-
Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
BARRY LONG -
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.
BARRY LONG -
All is energy and there is no energy higher than right love, which has no object.
BARRY LONG -
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 -
Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
BARRY LONG -
It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.
BARRY LONG -
When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self.
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 -
To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
BARRY 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 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 -
Pornography is just ‘fast-food feminine energy’, it will always leave you wanting more, with little or no nutritional value. There is nothing ful-filling about pornography, it pales in insignificance to a fully embodied loving woman.
BARRY LONG -
Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
BARRY 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.
