5 Day Meeting, Colorado, 1994, EP2
This episode explores the nature of being and consciousness, contrasting human self-awareness with instinctive animal behavior. Barry notes that while humans are creative, this often leads to dissatisfaction through comparison and future-focused thinking. The key to reducing suffering, he says, is presence—accepting life as it is rather than dwelling on emotional pain. He criticizes society's obsession with material success and urges a return to a more embodied, instinctive way of living. Barry also emphasizes acting with intelligence and truth in relationships and daily life, suggesting the need for intelligent conversations and actions to resolve emotional issues and maintain love in relationships.
