Consciousness and the journey towards realizing the Spirit.

In this first session of the August 12, 1994 meeting in Winter Park, Colorado, Barry Long focuses on the spiritual journey of going deeper into one's body to transcend sensory perception. He emphasizes the intelligence within the body, contrasting it with the restless, sensory-driven mind. Meditation techniques of conscious breathing and focusing on bodily sensations are practiced to return the awareness to the present. The talk explores the distinction between the deeper “me” in the body and the personal self, stressing the need to reduce the self to experience true love and well-being. Barry encourages being true to the situation rather than reacting based on personal feelings. He also distinguishes between internal power and external force, advising focus on the solar plexus for a deeper connection to the state of being. The session ends with a reminder to practice these principles daily.

The talk challenges the mind’s reliance on external validation and intellectual concepts, urging a return to inner realization and direct experience.

He criticizes society's obsession with material success and urges a return to a more embodied, instinctive way of living. Barry also emphasizes acting with intelligence and truth in relationships and daily life, suggesting the need for intelligent conversations and actions to resolve emotional issues and maintain love in relationships.

An afternoon talk held at the Pan Pacific Hotel in Broadbeach.

In this deeply introspective session, Barry Long explores the nature of consciousness, self and true freedom. He challenges conventional spiritual teachings, asserting that love and truth arise from honesty and surrender—not from dependence on external masters or belief systems. The talk revolves around dismantling the illusion of the personal self, which is built on memory, pain, and emotional conditioning. Barry delves into reincarnation, cellular memory, and the vital body as vessels of consciousness that record and reflect human experience. The session emphasizes love, service, and the courage to let go of personal identity in order to realize a deeper intelligence—the "master consciousness"—that transcends form and continues beyond death. At its heart, this talk encourages direct, experiential knowing as the key to spiritual awakening.

In this culminating session of The Fundamental Teaching, Barry Long brings his message into sharp, transformative focus. With honesty, depth, and unflinching clarity, he speaks to the divine principles of man and woman—not as ideas, but as living realities within each of us. Barry dismantles the illusions of emotional love and sexual excitement, urging a return to real love: a love rooted in presence, honesty, and responsibility. He challenges both men and women to rediscover their true nature—man as the bearer of conscious love, woman as the embodiment of love itself—and to confront the emotional pain inherited from the past. This episode is a call to rise above cultural conditioning, to stop negotiating love, and to begin living it. If you’re ready to take love beyond fantasy, beyond attachment, and into truth, this session offers the way.
