THE TRUTH OF LIFE is discovered within ourselves. But
how do we find the way in?
The sfiritual teacher is the doorkeeper. Within, the
master sits and beckons. In this book we find the authentic
voice and teaching of the master — directly addressing us
with a challenge, an enticement, to recognise the life or
spirit we inwardly know outselves to be.
Not an account of Barry Long’s self-discovery, or anyone’s
story, this collection of ninety-nine brief essays reminds us
that at the core of our being we have no history; we are in
essence free and timeless. These are essential statements
about truth, love, God, meditation, prayer, the condition of
the world and the paths and byways of spiritual and
psychic teachings.
‘A lucid exploration of the true life lived in spirit. Chapter by
chapter, page by page we are taken into the uncharted depths of
spiritual being. Any person who reads this book will come to see
that Masters do exist among us.’ GOLDEN AGE
