"Stillness is the way to self-knowledge, and meditation the way to stillness. The intensive course documented here is a complete teaching that takes you to the end of meditation, to a stillness and clarity beyond the struggle of life. You join seven students as they work with the teacher and as you read, you paticipate."--Back cover.
Barry Long's approach to parenting includes not only love for the child, but practical ways of bringing truth and justice into the family. He explains that what children also need from parents is the example of an honest and responsible life. To introduce truth, teach the child to observe the fact of the world. To introduce justice, ask of the child only what you are prepared to do yourself. He also has radical things to say about the development of the personality and the encouragement of imagination. The book is compiled from conversations with parents, so it is possible to understand Barry Long's approach in the actual circumstances of the many families who shared their problems with him. Their experience gives readers a complete picture of the benefit that harmony in the home brings to the next generation.
Barry Long knew he was dying. He set about writing down his last words on the main themes of his spiritual teaching. He wanted to leave behind a full account of what he considered to be his original contribution to the evolving consciousness on Earth. No one before him had been able to strip away spiritual traditions to reveal the universal truth with such boldness and practicality; with such contemporary relevance. No other teachers of his generation were quite so willing to take on the unhappiness of the human condition by dealing with personal intimate questions about relationships, and particularly sexual relations―all without losing sight of the divine. No other enlightened teacher or master had seen into the cosmic scheme of things and at the same time been able to bring universal principles down to earth with such power and immediacy. Between the covers of this book you will find all he wanted us to hear about the human condition, the errors we make in ignorance of the truth of life; about love and its transcendent power to change us; about the dismantling of the selfish body of unhappiness we carry around with us; about the cosmic scheme of all our lives, the purpose of death, the purpose of love, the purpose of life itself.
A book about the purpose of love and how sexuality and relationships are transformed when human love is suffused with the love of God. With such a powerful sexual attraction between us, how is it that we make each other unhappy? Barry Long explains why sex corrupts love and how we cripple loving relationships. What's the solution? In characteristically forthright manner, the author proposes a new way of romantic love and shows how it can be brought into our lives and partnerships with honesty and courage. The love between man and woman is at the heart of Barry Long's teachings. He is well known for his influential bestseller 'Making Love; Sexual Love the Divine Way' . This new book is the sequel. ― A master-class in living and loving.
Making Sexual Love the Divine Way is a book about the mistakes we've all made in confusing love with sex. (Also available as an Audio Book.) It contains Barry Long's essential tantric teaching on how to rediscover the true union of man and woman. Barry Long attacks male sexuality as a corruption of love on this planet and claims that most unhappiness arises because we have forgotten how to make love rightly. He restores the place of romance and gives couples very practical advice on how to change their sexual behaviours so that they can realign their love for each other with the love of God. Widely recognised as a ground-breaking work, the book is frequently quoted as a source of inspiration by other teachers and therapists in this field. It has been translated into nine languages and when well- placed in the bookstore becomes a best-seller - because the title says it all.
Barry Long's right meditation is a five-step guide to the art of spiritual life. It's the product of the author's vast knowledge and his own practice during more than forty years as a spiritual teacher. In his plain-spoken, accessible way, he takes us through the five essential steps that lead away from emotional pain into the sensation of the body, towards fulfilment and freedom and finally to a reality beyond life and death. These teachings are about no longer being a slave to your emotional self. They are about your reality as an individual, being alive with sensation and accelerating your intelligence, until finally you overcome your attachment to existence and the fear of death. “This whole meditation is about you, your deeper reality.”
