Diamond Heart, Book Four: Indestructible Innocence (Bk.4) [Paperback]

A. H. Almaas (Author)

Book Description

Series: Diamond Heart | Publication Date: September 5, 2000

We live in a world of mystery, wonder, and beauty. But most of us seldom participate in this real world, being focused rather on the parts that are mostly strife, suffering, or meaninglessness. The situation is basically due to our not realizing and living our full human potential. This potential can be actualized by the realization and development of human essence. The human essence is the part of us that is innate and real, and which can participate in the real world.

The series of books Diamond Heart are transcriptions of talks given by A. H. Almaas to inner work groups in Colorado and California.

5.0 out of 5 stars once again..., November 29, 1998

This review is from: Diamond Heart, Book Four: Indestructible Innocence (Bk.4) (Paperback)

almaas produces a lucid and masterful work. a timeless piece of concentrated vastness that reaches the outer and inner cores of one's being. though one must stay with the ride he is exhibiting to the reader, the journey is well worth it. i find myself at the end of each chapter to be in amazement how he can describe such undescribable states of being with what appears to be a benevolent ease. and the challange he presents is accepted for here is a guidemap at which to navigate with. my thanks for his pioneer efforts.

I have read all 4 now of the diamond series and his "unfolding now", and find this book 4 a masterpiece must read among non duality books. He speaks directly to the what appears to be occuring as you go from the conditioned to self to living as the awareness you are finding yourself to be. Many books speak to non duality, and not so much on the "personal" effects this may have as you are "transitioning" or integrating your new found awareness, which can occur prior to realization.
And for that Many thanks.
It can be very helpful to know there can be a process, which can take some time, even years, after all this is a massive, major undertaking.
Have found this is fact often minimized in other references. And since this awakening can cause one to feel outside the mass collective,this has been a breath of fresh honest air.
Also some have said Almaas work is difficult, and Truth,yes, living as such, can be difficult. This path is not for the weak hearted. Having said that, I appreciate that Almaas speaks directly with intelligence. It is digested thoroughly, with direct consumption since there is no needless chatter along the way.
I find this book to be a classic, and must read for anyone looking to living truthfully and wanting to better understand what this may entail "personally"
A wonderful read, crystal clear and deeply appreciated.
Have ordered book 5 and await it's arrival with joy.
