Today I was introduced to some of the work of Barry Long. It started with a short conversation on twitter, and @juwil sent me a link to an excerpt of the “Life is Joy” DVD. After quickly updating myself with who Barry Long was I watched the excerpt (see below) and I fell instantly in love with Barry’s words. These words really resonate within me.
Light of my life
Love of my life
Love is light
Consciousness is light
Consciousness is love.
I have to tell you what is real Now…
We tend to refer to old dogmas whether of Christian, Hindu or Buddhist nature. Those stories were written in the spirit of that time. We can’t just apply them into our time. That’s ridiculous. Yes, there are a lot of basic truths in them, but we have to tell them from the perspective of the Now.
I can’t tell you anything except what you know…
This is about the innate knowledge that we all have. It’s not about knowledge we acquire by reading books. As we are the experience of consciousness, which holds all possible knowledge, we innately know everything. We just need to be reminded of that. When you feel something resonating within you it is not newly acquired knowledge, but it is innate knowledge. It feels like being awakened from within. It feels like love.
What you are is life, and life is immortal…You are the light behind life, you are the light of consciousness…
And that is exactly what I mean by “I am God” and “I am God experiencing me“. We all are consciousness experiencing us. We are born with the same knowledge and understanding of life, after which we receive layers and layers of believe systems from our environment putting our innate knowledge to sleep. And then suddenly it awakens again…
In the coming period I will be exploring more work of Barry Long. If you already have, please share your thoughts in the comments. I would love to hear your point of view.
