Self Study Meeting

Sunday, August 16, 2020

Online Zoom Meeting

Seven people were present for this Sunday morning meeting focused on the subject of fear. Readings from The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti were used as material for inquiry into fear in our own lives and exploration of effective ways of approaching the issue. The suggested readings, March 22 – 31, contain some of Krishnamurti’s core teachings on the crucial question, “Can I be free of fear?” The readings inspired a high quality of sharing among the participants and numerous insights relevant to a practical understanding. We contemplated a quote from Krishnamurti to the effect that meditation is the awakening of fear and the transcendence of fear. We must be in touch with our fear before we can understand it. It was an excellent meeting seemingly much enjoyed by the attendees.
