Concluded from Part 1
In a quote I personally think is important, Krishnamurti discourages manually slowing down the mind to find our true selves.
“Self-knowledge comes with the slowing
down of the mind, but that doesn’t mean forcing the mind to be slow.
Compulsion only makes for resistance, and there must be no dissipation
of energy in the slowing down of the mind.” (1)
When it comes to writing and channeling, I notice that manually
attempting to slow my mind or the thoughts that accompany it always
leads to resistance. We create resistance when we strive to do anything,
including silencing or slowing down our minds, and the best thing we
can do is to simply flow with whatever state of mind we’re in.
