Wiping Fear Away

By Paul Pramod, 1.30 - 3.30 pm, 23 November 2024.

Venue:Melbourne Lodge

Revisiting Jiddu Krishnamurti's book: "On Fear"

"What relationship has time to fear? Most human beings are frightened, have innumerable forms of fear: fear of darkness, fear of dying, fear of living, fear that you might lose what you have, fear of your wife or your husband. There is fear of what you possess, fear of growing old and dying. So human beings throughout the world have tremendous anxiety, which is part of fear: anxiety about not fulfilling, anxiety about not being yourself, anxiety about what other people might do to you, and so on. All that is a form of fear. So what is the relationship between fear and time? And shall we trim the branches of fear, take one branch after another, or shall we deal with the root of fear?"   : Krishnamurti, J. . On Fear 

Join Paul Pramod as we explore how to participate in a dialogue session, which is different from a discussion or talk where the speaker is the authority. We will look at the concept of negative thinking we use in the dialogue, to understand that questions are the answers and if we find the right question to ask, we will get the right answer.

This dialogue session will be the mirror for each of the participants to observe their thoughts and reactions and learn how to observe fear.
