The Fear of Life

  • The Fear of Life and The Simple Act of Inward Looking That Snuffs It Out
    If you will try, with your whole heart, to bring the beam of your attention in direct contact with the reality of your nature, you will snuff out the fear of life, which is the first cause of all human misery. I call this action "looking at yourself." If you will just try to look at yourself, the disease will go away, and with it the perception of your life as a problem to be solved, a threat to be destroyed, or the hiding place of a secret treasure that will bring fulfillment and satisfaction. It's that simple.

The Way Forward

  • The Way Forward
    We can see now the way forward to bring the miracle of inward looking to all of humanity. Our experience of our own lives has shown us directly what is possible for all human beings: an end to fearfulness and alienation from life that can easily be accomplished by anyone willing to try one simple act of inward looking. This is like nothing you have ever heard before; this is a revolution in the making for all of humanity.

Open House Meeting - April 13, 2011

"The point of the looking is not to make you more aware of yourself. It is to rid you of the belief that life is treacherous and dangerous and to make you safe and sane in your own life." John Sherman

A Worldwide Meeting - April 9, 2011

"What has led us astray and driven humanity insane is the staying power of the point of view that sees life itself to be the problem with life; the point of view that can find no solution other than to reform, transform, transcend, or escape from life itself. The solution to this insanity is to rid oneself of the idea that life is the problem, and the way to do exactly that is simply to look at yourself. The mere act of looking, of trying to get a direct taste of what it feels like to be you, unmediated by past beliefs or understandings, snuffs out the fear of life, and restores sanity and intimacy. In time, you will find yourself home, safe and sane, fully engaged in the wonder of life as a human being." John Sherman

Open House Meeting - April 6, 2011

"As long as life is here, it is endlessly engaging and endlessly unfolding in its own way. And once the cause of the trouble finally goes, and the ruckus that attends its leaving begins to settle down, one of the things that stands out very clearly is that one becomes unexpectedly capable of being more skillful at managing and navigating the wonder of one's own life."
