SUMMARY
Barry Long guides listeners to dissolve suffering by refraining from circular thought, insisting pain is real but suffering is self-made through mental indulgence.
Barry contrasts humanity's self-inflicted mental suffering with the eternal, peaceful being within, urging listeners to recognise themselves as impersonal cells in a vast cosmic body.
By immersing oneself in sensory awareness and ceasing to think about problems, Barry describes, what the world would call, the 'alien' being within—an unshakeable, silent intelligence which dissolves the fear of death.
