Only Fear Dies: A Book of Liberation   Only Fear Dies: A Book of Liberation  |
The earth awaits a revolution in consciousness as day by day discontent grows around the world. But unhappiness, accepted as normal, is not a natural part of life. Those willing to rid themselves of unhappiness may go through hell on earth to be free. But in them a new consciousness is born. It dawns with the discovery that only fear dies. • This book contains a profound spiritual teaching which it is not at all abstract or remote but directly useful to anyone trying to look for truth in this world. Barry Long redirects our attention back to the source of all problems - ourselves. He challenges us: Why do we insist on having the right to be unhappy? First we are shown how to deal moment-to-moment with what makes us discontented so that we can practice staying free of it. Then Barry Long examines the roots of unhappiness and how it attaches itself to us from an early age. He describes how this preoccupation with discontent is played out in the world at large, in politics and the media. There is a prophetic section on the unholy alliance of the media and the politicians - written nearly 20 years ago, but the implications of what is said here become more obvious every day. The later essays are about where responsibility lies, and why we must become more responsible for ourselves. There is a chapter about living under the Law of Life, or Karma. And the final essay in the book describes the drama of life from conception to death and beyond, and how we enter the mysteries of living and dying. This knowledge holds the secret of final liberation from the ills of the human condition. • Summary A book of essays on the causes and effects of
