"The idea 'I'm okay, nothing touches me' is just a thought form, and it's part of the symptom package with which the psychology seeks to protect itself. What's much more useful is to train your attention without regard to the nature of the experience that is present, so as to develop more control over where your attention goes." John Sherman

"The process of recovery that follows the first attempt to look at yourself can be long and difficult, but that is really unnecessary. Working with attention will shortcut the torment and confusion caused by being exposed to life directly for the first time." John Sherman

What the act feels like is beside the point. Start out with a clean intention to simply get a taste of what you call 'me' and you will succeed." John Sherman
