Audio:
Luminous Night's Journey
 These
audiotapes were produced during public talks in 1993
and 1994 in Colorado and California, during which
A.H. Almaas presented material from his personal
journal, which describes his own journey of realization
and the processes involved in integrating that realization.
Much of this material is also included in the book
Luminous Night's Journey.
The method of open inquiry which characterizes
the Diamond Approach®, is beautifully demonstrated
in these tapes. Almaas describes how his participation
in the unfolding manifestation of Being ushers him
into realms which expose and transform increasingly
deep ego structures and attachments. The Luminous
Night's Journey Series clarifies how the unveiling
of Being and the exposure of ego structures constitute
one process, leading to the soul's integrated realization
of absolute nature and the manifestation of the human
being as a personal embodiment of that nature.
The talks include additional commentary
and responses to questions from the audience that
are not included in the book. The tapes can be ordered
individually or as a full set of twelve audios.

1.
LNJ: Intimacy
The purity of self-realization of true being is not only simplicity and timelessness,
but also a fundamental aloneness. This aloneness is transcended only when self-realization
becomes intimacy with everything, as an inner clarity that is indistinguishable
from a heart in-touchness.

2. LNJ:
Objective Sorrow
True realization entails suffering, which sometimes touches others. It is not
complete without the real presence of heart-felt sorrow for all pain caused,
but more necessarily for the insincerity of oneself and other, in the forgetting
of true and essential being. 90 Minutes - Cassette - $12.00

|
3. LNJ:
The Real World
The world as we ordinarily know it is a world of lies, put together by thoughts,
concepts and beliefs. By seeing through this mental shell of the world, we can
penetrate to reality as it is, a magical world of presence and light, clarity
and freedom, where all is one, and the one contains the many.

4. LNJ:
The Absolute
Self-realization moves through dimensions of subtlety of true being, till the
soul arrives at its true home, the majestic mystery of source. This is the
absolute depth of being, beyond the conceptual and the nonconceptual, where
existence and nonexistence meet. 90 Minutes - Cassette - $12.00
|
|
5. LNJ:
Nonattachment and Mystical Poverty
One needs to see the attachment to the world and what it promises, to be able
to let go of the conceptual. But then one needs to see the soul's true poverty,
that she possesses not even existence, for one to go beyond the nonconceptual
to the mystery of absolute being.

6.
LNJ: The Beloved
We all love and value love, but our heart is usually in love with one reflection
after another of the true beloved. Only when absolute being reveals itself
with all of its beauty and grandeur in the heart of the soul, do we finally
recognize the face of the one we have always loved. The heart is then content
and the soul at peace. 90 Minutes
- Cassette - $12.00

7. LNJ: The
Soul and the Absolute
The realization of the absolute begins a dialogue between it and the individual
soul. Realization alternates between being the fathomless immensity of the absolute,
where all reality appears as its apparel; and the individual consciousness, as
a inseparable extension and expression of this mystery. 90
Minutes - Cassette - $12.00

|
8. LNJ:
The Ripening of the Soul
The realization of the absolute depth of being initiates a process of fundamental
purification of the soul, through its penetration by the absolute's dark light.
This both unifies the soul with its source, and ripens it as true mature humanity,
the rich fruit of the universe. 90 Minutes - Cassette - $12.00
|
|
9. LNJ: Mystical
Marriage
The process of inner transformation becomes at some point a rapprochement between
the soul and absolute being. This subtle process deepens and reveals the unity
of the two, until they are one, where absolute becomes body, and the soul its
face. 90 Minutes - Cassette - $12.00
|
|
10. LNJ:
Coemergence
The process of realization goes through many stages, where the individual soul
becomes increasingly integrated into absolute being. One such subtle stage
is when the soul becomes so much part of the absolute that it is its awareness,
where the absolute is mystery and soul is its awareness in the world. 90
Minutes - Cassette - $12.00
|
|
11. LNJ:
Absolute Action
Subtle and detailed discussion about the relation of absolute being and pure
awareness. This leads to the understanding of action as the dynamism of the mystery
of the absolute as it expresses itself as the changes and movements of the soul. 90
Minutes - Cassette - $1.00
|
|
12. LNJ:
Life and the Deathless
Realization of absolute being confronts us with the mystery of death, for it
is a fundamental way of dying to the world. True and impartial inquiry into the
question of death reveals our inner concerns about leaving the world. This may
usher us into the realization of the absolute mystery as a personal living in
the world. 90 Minutes - Cassette - $12.00
