Online Meeting

Continuing with our online format during the Coronavirus pandemic we met at 11 am via Zoom. Seven people were present for the meeting. Our springboard for self-inquiry and dialogue was the February 13 entry in The Book of Life: Daily Meditations with Krishnamurti entitled “Meeting Life Anew”. After outlining how beliefs separate people and cause great conflict and confusion, Krishnamurti asks if we can be entirely free from all beliefs, so that one meets life anew each minute. This capacity of meeting everything anew is the truth, he states. Then there is no barrier of conditioning between oneself and that which is.
After a silent period with some guided meditation, participants shared their impressions of the reading and explored their challenges and insights with regard to the material. A number of problems were presented which group members responded to in interesting and creative ways. The exploration went on for the full two hours scheduled and was a rich and engaging dialogue.
