Only One 'I' - the Ultimate Truth | Barry Long

Barry Long delivers his most uncompromising teaching: there is only one ‘I’ in the universe, and that ‘I’ is not personal.

He reframes the declarations of the prophets and Jesus as expressions of the single universal consciousness speaking through a human form.

Humanity was once unable to carry this responsibility, which is why religions externalized “God.”

Now, Long says, human perception has matured enough to realize the I directly—without prophets, priests, or intermediaries.

• “I am the Lord thy God” reinterpreted as the universal I
• Jesus saying “I am the way” was not personal ego but the I speaking
• Ancient humanity lacked the perceptual depth for this truth
• Modern consciousness is finally capable of direct realization
• The person resists because the I implies total responsibility
• The heart is the only place that can verify truth
• If you don’t recognize goodness in yourself, you can’t see it anywhere
• Paradise/Nirvana = the natural state when the person dissolves
• “If you have a problem, you are not I.”
• The call is not to search for I — but to be I

• There is only one I.

The individual does not have their own I; they participate in the I that is universal.
• Total responsibility.

Recognizing the I removes all projection and all excuses.
• The person is the obstruction.

Suffering belongs to the psychological construct, not to I.
• The heart verifies truth.

No external authority, philosophy, or religion can replace the inner recognition.
• Humanity is ready.

The collective depth of experience allows this truth to be realized now.
• Jesus reframed.

“I am the way” becomes an expression of the universal I, not personal divinity.
• Heaven is a state, not a location.

It appears instantly when the person falls away.
• I guides the form.

But only when the person stops interfering.

Long dismantles the historic separation between “man” and “God.”

He explains that earlier humanity lacked the perceptual maturity to handle the truth “You are I.”

Thus prophets placed I outside, as a deity.

Even Jesus spoke cautiously (“Our Father who art in Heaven”) to avoid overwhelming people.
But the suffering and intensity of modern times has opened enough perceptual depth for direct realization.

The message is no longer “obey God,” but:
Assume the I within you.
This aligns with:
• Ramana Maharshi’s “I-I”

• Nisargadatta’s “I Am”

• Essene and Egyptian inner-light practices

• The Christic archetype as inner resurrection

• Quantum Sexuality’s dissolution of the personal reference frame
Everything that is not I is the conditioned person — the fears, doubts, habits, and narratives.

When presence is deep enough, the I is automatically revealed.

When the person returns, problems reappear.

Barry Long does not offer a belief.

He removes all belief.

He returns everything to one point:
I — the singular, impersonal, timeless consciousness.
The path is not to find I.

The path is to stop being the person, so the I can be.

let us start with the I for the ey is the beginning and the end the eye is the ultimate truth it was demonstrated in the older days of the Bible by the statements of the prophets and of Jesus Christ whoever Jesus Christ was Jesus Christ certainly lived or whoever said the words that Jesus Christ thought our recorded of Jesus Christ let us start from there so that we truly understand the I and then I am going to point out to you why it can now be realized with a greater depth than was ever possible the prophets declared or


00:01:02 - 00:02:56
wrote or inscribed in some way or other even in the memory of those who followed I am the Lord thy God you will have no other God but I be still and know that I am God all the other evidence of the of the the being in existence of God refers to I then they come up to the later expression of the Jewish religion which became Christianity and you find Jesus Christ saying I am the way and the life the world could not tolerate anyone saying I am the way and the life so the world of you of all the 's of all the persons


00:02:13 - 00:04:18
crucified that man that truth for no one is supposed to say I am the way and the life and yet everyone says I am this I am the Prime Minister I am hungry I love you I am a managing director I am depressed everyone all day long can declare and does declare I am everything and yet if you ever say I am the way and the truth and demonstrated you are crucified in one way or another this is because the World cannot tolerate cannot stand the responsibility of being I so the prophets the truth of the prophets the I


00:03:16 - 00:05:00
and the prophets had to speak of a God that man was not responsible as but had to be responsible too and even in the times of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ was very careful to say Our Father Who Art in Heaven because he could not give to the populist too early or a too wider except to his own followers this truth that said I am that I am he or it that is the Divine truth that is the power in Glory now in those days which is in the past the human consciousness that is the consciousness of the earth of humanity


00:04:16 - 00:05:51
for We Are One Consciousness was unable through its experience of life as living to have sufficient perception to GR bup the eye so the eye had to be made something separate from itself but I am telling you now that I am here in this body and this brain in these senses is speaking to you direct speaking to the eye in you telling you I am here outside you speaking through the senses but but only as a reminder as a Resonance of the eye that is within you for our Times by all the suffering that man and


00:05:10 - 00:07:09
Humanity has gone through has at least yielded one thing and that is a greater depth of perception which allows you now in these times you the individual human being to perceive I direct within you and not have to look up to some sort of Heaven which is always presented outside you with raised eyes or on some altar or in some formal concept the message of these times the truth of these times the evolution that is marked these times is that you are resp responsible you are I and I am no longer going to shelter


00:06:08 - 00:07:45
behind Jesus Christ behind a formal God behind prophets behind priests the eye within you is the only eye and as I have told you on numerous occasions as a demonstration there is only one eye in the univers verse and that is the eye that is in the body that is listening to this message for only that eye knows whether you are lying when you say I love you that is why God the Divine eye which you are and which is within you underneath the person underneath the doubts the fears the running from the


00:06:58 - 00:08:41
responsibility for ey for Life underneath all that rubbish is this Divinity that reads your heart the only heart the only place where True Love on the earth can ever be for if there is no love no humility no sweetness no rightness in you there is none on the earth because even if you see it around you you will not recognize it and you will trample on it like the swine trample on the pearls so stop looking for a rightness a goodness a sweetness outside of you find yourself man and woman find I be I don't just find it be


00:07:55 - 00:09:45
it you are responsible now that is the message of our times which the people of Christ the people of Buddha the people of the prophets of the Old Testament could not have could not appreciate the Buddha would never talk about nivana which is the let us say is the equivalent of paradise or or Christ's Heaven he would not say what it was and why should he for I am in Paradise now I am always in Paradise I am always in nivana I am always in heaven that is I who is within you now the person is never in Paradise


00:08:51 - 00:10:11
except for a little while when the excitement is running high or when you become I in those Beautiful Moments you know the truth you wonder why you have been depressed because you are then I and you have no more problems when you are I for I within you has no problems whenever you are think you have a problem then you can be sure you are not being responsible for I for I have no problems there are certainly events in this world and in this body and this brain or this body and this brain has to deal with them but I am always behind it


00:09:31 - 00:09:58
and the more that I am present I guide this body and this brain through all its problems through all its difficulties but you must do it you must be I
