A woman tells Barry that since first meeting him her life has changed, but she needs clarification. Without consciously seeking it, she says, communication with dead people, higher beings, other intelligences and extraterrestrial intelligence has come into her awareness and guided her towards what she calls God realisation. She says this began about ten years earlier when dead people started speaking through her, giving proofs of their survival to people she had never met.

Barry replies that such psychic ability is relatively common and not wrong, yet belongs to a psychic band of voices, guidance, so-called higher beings and channelers which is not spiritual and not the truth. He warns against getting fixated on disembodied beings, whom he calls irresponsible, and says he can only rightly communicate truth while responsible for this body. On extraterrestrial intelligence he speaks of Earth as a cosmic being within a greater system of beings, all finally one being, God.

Barry Long Answers is a new, free podcast that invites listeners into the intimate dialogue of audience questions and the spiritual master’s answer. These exchanges provide universal guidance to a range of everyday issues concerning man and woman. Each episode begins with a direct question put to Barry and his uncompromising response. The series draws from the Barry Long Archive, a repository of over 20 years of Barry Long’s teachings.

For full-length talks and extended dialogues, besides 'Barry Long Answers', the usual 'Barry Long Podcast' continues as a separate stream, with both free and subscriber-only editions available. Or if you'd like access to the full Barry Long Archive, the Barry Long website offers a subscription to this.

Barry described himself as the ‘Master of The West.’ His ideas, vocabulary and expressions are unmistakably and patently Western: down to earth and practical. His teaching is free from tradition or religion, be it Western or Eastern. Over more than twenty-five years he spoke to thousands of men and women and he addressed them where they were – in their real, living life. The reference point always being in living the truth now, not the past. In this directness lies Barry’s distinctive usefulness and uniqueness: a practical wisdom that addresses contemporary issues and presents a way to transform the unhappy human condition into the freedom of being.
