Science
'What I'm going to say flies in the very teeth of established science, biology, pathology and all the rest of the ologies. I'm telling you this because… we have become besotted by the scientific mind's interpretations of what is supposed to be truth… The truth of matter can never be found in matter.'
'Scientists can see what they call pulses… But that's because they can only see a part of the universe. They can't see the whole.'
'...science is never allowed to mention love or truth, because they can't find anything. They cannot find love and they cannot find truth. So they've forbidden words. They can only come up with theories.'
'…no university has ever taught love or truth… because they did that would be the end of universities… it would be the end of science as we know it. Science would then be directed towards discovering what it is that makes man and woman unhappy…'

Beyond Imagination: Living from Stillness Not Thought
Length: 1 hours and 7 minutes
David Bohm & Barry Long - Part 2
Length: 1 hours and 59 minutes
For the second time in December 1983, physicist David Bohm visits Barry Long again, with the aim of deepening his scientific inquiry into the nature of time. Bohm approaches the mystery of existence through science, while Barry speaks from the direct realisation of consciousness itself. What unfolds is an intimate, searching dialogue, in which Bohm’s precise questioning meets Barry’s uncompromising clarity about death, the present, and the truth of self-knowledge. It is a meeting between two exceptional intellects – one reaching through science toward the source, the other already speaking from it.
Beyond the Highs and Lows: The Equilibrium of the Mystical Life
Length: 1 hours and 20 minutes
David Bohm & Barry Long - Part 1
Length: 2 hours and 18 minutes
Barry Long and David Bohm explore the distinction between time, the past, and the eternal present, contrasting scientific concepts with spiritual consciousness. They explore whether scientific inquiry alone can uncover truth or whether turning inward, to realise the source of intelligence behind the rational scientific mind, is essential.
