Karma
'Karma – the best word for it is past – the past responsibilities that have been overlooked or avoided. That's what karma is.'
'Each of us is born with a curled up spring, a coiled up spring, which makes us drive into the world. That's our karma.'
'…everything that happens to us is by the great law of karma…'
'…we have to endeavor not to complain or accuse others, because everyone that makes us suffer is an instrument of our karma.'
'That's what karma is – the past, repeating itself – that next time, the next minute, in next circumstance... and when it comes around if I don't put love first, then it comes again in a different situation, completely and utterly unidentifiable with the last situation, and it tricks me again...'
'Everything repeats itself in karma, everything that hasn't been faced and seen.'

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.
The One Who Spoils Love
Length: 1 hours and 24 minutes
To experience truth directly one must be fully present and surrender the thinking mind. Real love is selfless, vigilant, and free of emotional reactions or attachment. Aligning with the Divine Will means embracing the present moment, taking responsibility for oneself, and acknowledging beauty and truth in everyday life.

The Dilemmas of the Spiritual Life
Length: 59 minutes
In this talk, Barry Long frames “the three-pronged dilemma of the divine life” as: **Karma** pushing you (the past repeating itself in the present) – “**Do what you do**” in life while also being surrendered to God – and you must **take responsibility** for “your” life, but it isn’t actually “your” life (it’s consciousness living the life, while the body is the doer).
