Being Human Podcast

John Sherman

For most of us, the fear of life arises at, or soon after, our birth. This causes the psychological mechanisms that constitute our mind to develop in an unconscious mental environment that is based on fear--the fear of life itself. This fear of life is a psychological autoimmune disease. In our podcast, we discuss how the fear of life arises, how it manifests in our life, and how it can be eliminated, opening the way to the development of a sane, fearless mind.

Being Human Podcast - Open House Meeting with John Sherman

07/11/14 • 30 min

"The purpose of moving attention away from an unpleasant sensation (and the thoughts about it) and focusing it on your breath is not to find a way to go into denial and relieve yourself of the unpleasantness of it. The appearance of that sensation--and the fact that attention has moved to it--is an opportunity for you to continue to develop the ability to decide consciously what you pay attention to." John Sherman Complete recording of an Open House Meeting with John Sherman broadcast live from Ojai, California on July 9, 2014. Length: 30 min File size: 13.8 MB

"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."

Being Human Podcast - Being Human Podcast Ep. 38: Meditation Helps Self-Inquiry
play

10/10/20 • 82 min

The meditation that I speak of is the very simple meditation practice that I received from the Buddhists, I think it is called Shamata meditation. And it is just a matter of watching your breath. You sit comfortably, close your eyes, and watch your breath as it comes in and out of your nostrils. What you are after is to get a one-pointed, attentive experience of this physical sensation.

In this episode, we discuss how your thoughts are yours to understand and to use, but they are not you. If you have negative thoughts about a present situation and there is something you can do to change it, you are free to follow those thoughts and use them to solve the problem. But if there is nothing you can do in the moment, it is safe to ignore those thoughts and put your attention on the sensation of the breath.

Being Human Podcast - Being Human Podcast Ep. 41: Mahasamadhi
play

05/31/21 • 62 min

A Meeting with John Sherman in Ojai, California on April 14, 2007. Ramana Maharshi was born in 1879 and when he died, on April 14, 1950, he was 71 years old. Ramana brought to us an incredible, simple insight. Many saw him as a saint, an ethereal being who somehow came down from heaven to transmit and bestow upon us the experience of silence, peace and the vastness of being. But, as far as I know, this is not the way Ramana saw himself.
