Welcome the New Year 2012

        I often explore questions with fellow sojourners.  Recently questions about truth came up. Is it possible to live a life that is free from our individual and personal biases and our culturally instilled perceptions?  Truly, this is our work of a lifetime, I believe.  We are so accustomed to thinking in terms of me and mine, you and yours, they and theirs; all separating perceptions, at best, war and destruction, taken to its furthest application.  A very sticky mess to try to unravel and reach the source that is universal, unlimited, and beyond individualism.  A brilliant sage, a man for all times and seasons, J. Krishnamurti (1895-1986) touches upon these themes, and others, in his works and words: 

"Truth cannot be accumulated.  What is accumulated is always being destroyed; it withers away.  Truth can never wither because it can only be found from moment to moment in every thought, in every relationship, in every word, in every gesture, in a smile, in tears.  And if you and I can find that and live it - the very living is the finding of it - then we shall not become propagandists; we shall be creative human beings - not perfect human beings, but creative human beings, which is vastly different."  
                                                                - J. Krishnamurti, The Book of Life
