Four people gathered on the front lawn to explore the text The First and Last Freedom, Q & A # 12, on the topic “Boredom and Interest.” K point out in this section that we are always escaping from uncomfortable feelings and asks what happens if we can just be with an experience like boredom without resisting the feeling or trying to change it. It may then have a much deeper significance. In his treatment of the issue he offers a way to be with all experience that invites learning about ourselves and the workings of our consciousness. Readings of the text were interspersed with discussion and inquiry into the truth or falseness of what K points to in our own experience. It was interesting to learn about ourselves in relation to the topic and was definitely an engaging dialogue rather than a boring one!
