If you would be finished with fearfulness, anxiety, and the sense of being trapped in your life, all you have to do is look at yourself. When the issue of identity is settled, all else follows. John Sherman

Worldwide Online Meeting - December 6, 2008 We are not seeking here to burn up ego, we are not seeking to get rid of negative ideas, and we are not here to get rid of wrong desires. All we are seeking here is to get a glimpse of the reality that we are. Click here to listen this recording.
Het is mij al enige tijd duidelijk dat de hele wolk van spirituele begrippen en inzichten uit het verleden geen enkele invloed heeft op een reële kans om vrij te zijn van angst, verdriet en lijden in iemands leven. Ik bedoel die hele cluster van soetra's en shastra's, de Upanishaden, de zoete inzichten en de recentere geschriften van Wei Wu Wei, bijvoorbeeld, van wie ik ongewoon veel houd. Ik noem hem in het bijzonder omdat het een veel moderner voorbeeld is van waar ik het over heb en het lijkt erop dat zijn geschriften het hedendaags bewustzijn rechtstreekser en duidelijker aanspreken dan de Upanishaden, de Hart soetra of de Diamant soetra.

I due aspetti dell'autoindagine L'aspetto principale dell'autoindagine è sempre accessibile: vedere ciò che sei. È facile, perché sei sempre qui. Non puoi negarlo. Ciò che sei non è cambiato, e non è affetto dalla tua storia. Cosicché, in realtà, ciò che sei è l'origine della certezza assoluta della tua esistenza. Nulla può esser detto ma si può puntualmente notarla, sentirla o intuirla. Ciò che sei non è mai assente, è sempre a portata di mano. Per cui l'aspetto principale dell'autoindagine è di fermarsi per un momento, ripetutamente e ogni qual volta ci si ricorda, e di assaporare quella realtà, che è la presenza che sei, immutabile, immobile e sempre qui.

Complete Transcription of A Worldwide Online Meeting with John Sherman on November 1, 2008 The purpose of life is to see, to look. The purpose of life has nothing to do with becoming anything, with forming any particular identity. It has nothing to do with gaining enlightenment. It has nothing to do with gaining redemption, transformation, transcendence, or any of that. It has nothing to do with stopping time, or eliminating the certainty of the grave at the end of life. You are not going to that grave, you are here. You are here. Click here to read the complete transcription.

| Podcast |
| Worldwide Meeting - November 15, 2008 I have come to see that there is little practical usefulness in approaching the issue of human suffering from the standpoint of the traditional, ancient teachings about the nature of reality, and our relationship to it, and about what we can do to actually reap the fruits of the promise that life seems to hold for us. These teachings, beautiful, wondrous and powerful as they may be, have proven to hold little or no help for us in these matters. |

| Our work is to teach the method of the vichara (self-inquiry) to all who will receive it. The only problem anywhere to be found is the false belief that you are at the mercy of your life, and the only solution is the truth, which is everywhere and always present and self-evident. Ridding oneself of the false is as easy as repeatedly tasting the truth of being here, unmovingly, unchangingly here. This repeated looking directly at oneself is the infallible method of the vichara. Although our meetings are free of charge, they are certainly not free of cost. The money needed for this work must come entirely from the generosity and compassion of those who, like us, have seen for themselves the immense worth of spreading this good news to all humanity. Please help provide financial support for the work of making this method more widely available in the world by making a donation or a monthly pledge in any amount now. All donations to the River Ganga Foundation are fully tax-deductible. |
