Philosophical self-inquiry meeting

This Meeting Location: (to be announced).

Topic: Existence

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

Suppose that:
· What we experience as “our life” is like watching AI machinery at work.
· What we are is providing a stream of data that our AI machinery projects and reacts to.
· The AI machinery is “conscious”:
◦ Knows that it is “here” and
◦ Its attention is hypnotized by what it experiences in time and space.
· The conscious AI machinery can encounter conditions that:
◦ Bring its attention back to its source, before time and space,
◦ Recognizes that absolute Is-ness as its real and true identity, and
◦ Return to its sojourn in time and space.
◦ The sum of which is properly termed as Self-Realization.
“You are aware prior to birth and aware after you die, so you begin with awareness, but you are not conscious of awareness.” ~ Richard Rose (The Direct-Mind Experience)
=> Is Self-Realization—becoming Reality & Truth—serving an ideal that you can see dedicating your life to?
=> If so, how would you or do you go about it?

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.
