Only Fear Dies: A Book of Liberation

Only Fear Dies: A Book of Liberation by Long, Barry. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780950805078.

Only Fear Dies is about the real possibility that we can free ourselves of unhappiness, which is another way of talking about enlightenment. This potential for freedom is the heart of all the work of the author, Australian spiritual master, Barry Long. And this is one of the most important of his books. Long describes in his inimitable and vivid way how unhappiness seizes hold of us from birth, how it forms our personalities, dominates our history, is manipulated by the media and chases us to death and beyond. The root of unhappiness is fear - but the good news is that in the conscious or divine life, fear dies. In dying for life we realize at last that only fear dies. Written 15 years before Eckhart Tolles world best-seller The Power of Now, Barry Longs book covers similar ground and has been hugely influential.
