselves and our reactions in the crucible of relationship.
