Philosophical self-inquiry meeting

This Meeting Location: (see location explanation below).

Topic: The Return Home

Objective: Solve the existential riddle (and big problem) of life and death.
Direction: Inquire into the core of being.

All day I think about it, then at night I say it. Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, And I intend to end up there....

Who says words with my mouth? Who looks out with my eyes? What is the soul? I cannot stop asking....

I didn't come here of my own accord, and I can't leave that way. Whoever brought me here will have to take me home....
~ Rumi, "The Tavern"

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.
