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 - May 18, 2011

"The sense of self-consciousness, of being aware that I am a separate being is not a problem; it is actually a gift. The problem is the alienation and sense of separation from my own life, the sense that I am at stake here and that I have to keep life at arm's length." John Sherman

A Worldwide Meeting - May 7, 2011

"This work has nothing to do with looking for silence, or the absence of thought, or awareness, but trying to look at you, trying to get a direct contact with the actual experience of what it feels like to be you. It's very important that the effort be made to get what it feels like to be you, and not just the absence of thought, the spaciousness, the oneness, or any of that." John Sherman

Open House Meeting - May 4, 2011

"Once you start the effort to turn the beam of your attention inward, trying to get a taste of what it feels like to be you, that's the medicine. The act of trying is the medicine. Over time, the sense of an antagonistic relationship with your life just vanishes. And since what happens is a vanishing, it is often the case that you don't even know that it has happened."

Open House Meeting - April 20, 2011

"In the looking, it would be best to start from the assumption that you've never done this before and you don't even know what it is." John Sherman
