			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p align="left"><strong>Today I went to the talk given by Reb Anderson, one of the priests here. ( He published several books ).He is good at talking about high events in the spiritual world. One of them, the definition of a Boddhisattva ( a being that is committed to saving all sentient beings before he gets enlightened himself ) in the Buddhist context. Well, I&#8217;m not sure about if I understand this concept, because I don&#8217;t think anybody has seen such a being in this world. Maybe in another one&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>But I&#8217;m being sarcastic. I felt particularly well during the talk, accompanied by all those black robes around me. Not because of that, but maybe something in the air. the silence was immense. Nobody moves. In this atmosphere it gets easier to explore into ourselves. It could be that you&#8217;re not inside, nor outside of yourself. It&#8217;s a funny thing, when you can observe some point in front of you, and at the same moment, to watch your own reactions. The brain has to split itself, and in the process, it gets more attentive. That&#8217;s the state you want to achieve in order to call yourself a &#8220;meditator&#8221;. We all want to look very deeply attentive, but the mind only wants to chatter, and nothing else. It&#8217;s like a little kid, does not give up his toys. well, maybe this is already a great thing,to be here and now attentive, because it can be that the energy for a greater leap is already here in us. But I don&#8217;t want to see myself following a very long path. I don&#8217;t want to put me in the middle of a process of evolution of the soul. Such a thing would be a mistake, because I don&#8217;t want to get lost in the process of <em>time.</em> Krishnamurti explained that <em>time </em>cannot be a mediator in our achieving a higher state of realization. That way, I can feel that <em>any</em> moment is good to be in <em>here and now</em>. For me, there&#8217;s no such a process in time, along which all the beings will evolve until the final enlightenment. I think that we should approach this problem in a different view &#8211; in a different dimension. The dimension of the highest truth. That truth says that everything is already luminous. And there is not such a division between beings. We are all one. And the Universe is only one principle. The principle of unity.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Naturally, in such a context, we can say that there is no need for struggle. We can only do one action: realizing the truth of <em>only one.</em> And realizing this, there no more confusion. Thus, knowledge &#8211; or wisdom.</strong> <strong>Wisdom can be a matter of substraction, instead of addition of knowledge. Krishnamurti said we have to get rid of all false conceptions and asumptions. And then wisdom will arise naturally.</strong>&lt;p&gt;<br />
