Pursuing the Nature of Reality
What is the nature of reality? This eternal question has consumed philosophers and mystics across time. For most of us, day-to-day life tends to eclipse our curiosity about these fundamental mysteries. Yet the longing to know ourselves and the world around us lies dormant within. In Diamond Heart Book 2, A.H. Almaas invites us to reignite our passion for the pursuit of truth. With insight and compassion, he charts a path beyond conceptual understanding into directly contacting the nature of reality.
Diamond Heart Book 2: The Freedom to Be
Discusses the perils of too much success in spiritual work: how holding on to the “achievements” of essential development can interfere with the pursuit of truth about the nature of reality.
There are two contenders for your attention: essence and personality. From the perspective of essence, self-realization means realizing or developing one’s essence. From the perspective of liberation, the process is seen as becoming free from the personality. In our work, these two developments go on simultaneously; they are one process.
This modern-day spiritual path, the Diamond Approach, invites us into uncharted waters of self-discovery. But what happens when our ego becomes an obstacle to realizing truth? In Diamond Heart Book 2: The Freedom to Be, A.H. Almaas explores the delicate balance between nurturing essence and liberating from personality.
