Our Mission

Our mission is to advance the Work of Franklin Merrell-Wolff, to work toward his stated objective.

As he says of his own work, “The ultimate objective is to facilitate, as far as possible, that event which, when achieved, is called Fundamental Realization or Enlightenment.” The goal involves a transformation of consciousness.

Our task is not merely to present his philosophy, but to illuminate it with insight and empathy, using our critical and inquiring intelligence. We serve as the focal point for spiritual seekers interested in Franklin Merrell-Wolff to connect with us and with each other online on the Friends of Franklin Merrell-Wolff Facebook (meta), this website, personal email, and at Franklin’s Lone Pine home and estate—now called The Great Space Center—which affords an invigorating hike up to the Ashrama.
