Description: 

8 x 60 minute sessions, 7pm – 8pm 

  • Thursdays commencing 19th October

Presenting an 8-week book study group for 'The First and Last Freedom' by Krishnamurti

"The transformation of the world is brought about by the transformation of oneself"

Jiddu Krishnamurti


In this student-led book club, we will read and study 'The First and Last Freedom' together as a group. 

Krishnamurti is one of the most important spiritual teachers of this century. In The First and Last Freedom he cuts away symbols and false associations in the search for pure truth and perfect freedom.  The book seeks to identify those known aspects that bind us and keep us imprisoned for life. If we can observe our life as is without any judgments or analysis, we see a lot of our past conditioning, feeding our fears, desires, pleasures and pains.

During our sessions, we will discuss the nature of the self – and of belief, investigations into fear and desire, the relationship between thinker and thought, the concept of choiceless awareness and the function of the mind.
 

You may have read the book before, or had it on your bookshelf with the intention to read it one day. This spiritual classic is a must-read and you can enjoy a deeper experience of the work when discussing it with other like-minded seekers.



How does it work?

There will be a 60 min Zoom call held weekly on Thursdays at 7pm

In breakout groups of 3, you will be given prompts (taken from the themes in the chapter of the week) to discuss and practices to do together. The groups will randomise every week.

In these breakout rooms, you will be able to discuss in-depth your own experience of the book and hear how others interpret the material. Over the 8-week period, you will be able to meditate, practice and theorise over the material with many other students.

 

Important note:

You will need a copy of the book. The book is available on Amazon, or if possible please support a good independent bookseller.
