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 LONGNothing 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 LONGThe 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 LONGBeauty 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 LONGLove is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
BARRY LONGYou 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 LONGYou think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.
BARRY LONGWE 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 LONGAnything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
BARRY LONGLove is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
BARRY LONGAny product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
BARRY LONGTruth 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 LONGNo religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
BARRY LONGAcknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
BARRY LONGFeelings 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 LONGThere is a notion that existence is an illusion. Existence is not an illusion. Existence is a projection from the inner through the brain producing the outer sensory world of what is – an amazing complete mystery.
BARRY LONGTo experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
