Philosophical self-inquiry meeting

This Meeting Location: (Foundation Room - 2nd floor).

Topic: Sitting Down Near

He moves and He moves not.
He is far, and He is near.
He is within all, and He is outside all.
~ Isha Upanishad
The Sanskrit term Upaniṣad comes from upa "by" and ni-ṣad "sit down," translating to "sitting down near."


If we ask, for instance, whether the position of the electron remains the same, we must say "no"; if we ask whether the position of the electron changes with time, we must say "no"; if we ask whether the electron is at rest, we must say "no"; if we ask whether it is in motion, we must say "no." ~ J. Robert Oppenheimer

You move and you move not.
You are far, and you are near.
You are within all, and you are outside all.


If we ask whether your position remains the same, we must say no; if we ask whether your position changes with time, we must say no; if we ask whether you are at rest, we must say no; if we ask whether you are in motion, we must say no.

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.
