About us
Welcome to the Gainesville Philosophical Self-Inquiry Meetup Group!
What's behind the sense of "I am"? Who's living, and who's facing death? Who or what am I, essentially? Will some part of me continue on after death? Is there an unchanging, eternal part of me? Am I a part of some unchanging, eternal essence?
Occasional individuals throughout history have told of finding the answer to those questions, and their testimonies often have a surprising consistency. Richard Rose wrote: "Beyond the mind is a golden find...."
For individuals seeking to find the answer for themselves, those testimonies provide helpful clues for pursuing the search to a successful conclusion.
For some searchers, working by themselves is the preferred method. Others intuit that finding a few fellow seekers to work with may expedite their progress. Still more fortunate may be those who find a living person who has made the journey and can provide assistance from the perspective of that realization.

Gainesville Philosophical Self-Inquiry Meetup Group
Headquarters Library | Alachua County Library District, 401 E University Ave, Gainesville, FL 32601, USA, Gainesville, FL, USThis Meeting Location: Foundation Room (2nd floor).
Purpose: The purpose of philosophical self-inquiry is to find what we are at the core of our being … our true identity. We have a working identity that forms as we experience life and that acts as a lens through which we see and react to what we experience. Questioning that working identity is how we go within to find our true identity.
Topic: Bring your questions and complaints for discussion.
We meet on alternate Saturdays (occasionally with an extra week between) at the Main Alachua County Library. The library system allows us to reserve one meeting room each month in advance, then not until the day of any other meetings.
We will let you know as soon as we've been able to reserve a location. You can check with the information desk on the 2nd floor for the exact meeting room location.See free book to read or download on Art's website.
Philosophical Self-Inquiry is an unconventional adventure.
Philosophy is the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.
Self-Inquiry is going within to find answers.
