Approaches to Self-Inquiry
Sunday, January 13, 2019
KECC

Five people were in attendance for this Sunday afternoon session at the Centre in Metchosin. Ralph had purchased a feature-length movie entitled Closer than Close, which followed some of the process of a group of young men and women who were meeting over a period of time to share their journeys of self-discovery. The film producer interviewed the group members and a few other individuals who had been committed to some time to self-inquiry and the search for wholeness or “enlightenment”. The characters discussed what had motivated them to set out on the search and some of the key insights that had occured. The exploration of the fact of death for all of us, and what impact it has on our life experience, was one of the central themes. All those interviewed presented their thoughts, questions, and realizations very eloquently; as listeners we could easily relate to their experience.
Following the film we discussed issues raised by the film and how they related to our own lives and understanding. It was a very interesting exchange of ideas and insights.
