Victoria Church of Truth Krishnamurti Event
Friday, February 2, 2018

The monthly meeting at the Church of Truth in Victoria was entitled “Learning About Ourselves”. There were five of us in attendance and we began with viewing a half-hour video of J. Krishnamurti responding to a question at Ojai in 1981 about being free of our conditioning. He pointed out, among other things, that we must not resort to the idea of taking time to be free. The discussion that followed went into different aspects of our conditioning and what it means to look at it directly and with full attention. A couple of people were new to the meetings but participated with a depth of understanding and interest that complimented the contributions of the more familiar participants. After almost an hour the group discussion came to a natural silence which felt quite lovely. There was a handout from the Krishnamurti book Freedom from the Known which participants took home with them.
