This is to announce the 2026-27 edition of The Book of Yourself online course. The course will begin this coming September and will run until March 2027. You can see the schedule here: https://thebookofyourself.com/the-course-2025/. You can find an introduction and a full description of the course on the website.
|
Some of you may be already familiar with what this course is about. For those of you who may be new to it, The Book of Yourself is a comprehensive study of J. Krishnamurti’s teachings. It consists in fourteen sessions or chapters covering the broad spectrum of Krishnamurti’s insightful journey into the human condition, from the evidence of pervasive fragmentation and conflict to the understanding and transformation of consciousness and the awakening of a deeper spiritual dimension of being.
|
Each chapter consists of a selection of texts by Krishnamurti over the theme under study together with a set of Power Point summaries of these texts. Links to audios and videos of Krishnamurti relevant to the theme are also included in the study material. The chapter presentations are prerecorded. However, in keeping with the participatory nature of our inquiry, the course also includes a series of bi-weekly zoom dialogue meetings where we will go into each of the chapters together.
|
The cost for the course is €375. Payment can be made via PayPal or directly to the bank account provided. For people in Europe, it is preferable that payments be made via direct bank transfer. Once registration is completed, you will receive an email from me with the passwords to access the course content as well as the zoom link for the live dialogue meetings.
|
I hope you will find this of interest and that you will join us in this in-depth exploration.

Dear Friends I was very interested to hear that the first Summer Gathering for decades at Brockwood Park took place this past year, in August, with 120 participants. Those who commented to me about it were very keen on it, especially that the younger staff members took it in their stride to manage it, and did so very well. The …

Last year we renamed Friedrich’s Newsletter as simply The Newsletter. That seemed to be appropriate, as it was becoming a more impersonal co-production. However, some readers found the change was not quite suitable and suggested we should revert to the old title. After a brief exchange about it, we decided that it was a good idea, since the newsletter owes its impetus and existence …
