The Quest of the Noble Man
The ancient legend is brought to life as Barry Long calls on man to take responsibility for his deepest purpose and slay the dragon, his selfish self, now let rampant in the world. This is the true chivalry by which man can begin to free his love - woman. Only by this means can he become the noble man and find his true authority in the love of woman.

SUMMARY
Barry Long re-interprets the myth of Beauty and the Beast, revealing it as a profound allegory for man's fall from innocence into willfulness and sexual self-centredness, which created the 'beast' within.
He traces humanity's journey from innocent instinct to reflective consciousness, marking the entry of the 'beast' through man's loss of devotion to woman and love, replaced by self-will and sexual gratification.
The talk urges men to reclaim their nobility by facing and purifying their sexuality, offering hope for restoring love in the world.
Redemption, Barry asserts, demands conscious confrontation with the sexual 'beast' and reclamation of stillness, nobility, and purpose.
