Inquiry Sunday at the Centre

Inquiry Sunday
September 3, 2017

Our morning session was attended by nine people. We watched a one hour video of a panel discussion at last year’s Science and Nonduality Conference in San Francisco which included Scott Kiloby. Scott has been visiting the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada for the past four years to present workshops on his “Living Inquiries,” and will be coming again this November. The topic of discussion was “healing trauma” from a nondual or meditative perspective, and the members of the panel had interesting ideas to share about the universality of trauma and the profound effects it can have on us for many years afterwards. The challenge of working with deeply conditioned aspects of consciousness was acknowledged along with some brief sharing of effective ways of doing so, each panelist have his or her particular way of approaching such work.
Our group found the material very interesting and dove into some further exploration of the concepts presented in the video. The discussion had to be brought to a halt as the lunch hour came upon us.

For the afternoon session participants chose from a selection of video clips featuring questions and answers on various topics by Krishnamurti and other teachers. We looked at an Eckhart Tolle clip on how to get rid of fear and one by Mooji on addiction, both of which seemed relevant to the subject of the morning session. After each clip there was a good deal of in-depth group inquiry in which we explored the nature of fear and addiction and how they related to observing ourselves and being “choicelessly aware”, as Krishnamurti recommends. It was a full day and we enjoyed hosting such a good turnout of friends of the Centre.
