SESSIONS
Woman is waiting to be loved
Length: 29 minutes
Woman waits as the earth; man must be man enough to love her. Cats and dogs symbolise impersonal and personal love; God is intimate goodness known now, not believed. Priestly fear and lust-as-thinking confuse children. Die to unhappiness; go through clouds and emotion to the Most High.
The sex guru is dead; the teacher of love begins
Length: 29 minutes
The decade turns: the sex guru is finished; a teacher of love speaks plainly to the Western mind, separating love from money, satisfaction from fulfilment, suiting from fitting, and the concept of spirit from “me”.
Place and position in the surge of the sea
Length: 29 minutes
From a high apartment over the Pacific, the teaching moves from garden to ocean, from local to global, and from position to place. The ocean sounds the unconscious; safety is found in place, not in positions that must be defended.
Between the sea and the earth
Length: 30 minutes
The talk moves from nature’s wonder to civilisation’s compromise, from success and suffering to the reclamation of love through the six senses, grounded in the body’s present good.
Logic before rationalisation
Length: 29 minutes
The way is practical: keep pleasure in the body, refuse mental excitement, and act only as the situation requires.
Don’t judge the situation: a Western mantra
Length: 29 minutes
A man in London writes of handling love’s pressure by being practical, not reactive. From there comes a working mantra—“Don’t judge the situation”—and a tour of where power leaks and how to stop it: fasting, silence, saying only what’s necessary, and ending decisions.
From feeling to knowing: the ascent of love
Length: 29 minutes
The talk traces a journey from feeling to knowing, sets experience above theory, honours woman as living art, distinguishes purusha from “Self”, and brings bliss down to the body’s stillness after love, where power is made by containment and deep dreamless sleep becomes conscious.
Nothing is as it seems: refraction of consciousness
Length: 30 minutes
The talk opens with physical refraction to show how consciousness is altered by existence into appearing as physical form, then turns to non-attachment in action and omission, the refusal to judge situations, and the stillness needed for the divine life and beyond.
Cosmic consciousness and going home
Length: 30 minutes
Humanity has abandoned being for minding, going outward towards it's demise; in epochal time the race readies to leave the planet while the spiritual way home is into the energetic Earth behind the sensory creation.
Enter the body: feel me before the brain
Length: 29 minutes
Enter the body by feeling me, start with the good or with sensation, and only then acknowledge disturbance.
Photonic age and the speed beyond light
Length: 30 minutes
Barry announces the photonic age as a revelation of cosmic consciousness moving faster than light, with UFOs appearing only when they slow into existence; current science and its structures cannot hold this.
Putting the head back on the body
Length: 29 minutes
A farewell from Tamborine Mountain: listen for the new, put the head back on the body, be thee, burn the dead emotions, and love by telling everything so that liftoff to uninterrupted cosmic consciousness is lived here and now.
