Spirituality and Psychoanalysis documents an all-day conference exploring the meeting ground between these two disciplines. Hameed Ali was a featured guest who shared the podium with Zen Priest, Dianne Musho Hamilton, and Peter Carnochan, Charles Dithrich and Karen Peoples of the psychoanalytic community. In his presentation that opens the day, Hameed has the opportunity to articulate the way he sees the Diamond Approach to spirituality drawing on the understandings of psychoanalysis, as well as going beyond them. Later, there is discussion between members of the panel and then questions from audience members to the panel. This is an unusual and fascinating context to experience Almaas in dialog with psychoanalytic practitioners—something he has been interested in since he wrote his Diamond Mind books, such as The Pearl Beyond Price and The Point of Existence.

The Now of All Times
This video is of the public talk given by A. H. Almaas at St. Johns Presbyterian Church on July 18, 2008 to introduce his new book, The Unfolding Now.
In this DVD, Almaas discusses the method of the Diamond Approach as a practice of "being where you are." It is a way to allow, accept and enter into whatever we are experiencing in the moment as contrasted to other spiritual methods designed to alter the individual's current state or promote the development of a certain realized condition. In this approach, being where you are becomes a spiritual path of inner "non-doing" that is integral to daily life rather than a spiritual practice that only occurs in a particular context in one's life.

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.

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. 90 minute DVD - Zero Region (NTSC/PAL hybrid) - $25.00

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.

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.
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.
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.

3.
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.

4.
Coemergence - Limited
Supply
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.

5.
Absolute Action - Limited

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.

6.
Life & the Deathless- Limited
Supply
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.

8. 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.
