68 Quotes by Barry Long

Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.

The more you observe life in relation to yourself the more you will see the fact that you are hardly ever correct when you think about something in the future. The future exists only in imagination; and that is why, no matter how hard you try to imagine it, you will not be able to predict the future with total certainty.

Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.

When you observe yourself you must not condemn or approve what you see. If you tell a lie there is no need to judge your-self.

You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.

No man can teach another self-knowledge. He can only lead him or her up to self-discovery - the source of truth.

We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin g.

It is a little known fact that truth cannot be memorized. Truth has to be discovered now, from moment to moment. It is always fresh, always new, always there for the still, innocent mind that has experienced life without needing to hold on to what has gone before.

Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.
