Exploring Awareness
Sunday, October 6, 2019
At KECC

Only three of us were in attendance for this Sunday afternoon session exploring the nature of attention and awareness through guided meditations. We started by listening to a meditation by Rupert Spira focusing on beginning as awareness and remaining as that fundamental truth of our existence, the “knowing” by which all experience is known. Rupert is very skilled in leading such inquiries into our true nature.
David then led a guided meditation based on two central themes of J. Krishnamurti’s teachings: being with our experience without naming it and becoming aware of the split between the “observer” and “the observed.” Bringing attention to these two issues created a sense of stillness, silence, and wholeness which could then be “carried” with us into our lives in the world, so to speak. The meditative approach for the afternoon was appreciated by each of us.
