The Psychic Double
'The psychic double is the guardian of the threshold... The guardian of the threshold is the other face of the psychic double, and it is the guardian of the knowledge that I have just described, that there is no death. It is the guardian of the knowledge, the supreme knowledge, that there is only God being everything, the highest spiritual knowledge.'
'The guardian of the threshold's job is to keep you back until you can face that guardian, who is fear, who creates fear, who creates panic, who creates anger, all these things that this man has complained of, extraordinary anger, panic, fear.'
'The spiritual life is uniting more with your psychic reality. And as you do that, you give up your fear, your anger, you surrender to God or the spirit. You say, 'I will not fear for God or life is in charge. And I surrender to that.''
'And of course, the panicking goes out of you, the fear goes out of you, and you gradually start to pass through the guardian, which means to pass over the threshold. And what is it, the threshold? It's the threshold to your own psychic double.'
'But when you give up fear, you become transparent. When you give up doubt, you become transparent.'
'In there is your psychic being, which is your double, and really your physical body is a reproduction of your psychic double.'
'You have a psychic being that's beyond the psychic being that you thought was your psychic being, because it's all God, you see, and we are all God.'
'Your love of God becomes the love of your own psychic being. And when you are in your psychic being, you still love, you still love this glorious light, this wonder, this wonder, which is only you.'
'You create a bridge through gratitude, don't you, and so more love flows to you, and you have a bridge to the psychic beauty which you are.'

****The talk criticises religious institutions, particularly Christianity, for perpetuating suffering and misunderstanding God, insisting that divinity is impersonal, found as spirit within, and only accessible through the living master and personal transformation.

Is there a personal God – or is it your own Being?
Length: 50 minutes
Barry Long explores the question of a personal God, pointing beyond religious images and beliefs to your own deeper being. He describes how gratitude forms a bridge to the beauty of the pure psyche, bringing innocence and a growing surrender of the self. Prayer becomes a giving rather than an asking. Through acknowledging the good and loving what is greater than the person, he points to the enduring reality of God within—not a belief, but a truth to be lived.
