“His writings had a profound influence on me; his words were like keys that opened door after door in my understanding. Krishnamurti was a man who spoke the highest truth, so high, so essentially incommunicable, that only those who are one with him in Consciousness can possibly comprehend its full significance. And of course, being so meaningful for these individuals, it is meaningless to the intellectual mind.”

"I met Krishnamurti privately in Madras, as well as attending one of his open-air lectures. We sat opposite each other in silence for 15 minutes. There was nothing to say. He had already said it all. When I phoned Krishnamurti’s personal assistant to make the appointment, I said, ‘I want to introduce myself. I am Barry Long from Australia, Krishnamurti’s successor.’ She was both astonished and indignant, 'Krishnamurti doesn't have a successor'. 

"Many years later, in 1986 a couple of days after Krishnamurti died, a man who was with his teaching and and knew of me knocked on the door of my home, apologised for disturbing me but said he'd had a dream that concerned me and seemed very important. He said in his dream he had walked into a room in which three men were seated at a table. He knew these were the successors of Krishnamurti. The table was in shadow and he could only make out one of the men. It was Barry Long."
