Diamond Heart. Book 3. Being and the Meaning of Life

The third book in the "Diamond Heart" series, compiled from lectures by Kuwaiti-American psychologist and spiritual teacher A. H. Almaas, is dedicated to the practice of realizing Essence - the authentic core of a person, their true self. The path to this realization begins with sincere self-exploration and the desire to know oneself, leading through complex psychological processes and events to the experience of unity with Being. The path of self-discovery starts with the question "Who am I?" and opens up a new perspective on familiar things - one's own goals, values, knowledge, actions, desires, and ideals. You learn to distinguish the false image of yourself (ego-ideal) from true presence. You learn to become aware (rather than push away) your negative states and immerse yourself in inner darkness to find freedom.
