Talks from Tamborine Mountain 1986 - July

From a mountain veranda, Barry describes rising above 'Mount Misery' through surrender, distinguishing truth, facts, and emotional distortion while grounding perception in the beautiful earth.

'There are three ways of perceiving: the truth behind existence, the fact before you, and the emotion that perceives as things are not.'

'As man left the natural world, truth became superstition.'

'All love songs are based on sentiment, not love—sentiment being attachment to the past.'

'You have to actually make your world real as your environment. You have to make your own paradise.'
