Brilliancy: The Essence of Intelligence
The Essence of Intelligence presents A. H. Almaas talking to a live audience in Amsterdam in June, 2006, at a book signing for his just released book entitled Brilliancy. In his talk, Almaas addresses the question of how a spiritual perspective can inform our understanding of human intelligence. He describes intelligence as more than just a characteristic of functioning, more than a capacity that makes our thinking or actions effective. Intelligence is fundamentally a presence of pure consciousness, a specific perfection of our spiritual nature that we can experience directly. This quality, which Almaas calls Brilliancy, has a radiant brightness, a liquid smoothness, and an exquisite elegance that, when realized, allows it to transform our capacities and benefit all aspects of human life.

The Essence of Creativity
This 2-DVD set makes available to the public presentations by A.H. Almaas and E.J. Gold that were part of a one-day art auction and discussion in Grass Valley, California, October, 2003.

The first disk is a talk given by A.H. Almaas on the experiential nature of creativity. He takes the audience on a fascinating journey to discover why being creative is so highly revered in our culture. He sees the narcissistic side in the desire to be recognized and appreciated as special and unique, but he also looks at the deeper longing to feel connected to the outflow of dynamic creative arising. This arising is the ultimate nature of everything emerging from the selfless source—the Absolute. From this, Almaas finds that creativity is truly a combination of generosity and service when it connects us to our deepest nature.

The second disk is primarily a question and answer process between Almaas, Gold and the audience on various topics including artistic passion, creative discipline and the essential artistic experience.

Portals to the Timeless
Recorded at an exclusive full-day workshop at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center, May 6, 2001. Since our everyday experience expresses the qualities of our true nature, the precise understanding of this relationship can function as a bridge to awakening and realization. Working with the relation of true nature to ego manifestations, we can use these manifestations as portals to the timeless truths of our true nature.

Luminous Night's Journey Series

 

These videos 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®, the spiritual path which has arisen out of Almaas' work, 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 videos can be ordered individually or as a full set of eight videos.


1. 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.

2. Mystical Marriage
The process of inner transformation becomes at some point a rapproachement 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.
