Drawing the Line
Barry Long examines where we commonly compromise with ourselves and encourages us to draw the line and remain in the uninterrupted harmony of being that comes from dying to our own selfishness.
'How do you think I became the spiritual intelligence I am? By the grace of God which entered me. But I had to live it all the time. I couldn't take a holiday or a break away from it. I had to die for it day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. You're not going to get anywhere until you die and die and die to your self and your selfishness. You think you can retain some of your self and silly notions of what love is, what truth is and what God is? No you cannot. It all has to go into the fire of love or surrender.'
Drawing the Line

By assigning spirituality to religion, the spiritual path or some other structure, we overlook life. Barry Long continuously exposes and breaks these structures in order that the spiritual life is lived totally. He has devoted his life to eliminating the cause of pain and suffering, first in himself, and now in others. Consequently he is passionately irreverent towards everything that obscures the truth, be it religion, sex or concepts made of his own teaching.
In this video Barry Long focuses on those who have been with him for years, and he is intent on penetrating self delusion which covers itself up with the idea that it is immune to or beyond ignorance. Barry targets the hidden compromise in everyone who listens, with no regard for comfort.
What are you holding on to? Are you ready to draw the line and die to your own selfishness? If you are ready for such direct spiritual speaking then something truly amazing can happen.
