Nick Roach

About Nick Roach At 17, having had an unhappy start to life and now grown tired of the endless struggling, and faced with another 60 or so years ahead, Nick threw the gauntlet down to life: Either show me there is a reason AND an end to the suffering, or I'm not prepared to carry on like this! Within a year Nick had discovered the teachings of Barry Long, and learned that not only was he responsible for the unhappiness that he was holding onto, but the very circumstances of his life, and he set about to change it. Almost immediately life changed for Nick. Things continued to be painful, and that was to be the case for many years to come, but Nick knew why it was the way it was, and what he had to do to address it. Nick read every book Barry released; purchased every audio recording; and attended every meeting in the UK as well as several in Australia. Insights and spiritual realisations and experiences arose regularly, and for the next 25 years all these were recorded as they occurred (and eventually put into Nick's spiritual autobiography 'A Dream it may be, but the dream goes on!', the title taken from a particularly powerful insight Nick had, aged 22). At 30 Nick had reached a point at which he felt it was time to tell others about his life and practice, and wrote to Barry to say so. Barry replied saying 'Your qualifications to serve by teaching the people are solid or well founded...'. That was 2003, and soon afterwards Barry passed away. Several years passed again during which the journey, and challenges continued. Then in his late 30s Nick entered a new phase referred to as No-self or Liberation, and life changed again. Nick now teaches others who are ready how to face and dissolve emotion, making it conscious, and thus growing in self-awareness AND improving the circumstances of their life as they do so.
