Investigating Truth with JC Tefft, January 19, 2025

Part of a six-day series led by JC Tefft entitled “Investigating Truth.”
Sponsored by the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada
Day Two: January 19, 2025
12 Attendees Present

Using Krishnamurti’s teachings as a guide, we asked and investigated the question: “What is True Meditation?”

“Meditation has nothing to do with achieving a result. Nor is it a matter of breathing in a particular way, or looking at your nose, or awakening the power to perform certain tricks…. Meditation is not something apart from life. When you are driving a car or sitting [in a waiting room], or visiting with others who are chatting aimlessly, or walking by yourself in the woods, or watching a butterfly carried off by the wind – to be ‘Choicelessly’ aware of all that is part of meditation.”

“True mediation is a movement without any motive – without words and the activity of thought [getting in the way]. It must not be deliberately set about. Only then is meditation a movement of the measureless Infinite – without a goal.”
~ J. Krishnamurti ~

Referencing Krishnamurti’s teachings throughout, JC shared testimony and insight into the nature of the presence of true meditation in daily life. Attendees were encouraged to inquire and share insights of their own as well, as we looked within ourselves to discover the Truth of true meditation in the eternally present Now.

Primary references for Krishnamurti quotations came from ‘The Book of Life,’ ‘Krishnamurti’s Journal,’ and ‘Krishnamurti to Himself: His Last Journal’
