Flowering - a new gift book from the KFAThe year is coming to a close. This week we have the last Theme Weekend of the year. The breakfast table at the Pepper Tree Retreat has become the place for dialogue and philosophical discussion. The Retreat will be open over the holidays.

In the video quote this week you will find an unusual phrase, counter to our prevailing culture: "Doubt, skepticism is a great purifier." I can't help imagining what a change that would be for our world if we were all encouraged to nurture doubt instead of perceiving doubt as a weakness.

We just launched a new book called Flowering. This coffee table book has beautiful close-up pictures of flowers together with an exceptional selection of quotes by Krishnamurti. From the Flowering book I selected the following quote:

"...Freedom is a very complex issue and to understand the complexity of it the flowering of the mind is necessary... This flowering is the total unfoldment and cultivation of our minds, our hearts and our physical well-being. That is, to live in complete harmony in which there is no opposition or contradiction between them..."  - J.Krishnamurti, Flowering
 
Sincerely,
 
Jaap
