Krishnamurti
About 15 years ago on my spiritual journey, I came upon a group called the Liberal Catholic Church (LCC). The internet was in full flow and many organisations were engaging with it for the first time. Prior to this, it would have been more difficult to access such groups.
The LCC led me on to Theosophy and it led me to Krishnamurti
In that time I visited LCC churches in Putney, Letchworth and Camberley. I visited the Theosophical Society London Headquarters and a Theosophical Lodge in Letchworth.
About eleven years ago I attempted to book a stay at Brockwood Park the Krishnamurti Study Centre. It didn't happen but I am on my way there now.
The spiritual aspect of life has fascinated me since I can remember. Of course, all life is spiritual but I am thinking of our spiritual stories that inform how we live. Perhaps better illustrated by a question, “We get on with life but what informs how we live?”
That question has been the quest of my life and I have been Ion! The quest takes me to such groups almost like a spiritual anthropologist to observe and attempt to understand how their belief informs their lives.
Krishnamurti stands out as he was taken from obscurity as any child and tutored to be what was believed to be the new world leader. He dissolved the organisation that was set up to support him believing that everyone was capable of walking truth. He did however remain a teacher and in time another organisation grew up around him who are the guardians of his teachings.
The attraction of the Krishnamurti story is if anyone of us was believed in as a child we could become the fullness of who we are. He may have dissolved the organisation that he was made leader but along the way, the belief that was projected into him by others probably led to him finding his own way and uttering his truth.
So I go to spend two to three days looking at his works and the people led to uphold his work.
