[German] - Liebe - Die Essenz des erwachten Herzens (Ungekürzt)

"Liebe ist eine universelle Energie - und eine primäre Kraft, die unsere Bewegung hin zur spirituellen Erleuchtung antreibt. Jedes unserer Bedürfnisse nach Liebe ist einfach eine Widerspiegelung unseres Bedürfnisses nach spirituellem Wachstum. A. H. Almaas erforscht drei Dimensionen der Liebe: die wertschätzende Liebe - die wahrhaftige Liebe für jemanden oder etwas; die verschmelzende oder verbindende Liebe - die Kraft, die das Getrenntsein wegschmilzt; und die leidenschaftliche, ekstatische Liebe - die in der Lage ist, uns von innen heraus zu verzehren. Jede von ihnen offenbart auf ihre Weise die Schönheit und Erlesenheit unseres spirituellen Herzens, das das Herz des Göttlichen ist. Er untersucht auch, was uns daran hindert, uns mit der Liebe zu verbinden. Praktiken, die sich durch das ganze Buch ziehen, helfen den Leserinnen und Lesern, die Gegenwart der Liebe zu erfahren und die Hindernisse und Missverständnisse zu überwinden, die ihrer Verwirklichung im Wege stehen."

The Power of Divine Eros: The Illuminating Force of Love in Everyday Life

"What do desire and passion have to do with our spiritual journey? According to A. H. Almaas and Karen Johnson, they are an essential part of it. Conventional wisdom cautions that desire and passion are opposed to the spiritual path--that engaging in desire will take you more into the world, into egoic life. And for most people, that is exactly what happens. We naturally tend to experience wanting in a self-centered way. THE POWER OF DIVINE EROS challenges the view that the divine and the erotic are separate. When we open to the energy, aliveness, spontaneity, and zest of erotic love, we will find it inseparable from the realm of the holy and sacred. When this is understood, desire and passion become a gateway to wholeness and to realizing our full potential. The authors reveal how our relationships become opportunities on the spiritual journey to express ourselves authentically, to relate with openness, and to discover dynamic inner realms with another person. Through embodying the energy of eros, each of us can learn to be fully real and alive in all of our interactions."

Endless Enlightenment: The View of Totality in the Diamond Approach

"Advanced Teachings on Spiritual Awakening, Freedom, and the Mystery of Consciousness In the early 1990s, A.H. Almaas had a realization he was not expecting—even after years of deep inner awakenings. “I thought it was a personal experience, not a teaching,” he reflects. Now, after two decades of further investigation, A.H. Almaas has concluded that the time is right to share “the view of totality”—what he considers one of the most advanced aspects of his teaching. A Bold New Vision of Enlightenment We often think of enlightenment as the ultimate destination on the spiritual journey—a final endpoint for delusion and suffering where it all makes perfect sense. But as A.H. Almaas teaches, “the moment we see that the journey has no end, everything changes.” With Endless Enlightenment, you are invited to join the renowned author and creator of the Diamond Approach® for a six-session program on the view of totality. In this seven-hour exploration with Sounds True founder Tami Simon, A.H. Almaas describes for the first time on audio a perspective that expands our ability to appreciate the value of each and every spiritual path and practice—and may revolutionize your own. “We as a human race are just at the beginning,” explains A.H. Almaas. “We’ve opened the door, but there’s a universe of possible experience ahead.” Join him in discovering how “realization begets realization,” with Endless Enlightenment. Highlights include: • How the view of totality changes our approach to spiritual practice • The many faces of true nature • The importance of individual consciousness and the mystery of emptiness • Freedom from, freedom of, freedom to, and freedom itself • A non-hierarchical view of spiritual traditions and paths • Seven hours of radical insights and new teachings with A.H. Almaas—including questions for personal inquiry after each session"

A Conversation Between A.H. Almaas & Daniel Siegel: The Mind, The Soul, The Brain, and the Mystery of Transformation

"Two Pioneers of Science and Spirit Expand the Frontiers of Understanding For centuries, science and philosophy have drawn clear borders: scientists focused on the physical world, and philosophers studied the spiritual. Today that wall is coming down, thanks to innovative teachers like A. H. Almaas and Dr. Daniel Siegel, and the free flow of ideas and information has created a new renaissance of wisdom. On October 19, 2013, these two modern luminaries engaged in a conversation created to spark new ideas and insights about the nature of the mind and soul, the relationship between consciousness and the brain, and the mystery of personal transformation. Now you can experience this extraordinary meeting between A. H. Almaas, the creator of the breakthrough spiritual practice The Diamond Approach, and interpersonal neurobiologist Dr. Daniel Siegel, author of The Mindful Brain. In this daylong conversation, Siegel and Almaas investigate both the convergence and contrasts of spiritual and scientific ways of knowing ourselves. Focusing on the nature of personal transformation and the unfolding of identity, their wide-ranging discussion covers three major themes: Part One: The Mind and the Soul • The soul and the mind—how they are understood by both spiritual traditions and the latest neuroscience • The relationship between Being, Essence, the brain, and consciousness • How the mind relates to the brain, and the far-reaching implications of neuroplasticity—the ability of the mind to change our neural tissue • Why the soul is no longer off-limits to scientific inquiry Part Two: Self, Relationships, and Well-Being • What is the self and how does it develop? • How a sense of self emerges in life, in our relationships, and throughout development • How relational and psychological trauma impair the development of well-being and the unfolding of inner knowing across one's lifespan • The role of interpersonal and close, intimate relationships in the development of our identity •The therapeutic-patient and student-teacher relationships—how these two models for wisdom transmission overlap and inform each other Part Three: The Mystery of Transformation • What science and traditions say about the need for and nature of spiritual growth • The nature of meditation and how spiritual practices and scientific studies perceive the process of inner reflection • How fixed personality traits like narcissism or greed influence personal well-being and spiritual growth • What are the fundamental shared and contrasted views from science and spirituality on the nature of transformation? • Are there goals for transformation? If so, what are they? • How can we live a life of compassion, kindness, and discovery in the face of everyday stress and global change?"

Conscious Love: The Power of Revelation: A Dialogue Between A.H. Almaas and Cynthia Bourgeault Hosted by Sounds True founder Tami Simon

"Just as we need a mirror to see our own face, there are aspects of our true self that we can only come to know when they are reflected to us by another. Now you can experience two exceptional spiritual teachers as they engage in a dialogue about the power of sacred relationship as a vehicle for discovery and transformation with Conscious Love: The Power of Revelation. A.H. Almaas, creator of The Diamond Approach, and Cynthia Bourgeault, an Episcopalian priest and author of Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening, meet for the first time to explore how certain forms of human relationship can function as conduits to the secrets of Being. Join them to explore: • What happens when spiritual illumination is the basis of a relationship • How love pulls us into the intrinsic, underlying collectivity beyond our perceived separateness • Union: how two souls become one in conscious love • How relationships can both express illumination and reveal further awakening • Intimacy and unity in friendships, teacher-student relationships, and marriages • Uncovering selfless, unconditional, divine love • Invoking divine presence within our relationships and communities Expanding on the teaching that “two rocks cannot occupy the same space, but two fragrances can,” Almaas and Bourgeault explore how we can be like fragrances rather than rocks—and experience the subtle, luminous space of union with another. Almaas and Bourgeault guide us into the state of consciousness beyond separateness, an underlying union unlimited by the boundaries of space and time. Hosted by Sounds True founder Tami Simon, this one-of-a-kind dialogue encourages us to look deeply into our own hearts—and step further into conscious loving as the illuminating force of spiritual realization and transformation."
