| 9 | VideoIntent Is Everything | "We are all in this together, and your pain is my pain. There's no separation, there's no boundary, and that's part of the practical reason for the development of this belief that I am limited to this individual life, that I am separate from you. Part of the reason that this belief develops until it's so strong and difficult to even see and much less dislodge, is because of its utility: it keeps me in the idea that your pain is your pain, and that it doesn't touch me, it doesn't affect me, even though that's not true."

| 10 | VideoSelf-Inquiry Is For All | "You are always, without interruption, fully aware of your own presence. You may not see that that is the case, because you are looking for something else -- looking here, looking there, wanting this, wanting that -- never suspecting that what you really want more than anything else you are already are seeing all the time. The effect of the work of trying to look at you whenever you can is to create an environment in which, when the moment comes when this that is permanently here reveals itself, you see it for what it is -- whereas prior to engaging in the work itself, you might not even have noticed it."

| 11 | VideoWho Dies? | "The inquiry itself is taking place within the lie that you are this life alone, and at stake here. So that the actual perception of you seems to be something separate and apart from you. When you see yourself from within the lie, it feels like you're seeing something else. The way to test this is to determine whether what you are seeing is something that has never been here before or something that has always been here and you just haven't noticed that you're always seeing it."

| 12 | VideoWe Are All In This Together | "In the moment when you're actually turning your attention inward, trying to see the actual reality of what you are, the only goal is the looking. The goal in this looking is not to find confirmation of what you believe yourself to be, to attain peace and tranquility, or to destroy misery and suffering. Those larger goals are what brings you to the inquiry in the first place. But when you're actually turning your attention inward, at that moment, the only thing that you're trying to do is to look." John ShermanMeeting # 4 of the 2007 Retreat with John Sherman in Ojai, California on November 4, 2007 am.Themes discussed:1. Self-Inquiry Is For Everybody2. The Proof Is In The Pudding3. Self-Inquiry Is Like Medicine4. Life Is Sweet5. There Is Only One Mind6. What To Tell The ChildrenLength: 1 h 33 min | 6/24/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 13 | VideoThe Practice | "The goal of the inquiry is to look at yourself, that's all. The reason we undertake the inquiry is to rid ourselves of this lie that we are some thing -- life, mind, consciousness, god, love, hatred; to rid ourselves of all the beliefs about what we are. So that we know first hand, without mediation, without the need to understand or explain, the reality of what we are. That's the reason we undertake it. But the goal of the actual work is just to look at yourself." John ShermanMeeting # 3 of the 2007 Retreat with John Sherman in Ojai, California on November 3, 2007 pm.Themes discussed:1. The Goal of Self-Inquiry2. There Is Nothing But You3. The Goal Is In Your Hand4. Discipline Is Needed5. Daily Practice6. It's Up to You7. Spiritual Experiences8. The Looking Is the Goal9. You Have to Do the WorkLength: 1 h 33 min | 6/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 14 | VideoLook At Yourself | "The inquiry is looking at reality as often as you can; looking at what you know to be the unmoving, ever-present presence itself, as often as you can. And as you do this, you will see that it gets easier, and the whole idea of it being difficult begins to disintegrate. In fact, it is so wondrous a thing to be doing, that you find yourself wanting to do it all the time." Meeting # 2 of the 2007 Retreat with John Sherman in Ojai, California on November 3, 2007 am.Themes discussed:1. Self-Inquiry Is Not Spiritual 2. Let The Light Do The Work 3. You Can't Do It Wrong4. You Are Not Looking For States 5. You Are Not Your LifeLength: 1 h 17 min | 6/22/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 15 | VideoIt's All About Identity | "What I have to offer is not a development of the path that you've been following; it is not a development in your spiritual life. What I'm here to speak with you about has absolutely nothing to do with fixing your life, making your thoughts clean, ridding you of bad desires or helping you fan the flames of good desires. It doesn't have anything to do with understanding the actual, absolute reality of things." John ShermanMeeting # 1 of the 2007 Retreat with John Sherman in Ojai, California on November 2, 2007.Themes discussed: 1. The Cause of All Suffering 2. The Internal War 3. Who Says It Is Hard? 4. Who Are You? 5. You Are On Your Own | 6/21/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 16 | VideoOur 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."

| 17 | VideoFace To Face With Yourself | "The purpose of the work is not to bring about new states of grace. Self-inquiry is the effort to come face to face with your actual nature and to know it to be you."

| 18 | VideoTranscendence & Transformation | From a Meeting with John Sherman on November 10, 2008 pm"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 ShermanFrom a Meeting with John Sherman on November 10, 2008 pm in Ojai, California. | 6/9/09 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 19 | VideoThis Is Not Spiritual | "It doesn't surprise me that spiritual people would reject this that we are offering and turn from it. This doesn't mean that it doesn't penetrate. It has nothing to say about the ultimate outcome in their own minds in regard to this. It is the natural movement of defense of the identity to reject this, especially you have a deep investment in spiritual understanding, spiritual practice and spiritual aspiration."

| 21 | VideoA Worldwide Meeting with John Sherman - September 15, 2007 | "Most of the questions I receive are about phenomena arising in the mind. None of that needs to be addressed; nothing needs to be done about the mind. All that's needed is to move the beam of your attention to the certainty that you exist as often as possible. Once you start looking for the reality of you, you will come back to this looking, again and again. And it is the looking that does all the work."
