Self Inquiry Group

What We Are About

The Self Inquiry Group (SIG), located in Raleigh, North Carolina, provides an opportunity to meet with others involved in the search for Truth and Self-realization. Our meetings consist of an informal and open discussion of paths, teachers, techniques, philosophical and spiritual systems, and possible ways and means for expediting the search. The discussions are not academic or theoretical, but rather focus on our own personal experiences as seekers. There is usually also a period of silent meditation at some point during the evening.

Most people who continue to come to our meetings are not concerned with "Why should I seek Self-realization?" but rather, "What is the best way to go about it?" There is a paradox in that we use words to talk about that which is beyond words, and although there is often talk of paths and things to do, there is also general agreement that the best approach is subtractive. That is, rather than try to accumulate more spiritual and worldly knowledge, to doubt the truth of all you think you already know.

The Self-Inquiry Group is not affiliated with any other groups, but has close ties with the TAT Foundation, and some of those attending our meetings were students of Richard Rose, so browsing the TAT web site at www.tatfoundation.org may help you get a feel for our roots and our approach to spiritual endeavors.

If you find yourself drawn to teachers like Richard Rose, Nisargadatta Maharaj, Ramana Maharshi, Douglas Harding, Tony Parsons, Franklin Merrell-Wolf, Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, and the ancient masters of Zen, Advaita Vedanta, and Christian Mysticism, you may find our meetings worthwhile.
