Barry Long quotes about
views facts looks
We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin g.
men discovery self
No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery - the source of truth.
thinking consciousness awareness
You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.
facts consciousness conscious
You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.
effort waiting preparation
You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less - waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.
spiritual frustration levels
You can't realise love or yourself until you are still enough to drop down through the restlessness and frustrations into that deeper level of your being
truth agreement doe
Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself 'Is the statement true or false in my experience?.
mind robots problem
Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God.
men breathing desire
WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself.
time reality forever
There is only one thing in your life YOU can be sure of. That one thing is this moment, now. The last moment has gone forever. The next moment has not come. YOU can become fully conscious only when you are living in the moment. To begin to live in the moment you have to know it exists and understand it. To understand it you have to observe it in relation to yourself and in relation to life. When you understand it, when you become conscious, you will see it is all that exists. To see this is to glimpse reality.
knows
No religion knows the truth. Only he or she who lives it knows.
energy higher no-energy
All is energy and there is no energy higher than right love, which has no object
brain world mystery
There is a notion that existence is an illusion. Existence is not an illusion. Existence is a projection from the inner through the brain producing the outer sensory world of what is - an amazing complete mystery.
truth way observation
The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.
