In my email in-tray this morning: wise words from Krishnamurti, which chime with what I'm currently writing about...
“To us, the known is very important. That is the only thing we have. The known being my memories, my knowledge, my experiences, my tradition, my house. And of anything unknown I am afraid. Any new government, any new way of thinking, any new way of feeling, I don’t like and I push away. Within the known, I can never understand something new. Reality is always new. Reality is always the unknown. Can the mind be free from the known as memory, as experience, so as to look at a tree, a flower or a person as though you are seeing for the first time?”
