Barry Long died psychologically many years ago, long before the death of his physical body. He realised death as life. As a result, he had the extraordinary authority to convey the idea of death to others. This changes people at the most fundamental level.

The world is a place of complication and fear of death. Inevitably this colours our view of death. Barry Long approaches the subject from the other side, from the transcendental beauty of death, and in doing so he transforms the listener's perception. His message is clear, ‘Everybody wins in the end.’
