There is no end to education. It is not that you read a book, pass an examination and finish with education. The whole of life, from the moment you are born till the moment you die is a process of learning. Learning has no end and that is the timeless quality of learning. And you cannot learn if you are in battle, if you are in conflict with yourself, with your neighbour, with society. You are always in conflict with society, with your neighbour as long as there is an image. But if you are learning about the mechanics of putting together that image, then you will see that you can look at the sky, then you can look at the river and the raindrops on the leaf, feel the cool air of a morning and the fresh breeze among the leaves. Then life has an extraordinary meaning. Life in itself, not the significance given by the image to life – life itself has an extraordinary meaning.
— Jiddu Krishnamurti, Krishnamurti on Education (1974)
This Sunday we will continue our religious education program with session eight of Building Your Own Theology, in which we will explore meaning in life. The course description and schedule are here:
We will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, after which Robert will guide us through the course of study and discussions.
Please note that you are welcome to participate whether or not you have been keeping up to date on the sessions. We are using the course plan as a guide for discussion, not as a formula to arrive at any specific educational goal — we are, after all, working on *our own theologies*, not learning anyone’s official doctrine. All are welcome to participate. If possible please continue to journal your thoughts, read and think about the text for session eight (which is available here), and continue work on your Spiritual Autobiography (the guidelines are available here)
