Synopsis:
"Listening is an art which very few of us are capable of. We never actually listen. The word has a sound and we don't listen to the sound, we are always interpreting it, trying to translate the word into our own particular language or particular tradition, but we never listen acutely, without any distortion... we never listen to each other. You never listen to your wife, do you? You know her much too well, or she you. There is not a sense of deep appreciation, friendship, amity so that you listen to each other, whether you like or not, but you do listen. And if you listen so completely, that very listening, that very act of listening is a great miracle."
- J. Krishnamurti
Our ears are constantly receiving sound inputs from the environment and our brain is constantly interpreting them in terms of its conditioning resulting in accumulation of lots of knowledge. Ears are merely the input devices while the actual listening is by the brain. Just as the brain can listen to outer noise, it can also listen to the inner noise - the constant chattering that is going on, all the psychological reactions that arise in us e.g. anger, fear, hatred, jealousy, wanting to hurt another, all kinds of worries, suffering, etc. But in this case also the brain keeps on interpreting what it listens to and ends up gathering lots of psychological knowledge, which further conditions it. This knowledge may help it in managing the psychological reactions but there is never freedom from them. Probably that is why human beings although developed technologically, have remained more or less primitive psychologically. Is there a different kind of listening that does not gather knowledge? In what way can it bring psychological freedom for human beings? Is it a technique or is it an art? How does one learn to listen? All such questions will be taken up for exploration in this workshop. The workshop will be based on J. Krishnamurti's teachings. His approach to the art of listening leading to psychological freedom will be the main focus of enquiry during the workshop.
