Involution – Back to the Source
(3 Day Meeting - February 2002)

'Love is the light, intelligence is the light that passes all understanding and description.'

'The final intelligence is to acknowledge the bounty, the wonder of what I have, and to be grateful for it – to the invisible source of it all.'

In these meetings, Barry speaks of the love, light and intelligence behind the appearance of things in daily living. Starting with a model of involution and evolution, the inner and the outer, Barry goes on to emphasise the importance of gratitude in order to get your life right, and the practice of this every moment. He explains how gratitude to the source every moment stills the mind, and brings about freedom from unhappiness and heaven on earth.

THE KEY TO LIFE
A six part video series

A series of videos, previously unpublished, recorded at a three-day meeting on the Gold Coast in May 2001.

'I am not trapped in the body. I am part of life. I have a body that dies but that doesn't bother my knowledge. My knowledge is that I am life. And it is a joy to be life.'

The six videos in this series are now ready for you to download here.

THE BARRY LONG BULLETIN
An online blog

Updated weekly and steadily growing into a comprehensive collection of inspirational texts drawn from Barry Long's writings and talks over thirty-five years. The entire archive of the Bulletin is online and can be read piecemeal as new items appear, or as a virtual book to refer to over and over.

In the 1990s, in the early days of desktop printing, a similar collection was printed and circulated as Barry Long's Journal. The Bulletin is the internet journal for today. It is free to read.

If you are new to Barry Long's teachings, The Bulletin is a sampler for you. And if you want more, you'll find that many of the texts are taken from books or recordings we have in our Store.

The Bulletin is hosted on the Tumblr blog site, but you don't have to join the platform to access it. Read it here.

TALKS FROM TAMBORINE MOUNTAIN
Now serialised as mp3 downloads

These 'Talks from Tamborine Mountain' were originally distributed to the group he had been teaching in the UK before he moved back to Australia - the idea being to stay in contact with them. Later, as Barry Long took his teaching worldwide, the tapes went to many more listeners, becoming a highly valued means of staying in touch with him and his latest reflections of truth.

"This is an actuality broadcast. You are going to hear everything that happens. You are going to be with me as much as it is possible to be here."

SCENES FROM AN ENLIGHTENED LIFE

A film telling the story of Barry Long's spiritual realisations
in his own words,
using a montage of archive photographs and filmed interviews.

Release date on Vimeo.com: 5 April 2014.
Running time: 45 minutes

Barry Long was born dead. Then he breathed and for 32 years made a go of existence - until he really came to life by learning to love. He spent the next 45 years teaching others how to discover the truth of life, love and death for themselves. Towards the end of his days he looked back on the often painful process that ultimately led to an entirely untroubled, enlightened life.

The story is inspiring and challenges common preconceptions about enlightenment, what it means and how it comes about.

The film includes previously unseen footage of Barry as he examines his realisations, speaks about the power of his love for woman, for God and truth, and reveals in simple words and ordinary ways both his genius and his humanity.

This is a visual counterpart to Barry's posthumous autobiography.
