Giving up the past

Barry calls a participant to leave the past, receive love, and be honest now; he contrasts healing passion with corrupting emotion, points to the state without opposites, and insists on living as cause rather than chasing effects.

'While we can be touched, we shall be touched. Life will find a way of making us emotional.'

'You should never be without energy. You should never be sick, you should never be tired, and you should never be out of the state of love and bliss.'
