THE ONLY REVOLUTION
Meditations on Interior Change

A monthly series with Cynthia Overweg
Second Saturdays of the month, March – June, 11 am – 12:30 pm PT

 

“Freedom demands that you break the prison walls. If you live with the unknown,
you are living in freedom, acting from freedom, and that is love.”

Krishnamurti

 

When Krishnamurti spoke of revolution he called it “the deep abiding living change” that ends the tyranny of the conditioned mind. This is the only revolution that fundamentally changes a human being, and thus, the world. It is a radical transformation of the psyche that frees us from the story of “me” and the divisions that cause violence and damage the natural world.

Is it possible to bring about this inner revolution without creating an authority that tells us what to do and how to do it? Can we learn to be our own teacher? What does it mean to be “a light to oneself?” These are key questions we’ll explore together in this monthly series. Our aim is to create a supportive and authentic exchange with each other about what prevents us from living in freedom and acting from love. This exploration is at the heart of inner transformation.

Each 90 minute session will include a presentation with intervals of quietude, body relaxation and sacred music. The content of this series is based on Krishnamurti’s book, The Only Revolution: Meditations on Interior Change. What is central to this exploration is our mutual inquiry into the possibility of coming upon the sacred mystery that words can only point to.

 

Monthly Themes:

March 12: “Meditation has no beginning and therefore no end.” So what is meditation?

April 9: The Boundary of Time. Is inner transformation limited by time?

May 14: Loneliness and Fear. What role do loneliness and fear play in our lives?

June 11: Making Peace with your Mind. Can we quiet the mind without effort?
