Krishnamurti Study Session
Sunday, December 1, 2019
At KECC

Five people were present for the morning session at the Centre. Continuing with our study of The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti, we opened to the January 30 selection of quotes from K’s talks entitled “Self-Knowledge”. In this short passage he points to the necessity of knowing ourselves, for without such self-understanding we “have no basis for thought” and what we think is “not true”. He goes into the fact that all human beings share the same hopes and aspirations as well as our fundamental problems and egoic characteristics. He suggests that we generally do not experience the “extraordinary unity” of humanity at least partly due to our separation of the intellect and the feeling nature. We explored these ideas in group inquiry and probed deeply into their meaning. The participants were all well experienced in looking at themselves and it seemed the dialogue was of high quality and relevance.
