Belief and religion
'Everyone here is endeavouring to return to what is natural. And usually we select some religious path, some religious way. And that, unfortunately, is the cause of why everybody is not enlightened. Is because of religion and beliefs, beliefs in Buddha, beliefs in Jesus, beliefs in the Quran, beliefs in Barry Long – belief in anything. That's why what is natural is so rare on this earth for human beings, which means unhappy beings.'
'There's no truth in the past whatever. But it is normal to think that there's truth in the past. So all human beings worship the past, or are fixated on the past, and that's all right, because being human, there are different strata of intelligence, or what would be called consciousness of being human.'
'The forces of belief and the priests, they're all working against this extraordinary potential that we have for being free of worry, free of mourning, free of the burden.'
