Extracts from this episode:
I am master of the West - and you are all Westerners, you are not easterners. Unless you are addressed in the Western way, you won't be able to live the teaching of truth, you won't be able to be the truth, no matter who you are...
To be the truth is to be free of unhappiness - I am the only one that has ever said that... You have no right to be unhappy - I have no right to be unhappy - ever, ever, ever. You don't have a right because your son died to be unhappy. Get it? You don't have a right to be unhappy because you got cancer. Get it? You know, I'm talking ever, ever, ever...
The spiritual path is a path of ignorance. When you reach the truth, there is no path, there is what is...

Thank you so much for posting. I came across BL's KZhead channel by God's will in 2019. It has helped me through a lot of "personal barriers" ever since. The Truth frees all of us. I am deeply grateful.
The truth never left us, yet it was finally expressed to its utmost beauty by this wonderful body once called Barry Long. Thank you for showing me the only I in existence, me.
"You do not have a right to be unhappy." Thank you. Now let's get after it. Right this ship. Because We CAN.❤
My father passed recently. We were very close ....I have observed my body and inner boy go through deep sadness. Very personal greif .learning to live with his passing is not easy . ❤

I love you Sir and thank whomever put this up as a new and hopefully final teaching in to. Thank you uploaded and thank you Mr Barry Long. I love you Barry and I struggled to live them too. It's been a struggle because I'm selfish and want want want. I'm old and would like to rest, another want so I fake until the pain is so bad I surrender. I surrender to you. I love you again. The bullchitters I struggle to love because the love circuit is bridged by a wall. So I get suffering by trying to even say hello and smile. I seek another like myself again from greed. What am I allowed? I still struggle but see the black and white. But still lost because I want so much to love them all. It's just not possible and it turns to hate and rage. I must shop and drive in a place of twisted faces, that are twisted and grotesque. Confident there ways are best, and they aren't. Oh weres that voice. Chit it's all want want want how to do it. Maybe just let go, leave them alone to themselves to struggle. I feel and sense their pain and I again struggle, I look away, and there I remain. I say goodbye to you all with a shedded tear. And I'm at rest.. goodbye cruel world goodbye.
Compromise is a bitch .
