Barry Long (1926-2003) was a spiritual master recognized worldwide. His spiritual realization began in the late 1950s and was provoked by radical self-inquiry independent of any religious tradition. He began teaching in London a decade later in the 1960s. By the 1990s he was traveling the world speaking of love, life, truth, death, and God. A writer by trade, his many books cover every aspect of living and the spiritual life, although he is best known for his teachings on love between man and woman. His work has been published in eleven languages. In his later years, he returned to his native Australia where he continued to teach and write until his death in 2003.
