SESSIONS
Necessary – Vital – Essential: Aligning my Self with Me
Length: 1 hours and 35 minutes
The true spiritual life is not about personal development but aligning with the still, vital being within. Suffering arises from identification with the emotional self and attachment to the past. Stillness, not action or thinking, is the path to freedom, love, and intelligent living.
Fallen Angels: The Way back out of Matter
Length: 1 hours and 17 minutes
Freedom from suffering begins with giving up blame, judgment, and emotional attachment – and when one lives from inner stillness and intelligence rather than thought or inherited patterns. Real love is impersonal and free of self, known through presence, not emotion or memory.
The Spider’s Web of the Mind & The Hole of Nothing
Length: 1 hours
The mind is like a spider’s web, constantly repairing itself to avoid stillness. True reality is glimpsed through holes in that web, such as those opened by grief or loss. Barry urges stillness to meet life and death without fear or emotional reactivity. Living intelligently, without attachment or blame, aligns us with love and the divine essence within.
Pure of Heart: Containing Love & Cleaning out the Vessel
Length: 56 minutes
Barry Long states that all emotions are negative and distinguishes love as a state of knowledge or sensation, not an emotion. He urges listeners to act on the truth of situations rather than personal feelings, which are inherently selfish and unreliable. Barry describes a “pure heart” as one free from emotions such as resentment and self-judgement. 'Love is not a feeling' is one of the main points in Barry's teaching and this session provides a comprehensive understanding of this teaching point.
Opening up to the Broadness of the cosmic Reality
Length: 1 hours and 8 minutes
True spiritual life begins by living fully in the physical body and present moment, free of emotion and mental interpretation. Barry warns against relying on psychic experiences and urges surrender to inner stillness and impersonal intelligence. In relationships and life choices, he emphasizes honesty, self-responsibility, and the purification of emotional attachment.
