So the beginning of the path is learning to access our emotion by seeing what's in the way of them.
Ever wondered what lies beneath the surface of your everyday self? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', Eric Zimmer chats with A.H. Almaas, the mind behind the Diamond Approach to Self-Realization. A.H. Almaas, also known as A. Hameed Ali, is a spiritual teacher who has written extensively on the subject of spiritual realization. His works include the Diamond Heart series and his latest book, 'Love Unveiled: Discovering the Essence of the Awakened Heart'.
Together, they dive into how curiosity, inquiry, courage, kindness, and love can guide us to discover our true nature, or as Almaas calls it, our 'essence'. Almaas explains that many of us lose touch with our true essence due to early life experiences that create 'holes' in our consciousness. These gaps lead to a disconnection from our core self. The Diamond Approach offers a way to bridge these gaps through inquiry-based exploration.
This method involves deconstructing our personality layer by layer to reconnect with our true essence. Almaas highlights the importance of emotional states and essential qualities like curiosity and clarity in this journey. The episode also touches on the famous Two Wolves Parable, comparing our true essence to the 'good wolf' and our conditioned self to the 'bad wolf'. Almaas stresses the need to 'feed' our true essence by embracing our emotions and understanding what hinders them.
He believes that facing difficult emotions like fear and anger with kindness and curiosity can help us reconnect with our true selves. Almaas also discusses the 'theory of wholes', which describes the emptiness created by those early life gaps. He suggests that inquiry-based exploration can help us include these holes in our journey to reconnect with our essence. By focusing on essential qualities such as precision and clarity, we can better understand what's really happening within us.
This episode offers a deep dive into understanding oneself through emotional states and essential qualities. If you're curious about exploring your inner world and reconnecting with your true essence, this conversation with A.H. Almaas is a must-listen.
