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.”

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.

This posthumous autobiography tells the story of Barry Long's life from his early years in Australia to a career as a successful newspaper editor and then how successive spiritual crises and realizations made him into a spiritual master who changed the lives of thousands of people around the world. It is a candid and sometimes painfully honest account of transformation by love and the transcendental. Liberation or spiritual freedom is not gained by trying to be like everyone else. Liberation is to have the will, the power, the simplicity to be what you are from moment to moment, without pretence and without considering what you or others think you should be or should not be. Naked of being anything, you must stand, and stand alone.

In diesem Buch geht es darum, Kinder auf die Welt vorzubereiten. Barry Long gibt Rat, wie man in einer modernen Welt mit Themen wie Enttäuschung, Mobbing durch Klassenkameraden, Schulproblemen, Gewalt, Liebe, Sexualität und Tod umgeht. „Ihr seid als Eltern dazu da, euch um Eure Kinder zu kümmern und ihnen eine Zuhause zu geben, euer Bestes für sie zu tun und sie dann, wenn sie nach draußen gehen, um ihre Erfahrungen zu machen, über die größere Welt zu informieren und sie mit eurer Weisheit anzuleiten. Ihr müsst ihre Intelligenz anleiten, sich der Welt zu stellen und das richtige Gleichgewicht zwischen dem inneren Leben und dem Leben in der Gesellschaft finden. Lasst sie nicht einfach nur damit zurande kommen. Gebt eure eigene Zeit auf. Das ist Liebe.“ Barry Long erinnert uns in diesem Buch an unsere große Verantwortung für das spirituelle Leben der nächsten Generation.
