All is energy and there is no energy higher than right love, which has no object.
Barry LongBarry Long Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God.
Barry LongBarry Long You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.
Barry LongBarry Long You can’t realise love or yourself until you are still enough to drop down through the restlessness and frustrations into that deeper level of your being
Barry LongBarry Long Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself ‘Is the statement true or false in my experience?’
Barry LongBarry Long The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.
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 We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin.
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 Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
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.
