5-Session Summer Book Group Discussing The Diamond Approach by John Davis
This book study is for those unfamiliar with the Diamond Approach and those who want to explore some of the fundamentals more deeply.
The group will be led by Diamond Approach teacher John Harper. We will meet five times during the summer. The sessions will be recorded for those who may miss a meeting while on vacation.
THE DIAMOND APPROACH (order book) is a spiritual path based on new insights and timeless wisdom. It has the advantage of recent knowledge about psychological development and spirituality that was not available before. Thus, it provides a better understanding of profound but difficult spiritual concepts and more effective ways to achieve spiritual realization.
Hameed Ali (A. H. Almaas) developed and has taught the Diamond Approach for over forty years. His background includes the study of mathematics, physics, bioenergetics, depth psychology, and spiritual work. He credits his early teachers and his studies of Sufism, Buddhism, and the Gurdjieff work, among other systems, with helping him to open to the discoveries that led to his understanding.
The Diamond Approach is both an understanding of our deepest human nature and a path to realizing and developing our fullest potential. With a precise method for inner work, it incorporates spiritual wisdom and psychological insights to offer effective practices for self-realization, spiritual maturity, and inner freedom. Above all, it encourages us to live our realizations in our everyday lives. Through this work, we find ourselves returning to the depth of our true nature and growing in a process of ongoing evolution.
Most of all, the Diamond Approach is a path for living as real, fulfilled, free, and mature human beings in the world. This maturity and realization shows up in a simple wakefulness, richer relationships, a more welcoming attitude toward our experience, and well-rounded, authentic presence. – John Davis
