Removing the veil of separation

[Anders]

Barry Long sounds like a modern Rudolf Steiner almost. I'm very impressed by what he says in the video in my previous post. For example this distinction between power of prayer (good) vs force of prayer (conflict):

"The power of prayer unlike the force of prayer will not deprive another to heal or comfort the one you are concerned for. That power will go wherever it is needed in the world without having any injurious negative effects. Power is all positive, force is positive and negative, thus force creates the world of opposites, the world of pain and of gain. Remember if you pray for a particular person in the old way you leave someone else out, you upset the balance of life, you create the condition of injustice in living that requires someone to lose for another to gain, you make the world stronger and contribute to the unhappiness of life on earth." - Barry Long

Notice that as Barry said, even when we pray for the good of someone else it leaves others out thereby creating conflict in the world. That's why when we pray as ordinary people, trapped in the veil, it reeks of service-to-self. Barry also talked about what to me seems like the blackening stage in alchemy, where the old self is broken down in order to make ground for the new self to develop. In my view what Barry calls force is the result of trapped kundalini causing conflicting dualities, and power is kundalini able to flow in unity and harmony. Sounds similar to David R. Hawkins' book Power vs. Force
