Barry Long

The Myth of Life series is a journey through the human psyche which forms our existence. The six book journey begins in the first audio with the descent into yourself with the stillness of right meditation. It proceeds in self-knowledge through the nature of truth, through the fact and truth of death, sexual love, right prayer, the world condition, the divine law or karma, and ends with consciousness. It leads you to knowing your self, so that you eventually realise or make real the living truth or the truth of your being.

This complete series forms the basis of Barry Long's teaching, consisting of 'Start Meditating Now', 'How to Live Joyously', 'Seeing through Death', 'Making Love', 'A Prayer for Life' and 'A Journey in Consciousness'.

The Myth of Life

The Myth of Life Bundle: The Meditation, Tantra, Self-Knowledge collection

You're in meditation from the start. No music. No mantras. No yogic positions. No religious belief or previous experience required.

A two part audio book - Part 1: Start Meditating Now

‘Meditation is the art of entering your own unconscious. Your unconscious is inside your body. It is a place of extraordinary stillness and creativity. When you reach it you will know that learning to meditate was the most important move you ever made.’

Whether you are a complete beginner or have meditated before, Barry Long’s spoken instruction takes you steadily into more and more stillness. This carries over into your daily life as a sense of greater well-being.

Part 2: How to Stop Thinking

‘Thinking is a psychological disease – a madness now infecting just about everyone. It is the cause of worry and all unhappiness. I'm assuming you want to be rid of it; that you want to cure yourself. I'm going to show you how . . . I have mastered the thinker and by the grace of God am free of this terrible disease. I am able to tell you all about it, to reveal every hidden detail of it, and so undermine its hold over you.’

Thinking is the other side of worry. If you want to stop worrying, stop thinking! Not so easy . . . But Barry Long has a convincing message to help you. In ten short, sharp lessons he explains how to get control of useless thinking and supports you in the endeavour to more and more often have nothing in your head but pure awareness.

Start Meditating Now: How To Stop Thinking

The aim of living is to free ourselves from the past conditioning of our karma so that we can actually enjoy our lives. 'Stop living in your own shadow, and the sun, the joy, immediately shines.'

Barry Long says joy is our natural state. To reveal our true being we have to shed the tensions and burdens of living. To do this requires new energy and a willingness to live responsibly and consciously under the law of life, often called ‘karma’.

Part One: How To Live Joyously - Tells the story of the being behind the mask, the real you beneath the personality; how to make yourself free; with exercises to release the energy needed to live more joyously.

Part Two: The Law Of Life - Karma: The law which governs the lives of conscious individuals; what it is to be consciously responsible for your life; how karma operates in the mystery of life, death and rebirth.

How To Live Joyously: Being True to the Law of Life

‘May I speak openly of death, bereavement and dying? Facing the fact of death dispels the fear of it.’

This audio book helps you discover the reality of death and prepares you for the moment when death comes.

Death is the unconscious part of our being, cut off from that reality, we grow afraid and unhappy. Facing death we discover a new dimension - the full joy and beauty of life. But first we must understand death, and learn the art of dying.

Seeing Through Death: Facing the Fact Without the Fear

‘Man and woman have forgotten how to make real love. This is the greatest tragedy on earth.’

Divine love is not an elusive dream. Thousands around the world have transformed their love lives with this tantric teaching. With the program of instruction in this life-changing audio book, you and your partner can find freedom from sexual unhappiness and mutual joy in sexual union.

This audio book is a remedy for the mistakes we've all made in confusing love with sex. It contains Barry Long's essential tantric teaching on how to rediscover the true union of man and woman. Barry Long claims that most unhappiness arises because we have forgotten how to make love rightly. He restores the place of romance and gives couples very practical advice on how to change their sexual behaviours so that they can realign their love for each other with the love of God.

Making Love: Sexual Love the Divine Way

Increasing uncertainty. Global unrest. Shocking events. What next? What's the fate of our world? If we pray for peace how will our prayers be answered? What can we do?

This audio book examines why our civilisation is being shaken, where humanity makes its mistakes – and predicts the outcome. Barry Long's radical message is a prayer for a new life on earth, beyond anything that can be imagined today.

‘What can you possibly do at the end of the world, at the end of time? You can help yourself and others in a way you have probably never thought of. You are part of something immeasurably greater than a world or a body that can be destroyed by calamity or death.’

The end of the world, the actual annihilation of it, is the result of the world's unconscious praying. Here a spiritual master describes what right prayer is and explains the difference between the power of prayer and the force of prayer - a distinction humanity has never bothered to consider.

These subjects are covered: The force of prayer - Unconscious and irresponsible praying - The consequences - No escape - The change you can make - The power of prayer - Life is good - How to pray rightly - A prayer for life - Prayers of freedom - World without hope - Responsibility - The world and the earth - Intelligence is the problem - Civilization is corruption - Real value - The purpose of tragedy - New life - Dismantling the world

A Prayer for Life: The End of the World

'I am going to make real for you the final mystery of existence. This is the rarest knowledge on earth'

The journey of self-discovery leads back through everything we know about ourselves to a point of perception, beyond the brain and beyond the sensory reality. Barry Long draws us back towards that point by telling us the story of existence and helps us see ourselves as we truly are.

Part 1: The Unbelievable Truth - Why truth is unacceptable to the human brain; how it makes sense of the world; how to get through to the consciousness at the centre of it.

Part 2: Who I Am - An exploration of a reality beyond the brain’s comprehension; a demonstration in our living experience of the perception at the centre of every spiritual realisation - the knowledge of what ‘I’ am and where ‘I’ come from.
