Customer Review: I thought that this book was a substantial advance on the understanding of the ideas of Gurdjieff. Yet it goes beyond this by introducing new ideas that I believe would have been very acceptable to the original fourth way schools of thought.
Customer Review: This great introduction to Almaas'teachings. Reading the books written by A.H. Almaas can be a little dificult to understand, specially for foreigners like me who are not native english readers. This books has the major concepts condensed in only one book. I found this very usefull.
Customer Review: You can only truly know it by being it. Which means, not just mind knowing. To us Diamond Approach students, the words written in this book are felt or sensed as truth. As Ken Wilber says on the back cover, "the Diamond Approach is probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual... more info

This work is a document so profound in its articulation of consciousness.... more info

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to go beyond their mind chatter and who want to get to the heart of the... more info
Customer Review: This book is a beautiful alternative to the more personality-based books on the Enneagram. This book provides a Diamond Heart - based path for using the Enneagram to understand deeper spiritual hooks our ego has and illuminates a way to work on them rather that simply feeling trapped by our usual... more info
Customer Review: I have read this book twice, and each time I had a very different experience. The second time was a real adventure, because the concerns the author grapples with in this book are now similar to those I have in my own life. So, there was a real sense of affinity in the second reading. The book... more info
