Krishnamurti Study Session
April 21, 2019
At KECC

The entry for January 10 in J. Krishnamurti’s book entitled The Book of Life was the material for exploration in this Sunday morning session at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada. The title of the entry was “Learning Is Not Experience.” Six people were in attendance. The session began with a reading of the text, followed by five minutes of silence. Then we went around the circle of participants and each of those who wished had the opportunity to share a perception, insight, question, or other comment. We then opened the sharing up for spontaneous dialogue starting with a more in-depth investigation of the comments. We wondered if, as K suggests, there is actually nothing to learn psychologically in terms of accumulating knowledge. Is what is needed rather a stripping away of beliefs and concepts which creates a space for something of the Unknown to enter? The discussion was quite animated and engaging. There was a sense as we came to the end of the meeting that it might be helpful to move a little more slowly in our conversation. Nevertheless, the session seemed to be enjoyed by all.
