Krihnamurti Study Group

  Krishnamurti Study Group Saturday, June 4, 2016   Five people attended the session today in which we studied chapter 15 of The First and Last Freedom. The chapter is titled “The thinker and the Thought”. It explores the fallacy of believing that there is a thinker, an entity or person, separate from the thinking process which can act to change or affect our psychological thinking. In fact, the thinker is a product of thought and cannot stop it, get rid of it, or change its conditioned functioning in any significant way. When this is seen there is a different relationship with thinking which does not suffer from the effects of dualistic perception. A sense of wholeness can be known. The struggle to change ourselves, to become  more or less, comes to an end. The ideas presented in the text were excellent material for group inquiry and discussion. It was a good session dealing with some of the core insights presented by Krishnamurti. Next meeting we will look into chapter 16.
