Diamond Heart. Book 2: The Freedom to Be

The second book of the series «Diamond Heart», composed of lectures by Kuwaiti-American psychologist and spiritual teacher A.H. Almaas, is dedicated to the theme of embodying essential being — as opposed to «ego-personality», an external identity based on past experience.... Does the experience of psycho-spiritual self-realization mean a complete renunciation of oneself, or is it a return to the true personal and deep beginning, unified with the universal beginning? What is the essence of true will and how does it differ from false will? What is the nature of the mind and why is it related to space? All these questions clarify the main question — what does it mean to «be oneself», to be a true personality. In all his works, A.H. Almaas lays out the fundamental principles of the diamond approach, connecting Eastern and Western views on human development.
