Philosophical self-inquiry meeting


Details
This Meeting Location: (see location explanation below).
Topic: The Treasure Within our Lives Unconnected to Experience
Objective: Solve the existential riddle (and big problem) of life and death.
Direction: Inquire into the core of being.
In his introduction to Chapter 9, "The Pickaxe: Getting to the Treasure Beneath the Foundation," of The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks refers to the "treasure within our lives unconnected to experience."
The enso, or calligraphic circle, represents an opening of the mind to That which is beyond experience and beyond imagination.
The discussions are focused on self-inquiry and structured around a topic or whatever is on your mind.
We meet on alternate Saturdays (occasionally with an extra week between), and since 2013 all meetings were at the Main Alachua County Library ... until 2025. The library system allows us to reserve one meeting room each month in advance, then not until the day of any other meetings. So far this year we haven't been able to reserve rooms in advance at the main library.
We will include locations reserved in advance on these meeting blurbs. For other meetings, we will message members who accept messages as soon on the meeting day as we've been able to reserve a location.
At meetings at the main library, check with the information desk on the 2nd floor for the exact meeting room location.
