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.
Barry LongBarry Long Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.
Barry LongBarry Long Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
Barry LongBarry Long Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
Barry LongBarry 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.
Barry LongBarry 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 LongBarry Long No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
Barry LongBarry Long All 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 LongBarry 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 LongBarry 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 LongBarry Long When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
Barry LongBarry Long Love 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.
