Very interesting.
I am reading up about Barry Long. Seems like a guy I should follow from 2020.
Here’s a passage from his writings which Neville Goddard followers will find familiar.

There is only one I in the universe. And it is in the body reading these words.
I, the enlightened state of consciousness in man, am God. I am God being-man. The man I am is certainly not God. The God I am is nothing to anything in existence. And this nothing, or I, manifests through the senses to be what I am not, an appearance. Although I am not that, I appear to be that to my self and any self.
So it is said, or I say in the enlightened man down through the ages, ‘I am what I am.’ The people who see my appearance say, ‘You are this or that.’ But I say, ‘No, I am neither this nor that. I am nothing in everything.
Be still and know that I am God.’
