Krishnamurti Study Group

  Krishnamurti Study Group Saturday, October 17, 2015 Four of us gathered to look into Chapter 9 of Krishnamurti’s book The First and Last Freedom.  The title of the chapter is “What is the Self?”  and it contains material which my require a subtle investigation of our consciousness if it is to be understood.  K speaks of the role of experience in strengthening the self, or ego, and points out that the self can establish itself even in the experience of silence.  The self, the centre, projects what it desires and strengthens itself when it achieves its goal.  Is it possible to dissolve this centre completely? The participants felt challenged by some of the ideas expressee in the text, which provided a good basis for an interesting group exploration.  There is a core group of inquirers that seems to be going deeply into the teachings.
