Krishnamurti Study Session
Sunday, January 5, 2020
At KECC

Five people were in attendance for this Sunday morning meeting to study The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti. We began with reading the February 1 entry entitled “Becoming is Strife”, in which K points out that becoming is a constant struggle, pain, and strife. We sat in silence for a few minutes, then each shared what had impacted them in the reading. After the individual sharing we entered into a free dialogue and further explored the ideas expressed in what deepened naturally into a broad and rich inquiry. After some time we moved on to the February 2 “meditation” entitled “All Becoming is Fragmentation.” Here K points to the fact that any movement away from “what is” towards its opposite is merely a projection of thought which is inherently conflictual. When this is seen the mind and the “what is” undergo a transformation or integration. K’s description was experienced to be very clear and direct and the discussion that it inspired was fruitful.
