In The Book of Life, Daily Meditations by Jiddu Krishnamurti (JK), the meditations are dedicated to listening inwardly. Every Wednesday throughout 2024, we will listen in a felt-sense way to the implicit. We will consider many meditations on a wide range of topics from listening, action, attachment, passion, words, violence, sorrow, truth, mind, time, to love and aloneness.
It is suggested to bring a journal or notebook to write or sketch something that may arise from your felt sense. No pre-purchase of any material is necessary, however if you insist The Book of Life can be purchased from sites like World of Books, Discover Books or JK's foundation KFA.org Handouts will be made available. There will be time for reflections and focusing partnership interactions - any level of Focusing proficiency is welcome.
Here's excerpt on the phenomenology of experience and the truth from the Introduction of The Book of Life, in Krishnamurti's words:
“The story of mankind is in you, the vast experience, the deep-rooted fears, anxieties, sorrow, pleasure and all the beliefs that man has accumulated throughout the millennia. You are that book.”
"Truth cannot be accumulated. What is accumulated is always being destroyed; it withers away. Truth can never wither because it can only be found from moment to moment in every thought, in every relationship, in every word, in every gesture, in a smile, in tears. And if you and I can find that and live it—the very living is the finding of it—then we shall not become propagandists; we shall be creative human beings—not perfect human beings, but creative human beings, which is vastly different."
Is it possible to pause and find the truth within?
