Name: Philosophical self-inquiry meeting
Start: 2025-12-06T14:00:00-05:00

Location: Alachua County Library District Headquarters

**This Meeting Location:** (see location explanation below).

**Topic: The Real Problem**

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

The real problem: what am I?
“I am a man is not natural. You are neither this nor that.” Ramana Maharshi.
\~ From *The Little Book Of Life And Death* by Douglas Harding.

In *Two Plus Two Equals Reality*, William Samuel challenges the reader with fundamental questions:
• Who am I; who are you?
• Why are we here?
• What is the purpose of life?
• Who or what is God?
• What is absolute reality?

Self-Realization answers the classical troika of:
• Who (or what am I)?
• Whence (did I come from before birth)? and
• Whither (am I going after death)?

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.

> 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.
> The general self-inquiry question for each meeting: What are you at the core of your being?
