The Diamond Approach to Spirituality

We come into this world with a basic trust in the goodness of life. And our trials, tribulations, and traumas cover up that trust, or shatter it completely. In this discussion of his new book, Nondual Love, Tami Simon speaks with author and teacher A.H. Almaas about spiritual self-inquiry and the path toward reclaiming our sense of the boundless benevolence of the universe.  Take a deep, relaxing breath in a quiet, comfortable place and dive in to this inspiring, expansive conversation exploring: the Diamond Approach to spiritual realization; inner work as the quest to understand the content of consciousness; how truth is a continuum; the nature of experience and knowing; satchitananda; the Buddhist concept of selflessness; universal love and Sufism's "ocean with no shores"; permanent realization; the ego and the inner Jabba the Hutt; "living daylight" and the overcoming of fear; how full embodiment frees us from our "diamond issues"; relaxation as the first step in experiencing nondual reality; asking yourself, "what's in the way?"; and more.
