Krishnamurti Study Group

Krishnamurti Study Group Saturday, July 2, 2016 Four people showed up on the Saturday of the holiday weekend to explore the last half of chapter 16 in The First and Last Freedom by J. Krishnamurti. The subject of the chapter was “Can Thinking Solve Our Problems?” K goes into the limited nature of all thought when it comes to resolving psychological problems.  He invites us to see that thought can never solve such problems, but awareness, or simple looking and listening, can. This requires a quiet mind. The participants discussed the nature of this awareness and how a quiet mind can come about, as well as related questions and perceptions. It was a lovely day and it was pleasant to sit out on the lawn, enjoy the views and the sounds of nature while looking into the ideas expressed by K. and sharing our own questions and insights.
