I've been reading Mary Lutyens biography of Krishnamurti lately and the last volume had a quote from one of his talks that I thought fit Kevin well:
I rather doubt that Kevin would completely agree with the religious attitude, but otherwise it seems a lot like what keeps saying.
Don't accept a thing the speaker is saying. Follow his reasoning and the subtleties involved in it, but doubt it, be a light to yourself. Religion is the skeptical inquiry into the whole of our existence which is our consciousness. If there is fear your meditation is it utterly meaningless. A free mind is essential for inquiry and when there is fear there is no freedom.
