SESSIONS
The return to the inner life
Length: 2 hours and 4 minutes
Barry Long opens by describing the outer world as an ever-maddening storm of information, travel, noise and restless communication, and sets against it an inward life that is silent, contented and real.
Begin with the body and go within
Length: 1 hours and 59 minutes
Barry lays out a practical inner map beginning with the body and moving through senses, subconscious, pure psyche and spirit, insisting that love, truth, life, God and death are not found outside but only by an intelligent descent within.
Stay in the vertical and let go
Length: 2 hours and 5 minutes
Barry urges the listener to remain in the vertical: in the body, in the present, and in factual action rather than in thought about the past or future. Suffering begins when the mind puts the cross of time upon itself and mistakes its own interpretations for truth.
Enlightenment is the absence of becoming
Length: 2 hours and 3 minutes
The impersonal life
Length: 1 hours and 58 minutes
Barry presents the human being as a cell in the greater body of mankind, infused with both enlightenment and darkness, and calls to reduce the selfish person so that impersonal truth may live more freely.
The one intelligence looking through all eyes
Length: 2 hours and 5 minutes
Running through the talk is a vast claim: one intelligence looks out through all beings, and beneath all suffering there remains a well-being that has no opposite.
Get your life right before peace is lost
Length: 1 hours and 59 minutes
Barry speaks about getting life right by refusing bitterness, dropping judgment, and facing the disturbances in one’s relationships and circumstances that keep the mind from settling into the still inner place.
Irritation reveals the wound beneath the story
Length: 1 hours and 50 minutes
The talk begins by refusing the split between spiritual truth and everyday circumstance. Irritation, family conflict, jealousy, addiction, grief, and emotional confusion are treated not as distractions from truth but as the very places where truth must be faced.
The robot body and the hidden creator
Length: 1 hours and 52 minutes
Barry speaks from what he calls the great intelligence within, describing human beings as marvellous robotic bodies that have turned away from their original psychic connectedness and become trapped in mentality, separation, fear, and selfishness. He urges surrender to the Divine Will, acceptance of one’s life as it is, and a return to the living source within. He also applies this teaching directly to relationship, mood, sexuality, thought, death, and daily action.
