Victoria Event
Victoria Event Sunday, January 10, 2016 The monthly meeting at the Church of Truth was attended by nine people. We began with a short video of Krishnamurti speaking on love from the Evelyn Blau series Beyond Myth and Tradition. He asked a number of questions about love, inquiring if love is pleasure or desire, and what the difference is between pleasure and enjoyment. The group read a handout from Freedom from the Known and had a discussion about the contents of what had been heard and read. We spent some time exploring the power of attentive listening and being fully present as a doorway into a state of non-duality and love. After a tea break we watched ten minute video clips of Eckhart Tolle and Scott Kiloby speaking on relationship and the fallacy of expecting another to make us happy. Eckhart was humorous as well as profound and Scott brought up some very interesting points about loving all of our experience rather than just the positive feelings. Again, the participants engaged in some lively communication and the feeling generated in the room was one of peace and unity.
