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 - October 12, 2011

"The fact is that the mass of human consciousness is afflicted with the fear of life, which itself is the driving force that is taking all of us over the cliff. It just seems such a shame to me that a creature of such promise should just pass away from a disease that is so easily curable. This is why we have begun this campaign to bring the looking to everybody in the human creature."

A Worldwide Meeting - October 8, 2011

"I am not a spiritual teacher. Spiritual aspiration is a perfectly legitimate human pursuit. So is physics. So is psychology. So is philosophy. So is art. All perfectly legitimate human pursuits, none of which has anything to do with what I try to speak about -- and any resemblance is purely coincidental." John Sherman

Open House Meeting - September 28, 2011

"The luck of the draw that brought about the appearance of self-consciousness in human beings also brought about the fear of life itself. This fear is like an autoimmune disease in which the human creature fears its own life. In the absence of this disease, sanity prevails. It's that simple." John Sherman
