Audios Recordings of Meetings with John Sherman Self-inquiry will not make of you anything that you are not already, but it will, over time, destroy the false belief that you are at the mercy of this body, this mind, this story, this life. That false belief is the root cause of all human suffering whatsoever. John will show you how to apply your own inherent intelligence and innocent curiosity in the radical self-inquiry of Ramana Maharshi to see directly, in this moment, the naked reality of what you are.

Your life is yourself made real. Not real in the philosophical sense, but real in the sense of a manifested object. Live recording of a Worldwide Meeting with John Sherman on July 5, 2008. Length: 1 h 39 min. File size: 23.8 MB MP3 File A Worldwide Meeting - June 21, 2008 This work is entirely about identity. There is nothing else that is of any use for us in fulfilling the natural desire to be alive, and free, and in love with life. There is nothing else that matters apart from identity. There is nothing else that gets in the way; there is no other problem, no other cause of suffering than the issue of identity. When the issue of identity is settled, all else follows.

That is what the self-inquiry of Ramana Maharshi is. "Self-inquiry" is really not a good translation for what he advises. There is no inquiry to it. There is no question to it; there is no answer to it. "Who am I?" is not a question, it is a quest. It is an exploration, an adventure, it is an investigation into the bedrock reality of identity. It is the movement that will resolve the issue of identity once and for all. It is the action that will remove from you the fearfulness and anxiety that arise solely because there is operating within you the unseen, unseeable, inferential conviction that there is nothing to you but this life.
