In the Garden of Love

‘What I’m endeavouring to do is bring a sense of vital, passionate life into love which has died on this planet to a large degree.'

The way to God in existence is love. Not abstract or ethereal love, but real love: man for woman and woman for man. For millennia this love has been relegated to second place, behind spiritual ideals, material progress, compromise, comfort and convenience. Neglected, the garden of love has remained bare of flowers. Man and woman’s love requires the ground of true love: the refusal to compromise with any unloving action. Barry Long helps you distinguish in your own experience between the worldly man or woman and the divine male or female. He examines romantic love and physical love, communicating the subtlety of perception and action necessary to bring profound love into existence. Once the depth and power of this love is appreciated it can be seen as the key to harmony behind all human activity. 'Where man and woman suffer most is in their relationships. I come to inspire them with the love of God and each other and help them not to put up with that which is not love, as they have been doing since time began.’ • Live meeting. Gold Coast, Australia. May, 2000.
