Aphorisms - Teaching

To the insane, I teach sanity,

to the sane, I teach insanity,

to those between, I teach self-knowledge,

to the wise, I re–affirm the Blessed Truth they know.

~

I am an agent of the Black Light sometimes called the Black Sun.

~

Justice is complete and perfect. It is impossible for anyone who is ready not to be provided with a teacher.


~

My teaching is truth corrupted into method and system.

~

My whole teaching is an aid. If you don't need it don't do it. But if you are not free you need it.

~

I'm going to push back your frontiers by pulling you together and making you more whole. To the degree you allow this to be done, the world will stand back from you and you can look at it with wisdom.

My Art
 - Any artistry in my work will perish with the book and the brain. Or be repeated by mediocre minds.
 The art of my work is in the single act of loving and knowing by he or she who reads without remembering or attributing.
 Barry Long is expendable.

My Craft - My craft is materialising – that is putting into logical form the truth as you vaguely know, suspect or imagine but can seldom utter or express without losing the thread of truth which convinces by confirming.

~

The man has to disappear, die, and make way for the message. Then he is a teacher.

~

Eventually you are in the world but not of it, eternally peaceful, eternally untouchable. This realisation is the mystic death.

~

Every worthwhile teaching has as its basis the annihilation of the seeker.

Don't try to tell another the truth. Wait till they ask. That's your protection. When a person asks, they will listen.

~

Do not teach anything outside your own experience.

~

In this work you can give only as much as you know.

~

It is not the object to free the masses, so the masses do not need a teacher. Any teaching the masses follow is corrupt.


~

The lesser the truth the greater the following.

~

I shall never be without a conscious vehicle. I shall always find a body to do my work.

~

I cannot bare the truth until I can bear the truth.

~

When you are true to yourself the problems in your life start to vanish.

The master knows himself by declaring himself.
 A man who doesn't declare himself doesn't know himself.

I have contained the madness in this body – that's why I am the master of the madness.

You can only finally be honest, true and uncompromising with yourself.

~

The truth as I know it will benefit you in every aspect of your life. Every aspect. If you have to have money, it will be provided; if you have to starve, that will be provided and that will be okay too.

~

I am always here to puncture everything that you believe in.

~

No matter what you think you'll never be the same again, I put pause into you, I interrupt the momentum of your brain.

To be ordinary is to be able to know and live the truth as
 you see it while knowing and living with people in the world who don't.
