Krishnamurti – On Love – Uvic Stillness Within January 23rd Meetup

The first meetup of 2019 was a really enjoyable exploration and book study!   We pondered many reflections and insights as we read through the first part of Krishnamurti’s writings on “Love” in Freedom From the Known.

Highlights from our reading and reflection are captured here:

* We think we know what love is but often what we really know as ‘love’ are simply our beliefs and concepts – or wants and needs such as security, prestige, comfort etc.

*  Love as we often experience it, more often than not, has a subject and object – it’s become imbued with separation / duality

*  When really allowing our perception to go beyond conceptual expression and comprehension, love seems to become the collapse of separation – a glimpse of oneness/unity…

*  At times, it even can seem as if Love is a boundless flow of something immense that peeks through us

*  Or more precisely, it seems when we are very open, that this Love appears as a wonderful exquisite gentleness that sees the world AS us!

We had some wonderful discussion – well beyond what’s capturable here.  The group are keen to see where K will take us next through the inquiry (we didn’t get through the whole chapter on love so will pick it up again when we meet in February).

Thank you to the K Centre of Canada for supporting this Meetup!
