Philosophical self-inquiry meeting

This Meeting Location: (see location explanation below).

Topic: Forgetting & Remembering

Objective: Solve the existential riddle (and big problem) of life and death.
Direction: Inquire into the core of being.
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting….
Not in entire forgetfulness….
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home….
~ William Wordsworth, "Ode: Intimations of Immortality"

There is one thing in this world which you must never forget to do. If you forget everything else and not this, there is nothing to worry about, but if you remember everything else and forget this, then you will have done nothing in your life. ~ The Soul of Rumi: A New Collection of Ecstatic Poems

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.
