SESSIONS
The master within the man
Length: 2 hours and 48 minutes
Barry Long overturns the mind’s habit of problem-hunting, asking for acknowledgement of the good and action for the situation rather than self consideration.
All emotion is past, the present is clear
Length: 2 hours and 56 minutes
Through the mirror into me
Length: 2 hours and 55 minutes
Barry Long leads a practical crossing “through the mirror” into the intimate “me”, then shows how hell arises as restless, stored emotion; how “What about me?” signals descent; and how clean action, responsibility in love, and true mastery restore peace.
The ego as God’s burglar alarm
Length: 2 hours and 59 minutes
The talk leads from facing “myself” to entering the still, black nothing called being, where consciousness is prior to awareness and love is fulfilled rather than experienced.
Giving Life what Life wants
Length: 2 hours and 49 minutes
Barry Long on giving life what life wants — not through religion or belief, but through stillness, honesty, and the end of wanting. A practical talk on freedom, love, and living without unhappiness.
Me, not myself: the tenderest place
Length: 3 hours and 17 minutes
The talk distinguishes the untroubled “me” from the restless “self” and trains attention to look into the inner black—nothing that never moves—so intelligence becomes one-pointed and free of commentary.
Woman must be loved, not sexed
Length: 2 hours and 45 minutes
The talk puts God first, exposes sex without love as the only devil, and shows how entering the silent “me” ends the thinker and restores love to its purpose between man and woman.
You are a cell in the body of humanity
Length: 2 hours and 49 minutes
Barry Long presents humanity as one great body in which each person is a cell becoming self-luminous through the surrender to intelligence and living in the senses without being driven by the self’s knot of pain.
Returning to innocence as the years deepen
Length: 2 hours and 50 minutes
Age is for becoming simple again—empty of self, free of moods, able to say “I love you,” and at rest in being nothing.
Ego as armour: protecting the wrong thing
Length: 2 hours and 48 minutes
The ego should guard the body; instead it guards pain. Intelligence can turn inward to “me”, where nothing arises and peace is known, and from that stillness life is lived rightly.
Stand where you are: your circumstances are your life
Length: 2 hours and 46 minutes
Your circumstances are your life. Take every practical step you can, then pause. In the pause, rest—this is the inner seventh day. Thought is the only problem; stillness is the cure.
Lighting the potential: beauty, love, service
Length: 3 hours and 3 minutes
Existence has circumstances that end, but purpose has no end. Life’s events—beauty, service, love—ignite the inborn potential. The work is to turn intelligence inward, be still, and let thought fall away so presence can be realised.
Everything happens in the human brain
Length: 2 hours and 55 minutes
The talk grounds everything in the human brain, redefines God as the brain’s intelligence—so present it is “nothing”—and directs the listener to a still inner “me” beneath the agitated “self”. Freedom begins by accepting life as it is, then acting from that stillness.
Sensation, not feeling
Length: 2 hours and 55 minutes
Suffering is caused by thought and allegiance to feeling; events only require right action, which needs looking, not thinking.
Open the bamboo cage: freeing the prisoners within
Length: 2 hours and 38 minutes
The talk exposes past resentments as “prisoners” that block a living psychic flow, contrasts mental entertainment with vital being, and teaches a return to me—the vertical place of nothing—through honesty, stillness, and giving up positions.
Reconstitution of cells, not reincarnation
Length: 2 hours and 47 minutes
The talk opens the “angelic realm” as a present inner state of absence—no persons, no thought—contrasting it with the public’s addiction to feelings and the media’s spectacle of self.
I’m doing well: three little words
Length: 2 hours and 30 minutes
Barry introduces three liberating words—“I’m doing well”—as a present-moment antidote to the mind’s negativity, then builds a practical way of life from being rather than thinking.
Simplicity of God and the burden of self
Length: 2 hours and 20 minutes
God is simple; the complication is emotion. Look down from union, not up through opinions. Love by giving up yourself, act when you can, and when you can’t, surrender without anxious caring.
Nothing arising: the rarest state on Earth
Length: 2 hours and 43 minutes
Barry Long invites immediate entry into being—stillness without object—by dropping emotions so the mind can go quiet. From this ground, consciousness (within) and awareness (without) are one, and life can be lived factually rather than emotionally.
Purpose has no object, only subject
Length: 2 hours and 43 minutes
Purpose is not an object to attain but the living subject giving up negativity now; goals take time, purpose takes no time.
Only the body is real now
Length: 2 hours and 45 minutes
Only now is real, and only the body is now. Thought and emotion are interpretations that remove us from being; sensation is the body’s truth. To live spiritually is to be the body here, without feeling or self-judgement.
Purpose in love, partnership, and aloneness
Length: 2 hours and 35 minutes
Barry exposes purposelessness in love, partnership, and aloneness, and insists that real purpose is stillness—being now—while love between man and woman becomes purification and depth without losing intelligent attention.
