Victoria Krishnamurti Event

  Victoria Krishnamurti Event Church of Truth, October 9, 2016   On Thanksgiving Sunday only one person joined me for the afternoon event. We read a handout from Freedom from the Known, then watched a video on Awareness from the Evelyn Blau series Beyond Myth and Tradition. Krishnamurti spoke about awareness, concentration, and attention, emphasizing the kind of attention that arises with a deep interest in looking at oneself without evaluation or judgment. That attention has no subject who is attending and no boundary or limitation. Looking with this kind of attention is to enter a state of non-division and moment to moment transformation. After discussing the handout and video material and taking a short tea break, we watched a clip of Rupert Spira answering a question about depression. He suggested the questioner become interested in the awareness which is perceiving the depression. Inquiring into the nature of awareness increases the sense of our unlimited nature and gradually starves the energy of depression – or any other emotional conflict. There was some valuable discussion of the Spira clip. Even though the turnout was minimal, the session was appreciated and felt to be very helpful.
