Self-inquiry with Jeff Brown

April 28, 2024

At KECC Metchosin, BC

 

Seven people were present for this Sunday afternoon meeting at the Krishnamurti Educational Centre of Canada, facilitated by Jeff Brown and held at the Metchosin, BC location. After a period of silence, Jeff opened the floor to discussion of whatever was interesting to the participants. Somehow the use of the word “God” and related concepts was brought forward and a quite lengthy exploration followed with focus on the question of what is sacred and what do such words mean to us or to others. Is there a quality of experiencing which has a sense of depth and beauty, love and unity, and which could be called an expression of the heart when the thinking mind is in abeyance or in the background? Krishnamurti seemed to be open to such depths of awareness and to be pointing us towards such fullness and completeness of Being.

We asked what can give access to such realms of beauty and does the contact with the “heart” then enable one to live in a way that is attuned to the intelligence of the “heart”. To live in a more or less constant state of learning was mentioned by a few of us as a desirable state to realize or embody while at the same time not losing the humility and innocence of “not-knowing”.

Participants were invited to share a meal at the MyChosen Cafe, which proved to be an enjoyable experience of friendship and a lovely way to complete our afternoon.
