J Krishnamurti daily quote on ‘You and nothingness are one’

25th Jan 2019
Dear Kalyanamittas,
Below is a very beautiful and profound daily quote by J Krishnamurti on ‘You and nothingness are one’ for sharing by all.
‘You and nothingness are one’

You are nothing. You may have your name and   title,  your property and bank account, you may have power  and be famous; but in spite of all these safeguards, you are as nothing. You may be totally unaware of this  emptiness, this nothingness, or you may simply not want to be aware of it; but it is there, do what you will to avoid it. You may try to escape from it in   devious ways,  through personal or collective violence, through individual or collective worship,  through   knowledge or amusement; but whether you are asleep or awake, it is always there. You can come upon your relationship to this nothingness and its fear only by being choicelessly aware of the escapes. You are not related to it as a separate, individual entity; you are  not   the observer watching it; without you, the thinker, the observer, it is not. You and nothingness are one; you  and nothingness are a joint phenomenon, not two separate processes. If you, the thinker, are afraid of it and approach it as something contrary and   opposed   to you, then any action you may take towards it must inevitably lead to illusion and so to further conflict and   misery. When there is the discovery, the experiencing  of that nothingness as you, then fear—which exists only when the thinker is separate from his thoughts and so tries to establish a relationship with them—completely drops away.

Bye! and with metta always,

Bro Teoh’s 8th Jan 2019 Tuesday class

Dearest Kalyanamittas,
Below are the audio and short notes links to our 8th Jan 2019 recording for sharing by all.
Enclosed is the 8th Jan 2019 Tuesday class outline short notes for sharing by all.

Brother Teoh’s 08 January 2019 Tuesday Class outline Short Notes

Reference Book: The Buddha and His Teachings by Ven. Narada (Chapter 24 – Reasons to Believe in Rebirth, Page 412)

  1. Brother Teoh shares a few stories about encounters with mediums (people getting into trance with body possessed by non-humans). 
  2. Multiple questions regarding the formless state of non-humans were clarified and discussed.
  3. Sister PG shares her experience of sensing non-humans (feeling sudden chill).
  4. Bro Teoh shares that there is no need to fear non-humans as they do not have a physical body to harm you. Non-humans usually only have negative energy field, which may be used by them to amplify your fears. They can sense your fear. With mindfulness and no movement of thought, there will be no fear in you. Virtue, precepts and loving kindness (metta) protects.
  5. Sis Stephanie shares an occasion about difficulty sleeping in an accommodation that used to be a church.
  6. Sis PG asks regarding eerie places of redevelopment, e.g. the redevelopment of Pudu Jail.
  7. Communication with non-humans and remnant of consciousness that came out of the body after death is possible, as they exist even if you don’t see them. They can see and hear you very clearly and they have emotions too. Because of their delusion, sometimes they do get angry. Be sensitive and considerate in seeking their kind understanding and cooperation.
  • E.g. you can talk to them explaining: “In our society, after we have bought the place, we own the building, and we have the right to do renovation, etc. I understand you were here before me and that this has been your dwelling. Please understand that we don’t mean any harm. I seek your forgiveness if I have offended you. You are welcome to stay and I hope you can help protect and keep this place safe.”
    • Bro Teoh shared a few more examples from his life’s experience with the class.(Above outline short notes draft was prepared by Sis Soo Yee)

Bye! and with metta always,
