This Meeting Location: (to be announced).

Topic: Knowing by Identity

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

From Franklin Merrell-Wolff's teaching:

  • Fundamental in the technique presented by Sri Shankaracharya for the attainment of Realization is the process known as self-analysis. This is a technique in which one convinces himself that his own identity is not with anything whatsoever that is an object of consciousness.
  • Introception is a third faculty or function of cognition (way of knowing) besides sense perception and conceptual cognition.
  • Whereas conception establishes the logical relations between concepts, and perception applies concepts to sensations, Introception is Knowledge-through-Identity.

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?
