To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
BARRY LONGTo experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
BARRY LONGWe 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 LONGYou can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.
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 LONGAll love – love of children, love of parents, love of God or life – comes out of making physical love. Without the making of love there is no body to love anything.
BARRY LONGAny product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.
BARRY LONGYou think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.
BARRY LONGWhen 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 LONGLove 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 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 LONGAcknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
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 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 LONGNo man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery – the source of truth.
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 LONGLove is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
