ANGER can burn away old habits.

“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
