About

        Efnet IRC is the oldest chat room network. Its spiritual channels/'rooms' include the #esoteric & #mysticism & #occult & #spirit & #spiritual (usually biggest, linked with IRCnet & UnderNet) & #spirituality, #gnosis & #philalethia, #meditation, #pagan (linked with IRCnet, #vegetarian (linked with IRCnet) & #vegan, #yoga (linked with IRCnet and UnderNet), and many rooms accessible on each network.
        You can connect to the EFnet rooms through the links above, their names in the menu to the left, an IRC client program (which can also connect to the others). The rooms may be old but started in their current form in the mid-'0s (except #philalethia, 2014). They are open for discussion for all relevant philosophical/spiritual topics, such as (in #philalethia, a polite alternative to EFnet's older larger philosophy channels) ancient to Classical worldwide/Western philosophy, and (for #yoga) Yoga in Indian philosophies & religions, modern Yoga, and, to some extent, ecumenism involving Yoga.
        The rooms' (listed here) constitution and rules are the EFnet Philosophical/Spiritual Chat Rooms Constitution And Rules. If you need help or have a rules question on EFnet, please message an operator/'moderator'/'administrator'.
        We're affiliated with the Universal Light Society (see links page for both and more).
