2021 FMW Conference
April 04, 2021 / Leave a Comment / Trackback / Posted in News
The 2021 Franklin Merrell-Wolff Conference will be held on August 5–8 at the Great Space Center.
Our keynote speaker, Thomas J. McFarlane, MA; MS, presents The Aphorisms on Law. Beginning with Franklin’s Aphorisms on Consciousness Without an Object concerning the consciousness of objects, Tom will explore the nature of law as related to the laws of mathematics, physics, and experience. The idea of the hierarchical structure of laws, from general to specific, may be extrapolated to the domains of morality, society and regulated games.
Ron Leonard, PhD, will present Non-Duality. Franklin’s philosophy, based on his Mystical Realizations, is Non-Dualistic. Ron proposes to explore the meaning of Non-Duality, and how Mystical Realization reveals Ultimate Reality. Then he shall invite the group to move beyond intellect to personal Realization.
Doroethy Leonard, MA; M.Ed., will conduct a Synchronicity Workshop. Synchronicity is not what you think. Over the years, this term, as well as ‘archetype’, have become popularized. Therefore, much of the Jungian meaning has been trivialized. Doroethy will be reiterating what Jung said in Structure & Dynamics of the Psyche. He spoke of this concept to Einstein before WWI, but didn’t lecture on it until about 1930.

2020 Commemoration of FMW’s Enlightenment

A small, dedicated group in the Great Space made our celebration of Franklin’s Enlightenment especially rewarding…keeping the flame lit though the challenging time and protocols of the pandemic. As we know, “when two or three are gathered….” Thanks also to those who sent messages of support and encouragement…and hope that we all will be able to attend next year.
2020 FMW Conference Postponed

We deeply regret to announce that the 2020 Franklin Merrell-Wolff Conference is postponed until next summer due to the ongoing hazard of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our keynote speaker, Thomas J. McFarlane, has graciously agreed to present at that time (TBA).
Over the years, the annual event—originally timed to celebrate Franklin’s Enlightenment (8/7/36)—has evolved into an optimal balance of substance, spirituality and personal intimacy. The measures required to hold gatherings under these conditions (as well as the risks of traveling) would have compromised this atmosphere—and a group photo of all attendees wearing masks would have emphasized it. Similarly, a virtual conference via Zoom is fine for business, but would fall far short here.
Doroethy and Ron will be commemorating Franklin’s Realizations in a small informal setting on Sunday morning of 8/2/2020 (10:00 a.m. EDT) in the Great Space. For those who wish to tune in non-locally, we shall feel the energy of your presence.

Doroethy Leonard, MA; M.Ed., will conduct a Synchronicity Workshop. Synchronicity is not what you think. Over the years this term, as well as ‘archetype’, have become popularized. Therefore, much of the Jungian meaning has been trivialized. Doroethy will be reiterating what Jung said in Ch. 7 of Structure and Dynamics of the Psyche. He spoke of this concept to Einstein before WWI, but didn’t lecture on it until about 1930.
