Love is beyond description; but not beyond demonstrating. Love is beyond the mind because it is always new. Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old. So the mind is a modifier, a reactor; a renovator, but it cannot create the new.

To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
Barry LongBarry Long You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.
Barry LongBarry Long You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.
Barry LongBarry Long Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
Barry LongBarry Long Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.

Barry LongBarry Long You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.
Barry LongBarry Long The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.
Barry LongBarry Long Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.

Barry LongBarry Long Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.
Barry LongBarry Long Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
Barry LongBarry Long Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
Barry LongBarry Long Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
Barry LongBarry Long WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself.
Barry LongBarry Long No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
