Recording 01 of 11
Barry Long presents the three levels of being: physical, psychic, and spiritual, drawing attention to the importance of the physical body. The psychic world is a spiral coil of human thoughts, emotions, and desires, which cannot cross into the spiritual realm. Barry stresses the need for self-sacrifice and the elimination of psychic impediments to realise more of the spirit.

SUMMARY
'It is a rare thing to be with the spiritual, realised spiritual consciousness of the master. Your consciousness rises to share in the master’s consciousness, which is not really his consciousness, it’s the consciousness of spirit.'
'Physical world, psychic world, and the third world is the spiritual realm… There is a line between the physical and a line after between the psychic and the spiritual world.'
'It is the elimination of the impediments in us that keep us from realising that spiritual realm, that’s all.'
'You have not yet realised how psychic you are, how you dismiss the physical, how you are not up rightly with the physical.'
'No idea of the Spirit is true. All I have to do is get rid of the impediments and the Spirit then is… You have traversed the psyche. You are home.'
'No religion is going to do it for you. For religion has images, no practice is going to get you there, except the practice of living the spiritual life.'
