to begin this blog today I would like to use a quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti, which says this
quote,"I maintain that truth is a pathless land and you cannot approach it by any path
whatsoever,by any religion, by any sect" unquote, this quote came from the writings of
Krishnamurti called "The Desolation of the Pathless Path". The pathless path lies within us
all,and we create it moment by moment as we live our lives, we each create our own pathless
path, and therefore tread it daily. If we look for the path we are already lost! It cannot be found
by the intellect or the mind, it can only become "experienced moment by moment" as we
manifest our daily motions through our localised engagements in the place where we are
found.
We could ask ourselves the question, why do we need experiences? What is the purpose of
experiences? What is truth? Does anybody know? If we ask questions like these, we are setting
in motion the possibility of an answer?
True knowing does not occur within the mind, if we are thinking in order to uncover the root
of thought, one could say we are already in the wrong room! Mind is thought and for thoughts
to have a landing place, an identity must be in play to run its conditioned program. Thoughts
are simply the movement of memory and knowledge. These shadow byproducts of the identity/
mind, give birth to and enforce the perpetration of ego,mind,identity or the transitory self.
We are all on a quest, its just that the majority of us are all unaware of this motion.Our daily
experiences gradually reveal to us, through both pain and joy, through arising crisis, sadness
and loss,each experience that impacts upon us emotionally, stirs up energy that arises from
deep within us, these emotional experiences gradually open a door within us, and when the
impacts imprint enough force upon us, we will instinctively search within ourselves for answers.
The pathless path has nothing to do with some well known guru or saint that lives in a cave in
the Himalayas although they are treading the pathless path them selves, but each one of us
knowingly or unknowingly is also treading our own pathless path every day of our lives,our
quest as is spelt out in this blog, is to find the truth that lies within us all, and doing that requires
a shift in our gaze from outwards to inwards.
In part two will explore this further. Warmest regards Michael.
