Quote

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.

Image
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
Image
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 Long
Image
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 Long
Image
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
Image
You can't realise love or yourself until you are still enough to drop down through the restlessness and frustrations into that deeper level of your being
Barry Long
Image
Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.

Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.

Image
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.

Image
To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.
Barry Long
Image
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
Image
We 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 Long
Image
There 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 Long
Image
Beauty 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 Long
Image
Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.
Barry Long
Image
When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
Barry Long
Image
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.

The more you observe life in relation to yourself the more you will see the fact that you are hardly ever correct when you think about something in the future. The future exists only in imagination and that is why, no matter how hard you try to imagine it, you will not be able to predict the future with total certainty.

Image
Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.
Barry Long
Image
You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.

Image
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.
