Barry Long Mind Quotations

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.

To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.

When the robot mind is mastered, undisciplined thinking ceases and is replaced by awareness. Awareness can know love.

Love is beyond the mind because it is always new.

Beauty is and always is. You are absent. Why are you absent? Again your robot mind is the problem. It will not stay still and you cannot make it stay still. It is your master and it separates you from beauty and God.

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

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.
