God does not make mistakes, Barry Long

Комедия

If God does not make mistakes how do we come to be in this divided existence with its separation, loss and heartbreak? Barry Long explores the question profoundly: 'Whenever you leave God - which is the good in you - that is the original error. Whenever you get emotional and identified with your emotion, you leave God. Whenever you start thinking and trying to work things out, you leave God. Whenever you are unconscious of the sky, the rain, the birds in the trees, the sheer benevolence of the life around you, you leave God and you become unhappy.’ Barry Long speaks of the transcendent completion possible in the union of man and woman. He demonstrates how they leave God in their daily lives. He speaks of the difference between love and truth, the purpose of meditation and how identification with the body keeps us afraid of death and running from God, the original state. In a concise and powerful exposition, he clearly describes how to detach from the body by entering it using our unchanging intelligence and sensation, and how the practice of giving can help us return to the original state • Live meeting. Gold Coast, Australia. May, 1999.

    I always love hearing the truth, independent where I find it--but nothing rings as true as when Barry speaks (spoke). It brings my body to ease, although it sometimes bursts my mind to utter explosion; which goes to tell how I haven't yet cleared out the unrighteous things in my life. I have a long way to go and send my love to all of you walking this path too.

One can reset their whole spiritual system every time their attention gets sucked back into the world. thanks again for keeping this channel up. i have to order this video for my collection.

    Thank you for the food for thought, Antonia. I like cross pollinating. For the sake of discussion, however, if I may respond to the initial assertion that thinking and feeling are our problem because God makes no mistakes, I have a few observations. While it may be true that for many people if we stop feeling and thinking we can have peace (say for short spells in meditation or if we can seriously and deeply clean up egoic nonsense of this sort) there are some shortcomings in this assertion. 1. I've never met anyone who can function in the world without thinking and feeling. Nor are we apparently designed to be without these, at the simplest physical level. Even brute animals think and feel. Animal communicators can chat with them and verify this, as can even any pet owner. And God has fitted us up with even more capacity for thinking and feeling than she fitted the animals up with. So if God makes no errors (and I agree that perhaps God makes no errors at the most abstract level) we are nonetheless clearly designed to think and feel. It is therefore apparentlypart of our intended role as evolving beings, part of some divine plan unfolding. We did not design ourselves, yet we have this design. That cannot be ignored. If we were intended to be rocks, we would be rocks. 2. Thoughts and feelings are indeed a big challenge for us to manage these, but I've never met anyone who can go through life with no feelings or thoughts. Our world itself - like us - is not designed in such a way. Such a person would be a zombie anyway, and does God really intend us to be zombies? I think not. Our world does not allow most of us to be zombies anyway, nor would it be a caring world if it did. Our emotions are also often, in fact, a kind of guidance system to lead us away from abusive people and dangerous situations. They serve an important purpose. Turning them off would not be wise and even reduce the thankful appreciation to which we are exhorted. Thinking can be similar in serving our well-being if managed correctly. So my impression is that we are like "cells in the body of God" (God's consciousness body), and as such we are meant to feel and think, in order to more deeply discern and seek what is needed, to stay in balance in health, to communicate with other cells, to experience, and to grow. Which will - I theorize - lead to expansion of the consciousness of the whole over time and somehow will all come together in the end as an enrichment of God. Otherwise, why would God launch us with these qualities into this environment in this way? 3. This kind of teaching is even more impractical - and unfair! - to ask of traumatized people, particularly those who have survived childhood abuse. And there are a lot of traumatized people these days. This teaching would in essence blame them for not turning off their strong emotions and thoughts when in fact their "miswired" brains and glandular malfunctioning - which formed in reaction to their long traumatic childhood situations in most cases - do not allow them to do so (or certainly without extensive work over a long period of years). This population - which is not small 0 can work on improving these physiological situations, of course, and it will benefit them if they find ways to do so (as Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, a trauma specialist discusses), but the reality is that extreme trauma for years to a child's nervous system does cause extensive and various forms of documented "miswiring" which leaves several aspects of their fight/flight/freeze mechanism in continual perpetual hyperdrive. This is termed CPTSD. They may cry most of the day, be unable to hold a job, have memory problems, have trouble learning or thinking positively or controlling their thoughts and emotions. It's not unusual for people with such brain damage to have periodic "breakdowns" during which they can't even keep house, remember how to write checks, or cook for themselves. People with CPTSD are highly prone to sudden, severe emotions that are extremely hard to control - and problematic thinking patterns as a result, both of which cause inappropriate social behavior and misery. They often lose friends and are judged by others for physiologically caused responses largely beyond their control. More than resulting in hypervigilence, long term abuse to a developing brain causes physiologically-based emotional dysregulation and inability to function that can be severe, so how kind or even reasonable is it to suggest they just need to stop feeling and thinking? While that agony of thought and feeling may be fine with God as part of what they may have karmically incurred (or perhaps not), telling people in this degree of brain-damage-induced emotional and mental suffering that they should simply stop thinking and feeling is not just ridiculous, it is cruel. Nobody tells diabetics they should just knock off their diabetes by an act of will, that God doesn't want them to have it, and they could just stop it if they wanted to. Nor do people say that to heart patients. The brain is an organ like any other. When it malfunctions, for whatever reason, it affects feeling and thinking dramatically. Other mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia, would fall into the same category. I question any "truth" that asks me to cease being compassionate and reasonable. God, it seems to me, is generally considered to be compassionate and reasonable, so there is something fundamentally flawed in this blanket assertion that we must all just stop feeling and thinking. These kinds of observations on "God makes no mistakes so just stop feeling and thinking" seem very ivory tower and abstract to me. Maybe on one level of analysis, it could be kinda true. But looking at how humans are designed brings the issue into question at a more evidential level, as does looking at what the world requires to operate in it effectively. We and world seem in fact designed to think and feel extensively. It must serve some purpose from God's point of view. And in the case of traumatized people or people with mental illness that is genetic, telling these people to simply turn off their thoughts and feelings comes across very much as blaming the victim. It seems very lacking in compassion to make blanket assertions like this to a group already desperately struggling to manage both their thoughts and feelings. They are already rejected and emotionally brow beaten enough as it is by this culture. Most struggle like hell to regulate their feelings and thoughts, trying to not give up and commit suicide. They don't need to feel blamed for lack of spiritual dedication as well, which this kind of blanket abstract "truth" does seem to communicate.

    He wasn't saying you shouldn't have any thoughts or feelings, just to get rid of uncontrolled thought which lead to worry & self created emotional pain/ suffering. Thought that leads to practical action is fine, & natural emotion in the moment (such as sadness when someone dies, joy in making love or seeing beauty etc) is good. He was just saying we don't need to add to that emotion by thinking about the past as that addictive habit creates suffering & attachment.

    You put a lot of thought, reflection and observation into your comment. As I understand it, the goal is not to stop thinking, feeling, responding to life. It is to move awareness back a bit, create the space to realize we are not the character playing out the feelings and thoughts, like an actor in a play. We are holding witness to these events without being yanked about by them. In fact, a huge tool for dealing with trauma is building that space of self awareness to be in relationship with your self. If you can be trustworthy for your self, you have a life raft of consciousness. When you are part of the universe, changing in the moment but unchanging in substance, you can make new decisions. Yes, we have physical limitations we don't have control over. I imagine the modest life pursued by many who wish to have a better view of reality, is to provide a survival base of shelter, food, routine, to be supportive and less distracting, so that practioners can pursue their relationship with reality and not be as mesmerized by their experiences. Thank you for being, thank you for sharing that people and their suffering, matter to you.

    When you listen to only one video you obviously can't necessarily get the full picture. In other recordings, Barry clarifies that thinking that is "practical" is okay. However, you also have to appreciate that the role of a master is to help you to break into a new space. If a master's teaching is dictated only by the practical considerations of this world then that is unlikely to happen. Keep in mind that your comment, while perfectly okay, is a response of your human mind trying to "understand" spiritual principles, when of course anything real or true lies in a different realm, which is an energetic reality now, and which no thought can ever understand or connect with. Barry often spoke of "getting the idea", meaning not to necessarily fixate on specific points that may seem confusing. Not that there's anything wrong of course with asking questions or expressing opinions, as part of an exchange, which is part of the learning process.
