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.RIGHT MEDITATION was written just before he died in 2003 and concluded his life's work. \"This whole meditation is about you, your deeper reality.\"","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56308234387829,"sku":"9781899324507","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781899324507_f50c03db-3695-45e3-9ab5-1eb667de56b2.jpg?v=1786029448"},{"product_id":"9781899324194","title":"My Life of Love and Truth","description":"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 realisations made him into a spiritual master who changed the lives of thousands of people around the world.  It is a candid and sometimes searingly 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.

In typically inspiring and provocative style Barry Long gives us various ways to the Way - the ways of truth love stillness and prayer - and then charts the blind alleys and false trails of the spiritual path.  Readers will learn to recognise which are the reliable signposts as Barry Long guides us finally to The Way Out where the ultimate or higher truth is found.    In 99 essays or 'plain statements' readers are invited to look for the truth in their own direct experience of life.  There is a great deal of advice in how to meditate how to pray what to look for in life and how to discriminate between true and false teachings.  There is instructive comment on other spiritual traditions psychic practices and the 'New Age'.  Towards the end of the book Barry Long focuses on the goal of all spiritual self-discovery - freedom from suffering and conscious participation in the purpose of life on earth.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57483434787189,"sku":"9780950805054","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780950805054.jpg?v=1786178599"},{"product_id":"raising-children-in-love-justice-and-truth","title":"Raising Children in Love, Justice and Truth","description":"Spiritual teacher Barry Long's guidance for parents:·Speak to your children intelligently from the earliest age.·Don't ask them to do what you won't do yourself.·Show them your love by always being open and honest.In other words, demonstrate love, justice and truth in action, on a daily basis, where it counts most - in everyday family life.
