SESSIONS
The 3 Levels of Being: Physical, Psyche, Spirit
Length: 58 minutes
The talk outlines the structure of being as comprising the physical, psychic, and spiritual worlds, explaining that one cannot reach spirit through thought or emotion, but only through the elimination of impediments. Barry Long insists practical attention to the body and lived experience comes before any spiritual ideal. True freedom lies in recognising the divine necessity of physical existence.
My Body: The Divine Necessity of Existence
Length: 1 hours and 21 minutes
Barry Long guides listeners to move beyond habitual thought and emotional circuits by honouring the physical body as divine presence, advocating self-sacrifice and dissolution of self-consciousness.
Your Consciousness affects the Experiment
Length: 1 hours
Barry Long challenges prevailing beliefs in science and psychology, advocating instead for direct spiritual realisation through conscious observation and non-attachment. He reveals the emptiness of chasing external solutions, pointing to the inner journey as the only true experiment.
Questions: It’s the Dark that fears the Light
Length: 56 minutes
Barry Long explores the separation of consciousness from the body in moments of shock or near-death, reassuring that true consciousness remains fearless and undisturbed. He guides participants to relinquish attachment to the past and self, fostering fluidity and presence in life.
Life after Death: Everybody has a Place to go
Length: 1 hours
Barry Long explores the mystery of death, emphasising that no one truly knows what death is, yet stresses the value of perceiving reality through living experience rather than inherited beliefs.
Is there a personal God – or is it your own Being?
Length: 50 minutes
****The talk criticises religious institutions, particularly Christianity, for perpetuating suffering and misunderstanding God, insisting that divinity is impersonal, found as spirit within, and only accessible through the living master and personal transformation.
The Internet, mad Scientists & The Truth of Civilisation
Length: 1 hours and 8 minutes
Barry Long critiques modern civilisation’s obsession with memory, technology, and distraction, especially through the metaphor of the internet, asserting that true knowledge is found within and not in the accumulation of information.
No Film in the Camera: From Feeling to Knowledge
Length: 1 hours and 11 minutes
Barry Long emphasises that feelings, though seductive, are ultimately unreliable guides to truth, advocating that love and joy are states of knowledge rather than fleeting emotions.
The total Picture: Seeing through the Deception
Length: 1 hours and 3 minutes
Barry Long reflects on humanity’s entanglement with civilisation, science, and materialistic thinking, urging listeners to return to the immediacy and beauty of pure being by surrendering personal dependence and dissolving self.
Discussions are the End of Love
Length: 1 hours and 25 minutes
Barry Long dispels the myth that partnership thrives on discussions, insisting true relationship flourishes through direct acknowledgement of love, not positions nor opinion exchanges.
Self-Sacrifice: The Way to go home
Length: 1 hours and 29 minutes
Through anecdotes and diagrams, Barry Long depicts the human predicament as being trapped in cycles of thought and feeling, arguing for the necessity of self-surrender. True transformation, he asserts, is realised not by following external teachings but by dissolving the self in love for the invisible.
