  EP29. We Are Coming to the End of Our Civilisation 22.03.2026 1j 24mnt

  Human beings are attached not to life but to living — to the mortal body, to possessions, relationships, and the structures of the world — and that this attachment makes us worship death rather than realise the immortal life that we are. Barry says that when tragedy strikes, especially in public events of mass death, most people are not grieving life itself but reacting to the shock of their own mortality reflected back at them. Against this, Barry says – life is one, universal, and undying –...

  EP28. Shakti: The Power of Divine Love 15.03.2026 56mnt

  We are pleased to make this full recording available free as part of The Barry Long Podcast. Out of the more than 2,000 recordings preserved in The Barry Long Archive, this is one of the very few in which Barry enters so deeply into the mystery of Shakti. Barry describes Shakti as the divine feminine power, the power of love in existence, and as the very power of the universe. He speaks of Shakti as the living divine force waiting in woman, called forth through sufficient love, surrender, an...

  Sex and Love: The Crucial Distinction 23.01.2026 1j 39mnt

  Barry draws a sharp distinction between sex and love: true love, especially between devoted partners, travels down into the subconscious and disturbs the past, bringing up old doubt, heartbreak, conditioning, and stored emotional patterns so they can be seen rather than lived as present reality. He says the right response is stillness—recognising what rises as past unreality—so love can do its work and lead to increasing detachment from feelings and eventual freedom. Sex, by contrast, may sat...

  God’s Will and Man’s World: The Disaster of Progress 05.12.2025 35mnt

  Barry Long addresses the troubling question of who is really in charge of this world when our era is so full of suffering, violence, division, degradation and confusion. “I’ve been asked, ‘Is God in charge? Surely God is in charge of everything – then God must be doing all this.’” Barry distinguishes between God’s world – the living earth, the seasons, the body and the simple fact of being here – and man’s world of cities, money, institutions and technology, which is built entirely ou...

  What is love? 02.04.2025 55mnt

  Excerpts: I live with a woman or a man, if I'm a woman, to enjoy being together. What we've got to examine is what stops us from enjoying being together? That would be a reasonable question, wouldn't it? Man is with woman, where I come from, for her to help him to give up his structures – only to help him, as he is with her to help her to give up emotion. So it's a two-way deal. Man's main difficulty in living with woman is that he won't listen to her. If he gets emotional, where I come fr...
