The big leap

In the nascent stages of my encounter with J. Krishnamurti, a very serious question arose: To embrace the promised illumination, I would have to give up on everything or most of what, I’ve grown up to know and enjoy. How could I discern that the promise in fact is genuine? Such a leap of faith would mean swimming against the currents.

What truly kept me in was the consistency in what was being said by these figures from very different historical and current timelines, which was simply astounding and extremely fascinating, in and of itself. Despite using different words, they all seemed to be pointing towards the same fundamental truth. The fact that many of these figures were unaware of the others’ existence and teachings was enough confirmation for me to dive in and dive deep.
