- This episode is a conversation with Hameed Ali, who publishes under the name of A.H. Almaas. Hameed is founder of The Diamond Approach to Self-Realization, a contemporary teaching that developed within the context of both ancient spiritual teachings and modern depth psychology theories. He has authored 18 books about spirituality and realization, including the Diamond Heart series, The Pearl Beyond Price, and his new book NonDual Love. Almaas discusses his journey from physics to psychology, his discovery of his unique approach to spirituality, and the evolution of his teachings. The conversation also explores his Theory of Holes, which posits that our feelings of emptiness, where we feel there’s something missing in our lives, can lead to profound spiritual revelations and become a portal to an aspect of essence nature.

Thank you! 🙏
Its possibilities are infinite.
An incredible dialogue with two Masters who balance humility with the profound realizations of an integral spiritual vantage point.
Thank you for another insightful podcast ❤
Regarding the undetermined, unknowable nature of the absolute, I just stumbled upon this neat sentence by Kavitha in Glorious Alchemy : « It is inherently difficult for the mind to grasp the concept of attributelessness, since anything we can possibly imagine is necessarily an attribute. Therefore, even the property or attribute of "nothingness" that is assigned to Siva is Sakti! ».
The Qualities of the Absolute part reminds me a lot of tte distinguishment between "supreme siddhis" vs "mundane siddhis". One comes and goes, the other creates a permanent shift
Thank you so much for these conversations. Some of the subjects discussed in this one are very resonant with my sādhanā, especially the intrinsic qualities of Presence. Yesterday I was reading the chapter about Lalitā in Sally Kempton’s book Awakening Shakti and the paragraph about the Goddess as Kundalini fascinated me, as it echoes my direct experience : « Another way Lalitā Tripurasundari reveals herself is as the emergence of pure Presence, the dynamic alive awareness that experiences life through your body and senses, and yet stands apart from it. », and later about Bliss : « In the deep states of enlightenment celebrated in the Tantras, she expresses herself as the subtle touch of bliss. (…) the Tantric philosopher Abhinavagupta taught that touch is the one sense that does not dissolve in the highest states of awareness. Instead, it morphs into a blissful presence that caresses the inner body, even when all sense of ego and even individuality has disappeared in meditative union. » Although of course the subtle blissful quality of Presence can be experienced in more mundane states of consciousness.
There's the famous christian mystical text , The Cloud of Unknowing . Perhaps the whole "apophatic" tradition is about this unknowable dimension of the Absolute . As Almass , i was also a student of the late Prof Claudio Naranjo.
Splendor ⚡️
Always hungry
Thank you 🌸
Different paths to realisation, engaging discussion
❤❤❤
Another good episode. It would be very interesting to here you talk to Chris Langan about similarities and differences between Tantra and his theory of the "CTMU"
❤❤ Thank you!
The interviewer needs to be jiggled a bit, the stiffness sort of shaken out, maybe, or loosened up. A bit tight, frozen, time for some warm-ups
In fact I recorded this interview immediately after a long day of recording an audiobook, and I didn't get time to prepare for it properly... I guess that's what you're hearing.
