Words are difficult to use to describe the Self. The only way to bridge the paradox is to see the self.......for yourself. Upon seeing this, all of the confusion about the apparent paradox dissolves. You will see that there is no need to fix or fret over what isn't even real. There is no need to stress over what is not even happening.
You will see what is 'real' with a little r, and you will see what is 'REAL' with a big R. Who you are -The Self- Is the REAL thing. Self is forever.
What annoys me about John Sherman is that he is always burning spiritual straw men - Setting up imaginary claims branding them spiritual, or Buddhist or Advaitist then then pissing on them with a self righteous superior insight. For instance he sais. The idea of grabbing ego by the throat is a sin, is heracy to Advaititsts or Buddhist and advanced spiritual teachings etc. this is total rubbish.
@davidpeterscqa Or HOW do you 'look at yourself'? In a way you can't because looking AT something is looking outward. Psychological INTROspection would still be looking out in a sense. So 'looking at yourself' is trying to become aware (more clearly and simply aware) of who (or what) it is that is looking. One result may be that you find that this 'I' is not somewhere (inside your body) looking out, but that everything is 'inside' this..this whatever-it-is, this precondition of every phenomenon.
he means to search the sense of "I" inside of you and keep looking at it, which is yourself. find inside yourself what is the most "you" you can find and stay with it.
John has an absolutely limitless reservoir of patience ... great guy

You have the rare privilege of being face to face with a self-realized man and you
interrupt him in the middle of his discourse to show some pretty pictures and listen
to some sentimental music. Of course, nobody is harmed by this absurdity but still...

I think you are right. Stories are rubbish. But ... that's not the point.
