This is what I think is true about that:
Different people discover things in different amounts of time. Some
are ready now and some are not.
When something new is seen, it is seen in one moment. For some people
the big change can happen in one moment. For others, I believe it
takes time.
Effort will not cause awareness to come upon us. It comes when it
comes. Making goals and applying effort only slows us down and
prevents something new from entering. We are either open to it or we
are not, and there is nothing we can do about it except to see it and be
pained by it.
There is resistance within. What breaks it down? Hopefully, time,
suffering, and experience.

Below is an excerpt of Michael Krohnen's reflection that I would like to discuss
with anyone who is stuck like him as well as with those on that other shore.
"As we listen to Krishnamurti and study the
significance of his teachings, we often cannot
help but be struck by what appears to
be a paradox.
…his insistence on immediate
‘insight’ and hence ‘transformation’, and
thereby his denial of any gradual approach,
appears to pose the greatest conundrum
and difficulty. I have studied his
work for many years, even decades, and
yet I’m still waiting for that tremendous
revolution in my consciousness.
On the other hand, he again and again
urges us not to seek, not to expect anything,
not to set up a goal or an end to be
achieved, however noble and transcendent
it may be."
