Barry Long: 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.”

Barry Long

Do yourself a favor, stop thinking, right now:

The blessing of this audio from Barry Long (by the way, did you know that Barry was a beloved friend and mentor of Eckhart Tolle?), is that, if you let it, it can train you to listen without thinking.

Be present, and perceiving, without thinking.

You will find that you can have knowing without thinking. And, this is a very peaceful and powerful state to exist within.

There are some concrete ideas and tips within this audio, however Barry doesn’t want you to think about them, especially outside of the moment of listening to the tape.

“Just listen. Everything is fine, so long as you are listening.”

Barry Long

Being in a state of just listening is excellent mindfulness training, and strengthens your presence-muscles.

Along the way, you might get a feel for your true self. You’ll see. 😉
