Krishnamurti Study Session
Sunday, October 6, 2019
At KECC

Six people were present for this Sunday morning meeting. Our text for study was the January 25 entry in The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti entitled “Active Self-Knowledge.” K points out that without self-knowledge experience breeds illusion. He then expands on the topic with a few more observations and ends up asserting that “there can never be “your experience” and “my experience”; the very term “my experience” indicates ignorance and the acceptance of illusion.” This last statement struck some of us as somewhat confusing, or at least in need of some inquiry, and the group engaged in an investigation of it from several different angles and possible meanings. There were some interesting insights put forward and some lively discussion while not coming to any quick conclusion. The question of identification with one’s experience and one’s conditioning was looked at, as well as the inquiry into “who” is having the experience. It was a challenging stretching of our inquiry muscles.
