Krishnamurti Victoria Event
Church of Truth
Friday, April 6, 2018

The subject of this month’s meeting was “Awareness”. Three people were present at the Church of Truth to watch a video from the “Beyond Myth and Tradition” series by Evelyn Blau featuring selections from J. Krishnamurti’s talks and interviews. The episode was entitled “Choiceless Awareness.” In various contexts K spoke of the importance of being aware of our thoughts, feelings, sensations, and motivations without evaluation or judgment, simply observing ‘what is’ rather than attempting to change it. He went into the nature of awareness and what it means to be completely attentive.

After the half-hour video we entered into a verbal and energetic sharing of insights and questions about awareness and what it actually is in our own experience. What is K pointing to, and how is it real and true for us? What are the challenges to being aware in the way described? What is the difference between the word and the thing, or no-thing? We had a delightful and satisfying dialogue, experiencing a sense of something beyond any thought and analysis. Participants read and took home a handout from the Krishnamurti book, Freedom from the Known.
