"If you come here to this land of looking at yourself from the realm of spiritual aspiration and awakened teachers, you may harbor a number of expectations about Carla, and me, and the act itself that are simply not pertinent here. One of these could be a silent expectation that I should be infallible in what I say, and that it's your job to puzzle things out and figure out what I mean when I make no sense to you. I advise you to abandon all ideas to the effect that I know everything about anything, including the act of looking at yourself and its results and consequences." John Sherman

"Although OCD can be treated and its effects minimized, it cannot be cured. The reason for this is that OCD is not a disease, it's a symptom. We see it to be a symptom of the generalized fear of being alive disease that afflicts most of us, and that disease can be cured by the simple act of looking at yourself in the manner we speak of. When you do that, the underlying disease is cured, and its symptoms, including OCD, disintegrate, although there is no telling how long it will take in each particular case." John Sherman

"It's not necessary to understand the cause of the negative thoughts and emotions that disturb you. They are thought only. The root cause of all of them is the appearance of the fear of life as a context that shapes and distorts the personal psychological apparatus. Declining to attend to those thoughts cannot bring you any harm." John Sherman
