“The Diamond Approach is a path of wisdom, an approach to the investigation of Reality and work on oneself that leads to human maturity and liberation.”
Fear and sorrow inhibit action
anger generates it.
When you learn to make proper use
of your anger,
you can transmute fear and sorrow
to anger,
and anger, to action.
That’s your body’s secret of internal alchemy.
You have many habits that weaken you.
The secret of change
is to focus all your energy
not on fighting the old
but on building the new.

Living the Essential Life The understanding of inquiry we are discussing
highlights the integration of true nature and everyday life
through finding your thread - being where you are,
moment to moment,
and following your immediate experience.
As this luminous thread,
which is the center of your life,
manifests and unfolds,
your daily life becomes
an appreciation
and celebration
of the continuing manifestation,
to what we call living the essential personal life,
in which the various situations of personal life
become the context for Being
to manifest its many possibilities.”
“Your career, interests and relationships are important, but they are only important
EMPATHIC LISTENING
Attend to the feelings as well as the content.
insofar as they lead you
DO NOT
toward a deeper
interrupt, interpret, advise, offer your own experience
understanding of yourself.
OR ask questions
Otherwise, they are irrelevant.”
IN DIALOGUE
Give your own perspective
without flinching
from your authentic truth.
Speak plainly,
honestly
