Whether you’re working on designing better experiences or you’re an organizational change agent trying to transform your organization, listening is one of the most important skills in your toolkit. To understand what people truly need you need to be a great listener. To build trust and diffuse negative energy you need to be a great listener. To transcend the assumptions and worldviews that constrain your thinking you need to be a great listener. But listening is really hard. Most of us are poor listeners because we’ve never been taught how to listen. To become a powerful listener, treat listening as an active skill to work at.

1. What happens when an Adversity strikes?
2. Do we really have the power to overcome this?
3. What do we do to control this?
4. Can a solution to an outcome be applied to all?
These were some of the basic questions which struck me while I was penning down my thoughts on writing this book.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
2. While understanding K’s teaching or trying to
live them our mind has encountered number
of questions. We have found answers to some
of those questions and some are
still unresolved and lingering with us.
So lets explore those solved or
lingering questions which at some point even
K has addressed it in his own language.
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
3. Is regular group discussion better to think over K’s
teachings or thinking over alone is good?
Q1:
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
Let’s discuss .
. .
4. Krishnamurti has addressed this question in a
very interesting manner.
Let’s explore what he said . . . . .
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
5. Question: I find a regular group that meets to discuss your teachings tends
to become confusing and boring. Is it better to think over these things
alone, or with others?
Krishnamurti: What is important? To find out, is it not?, to discover
for yourself the things about yourself. If that is your urgent,
immediate instinctive necessity, then you can do it with one or with
many, by yourself or with two or three.
But when that is lacking, then groups become boring things.
Then people who come to the groups are dominated by one or two
in the group, who know everything, who are in immediate contact
with the person who has already said these things.
So, the one becomes the authority, and gradually exploits
the many. We know this too familiar game. But people submit to it,
because they like being together. They like to talk, to have the latest
gossip or the latest news. And so, the thing soon deteriorates. You
start with a serious intention, and it becomes something ugly.
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
6. But if we are really, insistently needing to discover for
ourselves what is true, then all relationship becomes important; but
such people are rare. Because, we are not really serious; and so we
eventually make of groups and organizations something to be
avoided.
So it surely depends, does it not?, on whether you are really
earnest to discover these things for yourself. And this discovery can
come at any moment, - not only in a group, or only when you are by
yourself, but at any moment when you are aware, sensitive to the
intimations of your own being. To watch yourself, - the way you talk
at table, the way you talk to your neighbour, your servant, your
boss, - surely all these, if one is aware, indicate the state of your
own being. And it is that discovery which is important. Because it is
that discovery which liberates.

7. “Will you answer a question from me? Sir, I have read your works
and now want to ask you this: what has been your experience
with people coming together to exchange their understanding and
to read your works. Do you approve of this? What has been your
experience of this?”
When K was asked this question by a questioner at a
New Delhi gathering he said ……
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
8. Krishnamurti: Do you approve of group formation, round what we
have talked about, and do you think it is worthwhile? Is that the
question Sir?
Do whatever you want to do! If you want to form a group,
form it. If you don't, don't form it. If you want to understand
yourself through a group, form a group. And if you say, "Well that
will not help me to understand myself, to live a different kind of
life", then don't join a group. You are responsible for yourself and
for nobody else. It is your life. You stand completely alone, never
asking, never begging, never seeking truth, because truth does not
come to the seeker. You cannot invite it. It is like the wind, or the
breezes that come if you leave the windows open - you cannot
invite the breeze - and if you are lucky it might come and I hope you
are lucky.

telling it to others.

10. K being K has being very direct in answering this
question of our telling others about his teachings
so that it can be easier for us to comprehend
what he is saying.
Let’s explore what he said . . . . .
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
11. Question: Can I understand easier what you are saying by telling it to
others?
Krishnamurti: You may learn, by telling it to others, a new way of putting
things, a clever way of transmitting what you want to say; but, surely, that
is not understanding. If you don't understand yourself, how in the name of
names can you tell it to somebody else? Surely, that is merely
propaganda, isn't it?
You don't understand something, but you tell others about it; and
you think a truth can be repeated. Do you think, if you have an
experience, you can tell it to others? You may be able to communicate
verbally; but can you tell others of your experience - that is, can you
convey the experiencing of a thing? You may describe the experience, but
you cannot convey the state of experiencing.
So, a truth that is repeated, ceases to be a truth. It is only the lie
that can be repeated; but the moment you `repeat' a truth, it loses its
meaning. And most of us are concerned with repeating, but are not
experiencing.

12. A man who is experiencing something is not concerned with
mere repetition, with trying to convert others, with propaganda. But
unfortunately, most of us are concerned with propaganda; because,
through propaganda, we try not only to convince others, but also gain a
living by exploiting others; it gradually becomes a racket.
So, if you are not caught up in mere verbalization, but are really
occupied with experiencing, then you and I are in communion. But, if
you want to do propaganda - and I say truth cannot be propagandized -
then there is no relationship between us.
And I am afraid that is our difficulty at the present time. You
want to tell others, without experiencing; and in telling, you hope to
experience. That is mere sensation, mere gratification; it has no
significance. It has no validity, no reality behind it. But, a reality
experienced, if communicated, creates no bondage. So, experiencing is
much more important, has greater significance, than communication on
the verbal level.

13. After reading Krishnamurti teachings for
long time now how can I best help
humanity to further understand and live
his teachings.
Q3:
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
Let’s discuss .
. .
14. Krishnamurti has solved this desire of helping the
humanity in a very simple way which some may
find difficult. So,
Let’s explore what he said . . . . .
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
15. Question: How can we best help humanity to understand and live your
teachings?
Krishnamurti:
It is very simple: by living them yourself.
What is it that I am teaching? I am not giving you a new
system, or a new set of beliefs; but I say, look to the cause that has
created this exploitation, lack of love, fear, continual wars, hatred,
class distinctions, division of man against man.
The cause is, fundamentally the desire on the part of each
one to protect himself through acquisitiveness, through power. We
all desire to help the world, but we never begin with ourselves. We
want to reform the world, but the fundamental change must first
take place within ourselves.
So, begin to free the mind and heart from this sense of
possessiveness. This demands, not mere renunciation, but
discernment, intelligence.

16. In an interview Krishnamurti has said
something very interesting related to this
previous topic of helping another.
Let’s explore what he has said . . . . .
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
17. Prasad: One can help another person to be aware only if that person is a
little aware already. Otherwise, one can only hope that in due course the
other will come to it of his own accord. Please comment.
JK: Why do you think you are starting out to help me? And at what
level do you want to help me? First of all, are you aware? If you are
not aware, do not talk about awareness. If there is no awareness in
you and you start talking about awareness to me, that is plane
hypocrisy. If you are aware, will I not be able to see it in you? Will I
not see how you behave towards your wife, children, servants,
friends, and all the others? If you live with awareness, will I not be
able to notice it? Any change that has to take place will then take
place in me. You need not do anything. Your manner, your attitude,
your conduct, your talk will all reveal to me everything that I have to
know. It will of course, depend upon how will I grasp it.

18. When I am listening and watching
Krishnamurti audio/videos or reading his
teachings, I feel very alive, energetic and
sensitive; but when I go away by myself, or
am in my house or at work place, this
sensitivity ceases.
What to do?
Q4:

Let’s discuss .

19. When asked by a questioner Krishnamurti has
addressed this previous dilemma and has cited as
to where the problem is lying and what can be
done to overcome it.
Let’s explore what he said . . . . .
KFI Cuttack Centre / Sunday Dialogue
20. Questioner: When I am listening to what is being said here, I feel very
alive and sensitive; but when I go away by myself, or am in my house,
this sensitivity ceases.
Krishnamurti: If you are sensitive only while you are here, you are
being influenced, and that has no value whatsoever. It is merely
propaganda, and therefore should be shunned, put away,
destroyed, for in that way you create masters, teachers, authorities.
But if you have observed yourself as you listened when I
have talked; if you have been aware of your own reactions at every
minute as we have gone along for over an hour; if you have been
awake, not only to what was being said by the speaker but also to
the movements of your own thought and feeling, then when you
leave this tent and go away by yourself you will know your own
state of mind and will never be blindly caught in it again.
