About this listen

A. H. Almaas, whose writings brilliantly illustrate the unity of modern depth psychology and traditional spiritual wisdom, is a respected, pioneering teacher. Jack Kornfield has called him "one of the most significant voices for a new and remarkably integrated spiritual vision."

Now for the first time ever, Almaas has created with Sounds True an accessible audio introduction to his lifetime of work. The Diamond Approach features insights refined from Almaas' 30 years of teaching, including how he has helped thousands around the globe "do the work" by investigating reality, developing emotional wholeness, uncovering their true essence, and realizing the non-duality of being.

Very impressed with the inclusion of depth psychology and how working with psychological structures is important, not just something to be seen, but worked through and then also seen through

This is a really interesting book, full of insight and worth reading. But please note, the book does not contain the teaching of The Diamond Approach in any way. It is just an interview with Almass, giving a précis of the type of insight that comes from the teaching. You will learn nothing about the diamond approach itself and so I feel the title is misleading.

The title is misleading

It doesn’t really offer anything new—just a different way of packaging long-standing spiritual ideas for those uneasy with traditional faiths. Even when the interview asks what sets it apart, the answer doesn’t go far. It’s not that the interpretations are shallow; it’s simply not a different teaching, just another way of approaching what’s already been said. There’s also a quiet arrogance beneath the modest tone, and I’m surprised it’s getting so much traction, especially through Sounds True

Lacking of original thinking it is quite literaly an approach
