How to Look at Yourself

 

"I'm going to try and show you directly how to rid yourself of the incessant background murmur of anxiety that ruins life for most of us once and for all, and where to find the treasure of abiding satisfaction with life using a simple act of inward looking that is very easy to perform. I would be grateful if you would follow closely what I'm about to say, even if you have been with us for a long time, and even if you have direct personal experience of the effects of the looking. I would also be grateful if you would put aside anything else you are doing now other than following what I am saying here and trying to do what I am suggesting. It won't take long – 10 to 15 minutes at the most." John Sherman

Our Work

"First, last, and always, my advice is only to look at the feeling of being you, without the mediation of understanding, the need to resolve paradox, or the requirement that this looking lead to any conclusion. Simply make every effort just to look, and persist in that effort as often as you can. In this effort, understanding is irrelevant, belief is irrelevant, even duration is irrelevant -- the briefest look, repeated over time, does all the work." John Sherman

Transcendence & Transformation

"I have no interest in instilling any kind of desire, hope or ideas of transcendence. The striving for transcendence implies an escape from the current realm into some greater realm that actually, as is obvious to those who have been trapped in the transcendence trance, leads inevitably to bitterness and disappointment. Transcendence is a false hope, a bait-and-switch operation. Nothing comes of it." John Sherman
