Barry Long quotes about
accept cannot judge
The judge cannot be the judged, and even to accept is to judge.
beyond love mind
Love is beyond the mind because it is always new.
beyond love scholars-and-scholarship
Love is beyond description; but not beyond demonstrating.
discover either knowingly means practicing ready
You are either ready to discover yourself or you are not. Ready means you have been knowingly or unknowingly practicing self-observation.
discovered moment truth
Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment.
beyond climb imagination interested ladder might reason top upset whatever
To go beyond reason we have to climb up the ladder of reason and go to the top of it. This will not upset reason as it is interested only in assembling the facts, whatever they might be. Reason is an ever-loyal tool; imagination an ever-failing fool.
way alive acknowledgement
Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.
thinking mind robots
When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.
littles wanting-more energy
Pornography is just 'fast-food feminine energy', it will always leave you wanting more, with little or no nutritional value. There is nothing ful-filling about pornography, it pales in insignificance to a fully embodied loving woman.
life believe teaching
I suppose the most radical part of my teaching at present is that love is not a feeling. Everybody suffers from love, or the fear of it, or the lack of it. Why? Why is love so universally and inevitably heart-breaking, whether it be through the end of a love affair, the death of a loved one or being locked in with the habitual casualness or grim indifference of a partner? The answer is because we've been taught and conditioned by the world to believe that love is a feeling.
life independent love-is
Love is a power, a mighty principle that exists in its own right independent of any individual. Man changes, but the principle of love does not and cannot. Love does not leave men and women. Men and women leave love.
truth mind littles
It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.
discovery self mind
Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
life beautiful long
Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.
