Philosophical self-inquiry meeting

This Meeting Location: Foundation Room.

Topic: Certainty

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

Q: What do you most want to see the last of? (What’s pushing you?)
Q: What is the extreme opposite? (What’s pulling you?)
Q: How will you be sure that what you find will be lasting?

“Truth walks toward us on the path of our questions.” ~ Maisie Dobbs, by Jacqueline Winspear

From “The Ascent of Mount Carmel,” by Juan Ypes (St. John of the Cross)

• To come to the knowledge which you have not you must go by a way in which you know not.
• To come to the possession you have not you must go by a way in which you possess not.
• To come to be what you are not you must go by a way in which you are not.

The path to certainty is a path through uncertainty.

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.
