By the time I was thirteen years old,
I had read through all the metaphysical books
in the Pitt County, North Carolina, Library.
Because I had so many questions.
I wanted to know the truth, what life was about.
And so I continued to seek and search,
and had ups and downs, and ins and outs.
I had wonderful experiences, but there was always
this deep level of suffering.
I went to India, spent five weeks there.
I hauled all kinds of books back with me
from Ramana's ashram, and I read and I practiced,
and I practiced vichara, and I thought,
I'm so by myself with this. Isn't there someone else?
And I came up with John Sherman, and I read his story.
It was, Oh my gosh!
And so he suggested this very simple, easy method,
which I followed, and I found immediate fruit came from this.
That I was home, that this is where I needed to be,
right in me, right in that looking.
And so I began to look. This was in 2009.
It's amazing. It's helped me so very much.
And I recommend it to my friends all the time.
They've gone to his books, they've gone to his website.
Because, who in the heck wouldn't want to know who they are,
and have that direct experience?
And this is so simple, and so direct,
and it's available to everyone.
Thank you so much, John.
