Welcome my student friends. This is the site for some serious thought. It is also a spiritual place. My book is available from the sitemap on the left, click Dan Sherman and scroll down. or you can use one of the links. it is a spiritual adventure, but it is also an enigma. It is simple and it is complicated. You can believe, or you can scoff, but you can never disprove.
I am not Buddhist, nor is Dan Sherman, but it lends itself so well to the whole idea of reincarnation.
Please meditate on these truths below. They cannot be proved wrong, but they can be proved right.
Onward, my friends, to the Dan Sherman adventures.

No high state, no insight, no far-out enlightenment experience is sufficient. Sustained transformation requires a life of sustained practice—waking up every day and bringing as much awareness and care and presence to every moment of living in order to have the capacity to do that more fully in the next moment and the moment after that. It’s a lifestyle choice. —Terry Patten, Enlighten Next
Do not think that this nirvana is an empty or void state. There is this consciousness, without a distinguishing mark, infinite and shining everywhere; it is untouched by the material elements and not subject to any power. —Buddha, Brahmanamantanika Sutta
I took a walk. Suddenly I stood still, filled with the realization that I had no body or mind. All I could see was one great illuminating whole—omnipresent, perfect, lucid, and serene. It was like an all-embracing mirror from which the mountains and rivers of the earth were projected…I felt clear and transparent.
—Zen master Han-sham, 16th century.
You are an eternal traveler. From time immemorial, you have been marching toward the fullest realization of your soul—your core being, the center of consciousness. This consciousness is greater than all the objects, thoughts, and ideas you can ever accumulate and conjure. —Swami Rama.
There are no thoughts and there is no sense of time. If you are thinking, you are not in meditation. If you are aware of yourself, you are also not in meditation. You must become like a baby in the womb, there and yet not there. Meditation is like the borderline between sleep and waking, between consciousness and unconsciousness. —Kosta, The Magus of Java
You go deep into yourself, because you are the answer to your questions. You, yourself are the answer. You will find every answer comes from inside, which is a universal, bottomless sea, which is what you are. Deep practice of meditation is necessary. Place yourself in the context of that which is between you and that which you see—between that which you are and that which you think in your mind. Let that thing which is between you and the object transfer you to that middle position. Can you transfer your consciousness? Put it there. —Swami Krishnananda. The Problems of Spiritual Life.
Once the call of the True Self is heard not only with the heart but also with the mind and conscience there will be no way back to the way things have been. Sooner or later we will recognize that we no longer have any choice but to allow ourselves the extraordinary freedom to go all the way in this life. Because after all, if we have begun to see through the illusory world that the ego creates and have heard the call of the True Self to live our lives for a greater purpose—what else is there to do? —Andrew Cohen, Living Enlightenment.

Close your eyes and you will see clearly.
Cease to listen and you will hear Truth.
Be silent and your heart will sing.
Seek no contacts and you will find union.
Be still and you will move forward on the tide of the spirit.
Be gentle and you will need no strength.
Be patient and you will achieve all things.
Be humble and you will remain entire. Taoist meditation, date unknown.
What we call ‘I’ is just a swinging door which moves when we inhale and when we exhale; it just moves, that is all. When your mind is pure and calm enough to follow this movement, there is nothing; no world, no mind nor body; just a swinging door. —Pema Chodron.
Although there are many points of divergent emphasis between Hindu and the Buddhist traditions, particularly in their later developments, their differences on essential doctrines have sometimes been exaggerated. For the Buddha, just as in the Upanishads, “Self is the lord of the self” (Dhammapada 160). He advised his disciples to “take refuge in the Self” as he himself had done (Samyutta-Nikaya 111.143). In Buddhism, as in Hinduism, ignorance is the root of all evil and suffering. In Hinduism the ignorance is of who we are; in Buddhism of who we are not. —Ravi Ravindra, Pilgrim Without Boundaries
Firmly anchor the mind in the non-existence of an independent entity. The entire manifestation is the functioning of consciousness in which each one of us has one’s allotted role to play. Accept whatever happens within that total functioning with a sense of wondrous admiration. —Ramesh S. Balsekar.
All spiritual traditions thus diagnose the human condition: we are asleep and our life, our ambitions, our fears, and our activities are governed by vast forces outside our will or control. With instruction, grace, and effort, we can wake up, see our situation as it is, and begin to listen to our inner voice.
—Ravi Ravindra, Pilgrim Without Boundaries
As you rest in the Witness—realizing, I am not objects, I am not feelings, I am not thoughts—all you will notice is a sense of Freedom, a sense of Liberation, a sense of Release—release from the terrible constriction of identifying with these little finite objects, the little body and little mind and little ego, all of which are objects that can be seen, and thus are not the true Seer, the real Self, the pure Witness, which is what you really are. —Ken Wilber, One Taste
The purpose of all scriptural knowledge is to liberate the aspirant from the snares of Maya. Knowledge and meditation is the key. Knowledge without vairagya, non-attachment, is of little use in attaining the highest state. The aspirant should gradually tread the path of controlling senses. Then, making the mind one-, meditation leads the student to the threshold of Samadhi. —Swami Rama, Life Here and Hereafter
