Krishnamurti Study Group Meeting Saturday, May 3, 2014 Eight people met to study another chapter in Freedom From the Known. We began with reading the first half of Chapter 11 on looking and listening, then engaged in a ten minute exercise exploring how we are observing. Is there an observer and an object being […]
E-mail to P. F. Dziuban Sent May 4, 2014 at 8:47 am Good morning Peter… Found myself at Swanwick Centre yesterday in one of the Krishnamurti enquiry sessions. The subject was his famous saying “observe without the observer.” Now it is understood that he is referring to the apparent conditioned mind or thinker. But wouldn’t […]
Krishnamurti Study Session Saturday, April 19, 2014 Nine people gathered to study the second half of chapter 10 in Freedom From the Known. Some of the challenges posed by K in this segment are: what it means to really care about our children or other human beings, seeing not with our minds but from “the […]

A friend sent this K quote yesterday. At one time I seemed to be totally in love with his teaching or non-teaching, which I am sure he would prefer. I think I read almost all of his books and watched many hours of his recorded video talks. But I, like a lot of other so-called […]
A Gathering with Ravi Murmurs hover over steaming mugs of tea in the main house as people gather for the next adventure in truth (a path less land according to Krishnamurti) It’s tough going at times, listening to Krishnamurti’s recordings – a compact yet intensely vehement man from another era, so brisk in […]

From the standpoint of Absolute Being, let’s take closer look at the “observer” and so-called relative world and what science sometimes calls the unified field of energy, because it appears it is a hot topic today. Unified field. Hmmm…if ever there was a complex, nuclear-physics-sounding, excuse-me-while-I-mentally-numb-out-for-the-next-few-paragraphs term, that’s it. If one speaks of this unified […]
Another notion in philosophy and science concerns the nature of the “observer.” Who “observes” or knows Existence exists? The only one to know or define Existence must be Itself. Anything that is not Existence Itself doesn’t exist to know anything! The starting point can be only Existence, Being Itself. And It doesn’t really […]
The description of a flower is not the flower. The photograph of a flower is not the flower. The word or picture is not the ‘thing’. When Krishnamurti uses words to describe or communicate something, these words are not the ‘thing’. When people listen to him or read his books, what they understand is not […]
