About the Portland Maine Self-Inquiry Group
Welcome
Who am I? What is my truest nature? Why am I here? What is life? What is my relation to the universe? What is enlightenment? If you find yourself asking yourself these kinds of questions, you may be interested in attending our meetings.
What we do
The purpose of the meetings is to help one another achieve insight into our true natures by the method of confrontational inquiry. The group leader poses a question each meeting. After silently contemplating the question, each member answers the question for themselves in writing. Then, in turn, we share what we wrote. The other people in the group ask us about our answers. We may find that what we thought we believed about ourselves does not hold up under the scrutiny of the group, or we may find insights into our selves in the process of explaining our answers to others. No one is required to read their answer if they do not wish to.
