SESSIONS
I am within you: Standing the Stillness of your own Being
Length: 1 hours and 22 minutes
Barry Long guides listeners toward the realisation of their being, emphasising a life founded in stillness, not the restless self and its attachments. He distinguishes the source of true love and intelligence from the fleeting emotional self, urging a return to the body’s sensational reality.
The Myth of Paradise: How Man in his free Will degraded Love
Length: 58 minutes
Barry Long reflects on the spiritual consequences of humanity’s choices, blaming societal corruption and suffering on man’s abandonment of love for a self-serving and mind-driven existence. He stresses that God, as creator, sustains the world but does not interfere, offering individuals the possibility of returning to original purity when they've had enough of the self-imposed suffering.
Back to Innocence: Breaking the vicious Circle of human Love
Length: 1 hours and 33 minutes
Barry Long explores the difference between human love, which is possessive and rooted in emotional attachment, and real love, which is pure, impersonal, and free from selfishness. He guides the audience to recognise and transcend the cycle of possessiveness and suffering, advocating conscious awareness and innocence as the path to divine love.
The sleeping Giant: The great Ignorance of the religious Idea
Length: 1 hours and 13 minutes
Barry Long describes ‘the sleeping giant’ in the psyche: the accumulation of collective religious and personal ideas. He teaches that only through letting go of these forms—be they anger, memory, or doctrine—can one access peace and the knowledge of immortality.
Truth first: Honesty as the foundation of true Partnership
Length: 1 hours and 8 minutes
Barry Long emphasises the primacy of truth or God before personal attachment in relationships, teaching that honesty is the foundation of real love and freedom.
Feelings: Interpretations of the Present through the Past
Length: 54 minutes
Barry Long asserts that love is not a feeling, emphasising the falsehood of all feelings as interpretations rooted in past emotional experience. He challenges listeners to perceive reality directly, bypassing the habitual self and its reliance on emotion. By living in knowledge and immediate sensation, one can love truly, undistorted by the distortions of memory or fear.
The Practice of Surrender: Giving up Thoughts and Attachments
Length: 1 hours and 28 minutes
Barry Long emphasises the necessity of dissolving the self, warning that habitual thought, emotional attachment, and familiarity in relationships undermine true being and love. He encourages practical surrender and presence in the senses as the path to harmony.
