Q: What is your true identity?
Are you identified with what you experience?
Your body?
Your most important physical possessions?
Your thoughts / feelings?
Your decision-making / control?
Is your dissatisfaction related to the quality and evanescence of “positive” experience?
Experience that inflates your self-worth?
Q: Is it important to find/discover/become your true identity?
Is it possible to get behind / anterior to the experience dimension / spacetime?
To our core state of being per Self-Realization testimony?
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.
