Nothing arising: the rarest state on Earth
Barry Long invites immediate entry into being—stillness without object—by dropping emotions so the mind can go quiet. From this ground, consciousness (within) and awareness (without) are one, and life can be lived factually rather than emotionally.
“The rarest state on Earth is to be.”
“There is no object to being; it is the stillness and the silence behind the activity of the body and the mind.”
“To mourn is human ignorance.”
“Feelings are the cause of everybody’s unhappiness.”
“Don’t judge the situation—be true to the situation.”
