SUMMARY
'Unless you know yourself, you cannot find peace in this existence. There is no other way.'
'If you do not acknowledge something, it dies.'
'Everything that ever was – is now – in these bodies, stored in these bodies. All the hate of man is potential in everybody.'
'To become intelligent is to know myself – it is not to run from violence in myself, not to excuse it, not to say, "Oh, I did it because of so and so." That is complete unintelligence and absolutely false...'
Barry Long invites you to leave behind the turgid crawl of humanity - progress and pain - and take a giant leap which very few dare.
He shows you how the experience of living is continuously informing you of your own nature. And how this eventually empties you of your evolutionary past so that all that is left is the intelligence of life itself. This is the process of you becoming what you are, and the amazing journey by which life comes to know itself.
