No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery – the source of truth.
BARRY 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 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 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 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.
