Oops, my "review" seems to have gone to some comment place. So, I'll repeat it. I thought this book clearly explained how we lose our essence as our personality developes and how we can go about remembering our essence again. I have the second book of this series and will be starting it soon.

Almaas at his most accessible. His brand of spiritual depth psychology explained in simple and insightful terms.

very deep books
As spiritual practice goes, AH Almaas writes the most accessible books for everyday living. Perhaps this writing isn't as useful to someone that hasn't worked with a group or teacher, whether it's Zen or some other meditative practice, but there is still much to gain from reading it.
Almaas has written many books, but the five books in the Diamond Heart series are among the best. I continue to read them and gain insight every time.
Don't miss this opportunity.

Haven't quite finished this one but it's a seminal work by a unique teacher, who seems very successful at integrating spiritual wisdom with modern depth psychology. This is a guy who seems to have figured a few things out, rather than regurgitating the usual aphorisms and spiritual pablum. Highly recommended.
Excellent. It's rambly at times since the book is transcribed from Almaas' talks, and he's definitely rambly, but very good stuff nonetheless.
Psychology meets enlightenment spirituality! Amazing stuff!
