Inquiry Sunday

Inquiry Sunday Sunday, October 4, 2015 A small group of three gathered on Sunday morning to listen to a CD by Adyashanti on the stages of awakening.  He began by saying that in fact there is no linear path and the process will be different for each individual while still containing certain universal features.  The seventy minute talk was followed by a group dialogue out on the lawn.   It was felt by one participant that Adya was making things more complicated than need be, whereas the other two considered the points made to be interesting and of value, even if not strictly necessary for them to hear.  One person said that listening to the talk was a confirmation that all is well in the way the journey is unfolding for him. In the afternoon three video clips were shown of Krishnamurti speaking on death and dying to the self.  He pointed out the necessity of dropping all attachments if one is to be truly a free human being.  A very interesting discussion followed  with the four participants exploring what was said in the videos.  We also went into the question of love and attachment and whether it is possible to live without attachment in the midst of daily life, family obligations, relationships, and work commitments.  Again, it was agreed that these questions require ongoing looking and listening, which can bring insight and discovery.
