The capacity of synthesis that arises here is not a function of taking various elements and putting them together but of recognizing how they are not different. It is seeing the unity in the diversity—seeing directly that the various elements in a situation are one—by discovering the place where they are not differentiated. It is a very organic way of synthesizing. That is why when some people ask me, “Isn’t the Diamond Approach an integration of the spiritual and the psychological?” I say, “No, I don’t see it that way. That doesn’t make sense. It’s not a putting together of the psychological and the spiritual. The way I see it is that the spiritual isn’t separate from the psychological; there is just one thing. And that is reflected in this path.” If you look with the eye of Brilliancy, you see that they are really one thing, not two things put together. They are not synthesized in that way. At the core, at the root, they are one. – Brilliancy: The Essence of Intelligence, ch. 12
