H. Almaas FREE Public Book Talk & Signing by the Author Nov. 7, 2014 For more than thirty years, A. H. Almaas has been developing and teaching the Diamond Approach, a spiritual path of self-realization and maturity based on an original synthesis of modern discoveries in the field of psychology and a new paradigm about spiritual nature. If we can say the Diamond Approach has a goal it is to realize the truth at progressively deeper levels until one reaches the ultimate Truth, the Absolute, and to become integrated into that truth so that we are a living presence and embodiment of that truth. The teachings of this path have been unfolding over time, and Runaway Realization presents--for the first time in print--the highest level of teachings in the Diamond Approach in the most profound work by Almaas so far. In this book, Almaas offers a detailed look at the true nature of reality and the nature of enlightenment. He also talks about practice--what it is and what it isn't, and how practice relates to the process of realization. He looks at what it is to be a human being and what our role is in the totality of the universe. The material includes a discussion of the nature of space and time, as well as a view of more and more subtle levels of realization. "As this present book will show, even the Absolute becomes a doorway to further secrets of reality, helping us realize that enlightenment is endless." -- A. H. Almaas â€Â¢ Almaas's most profound work: In A. H. Almaas's previous books, he has carefully laid out a detailed explanation of the spiritual path of the Diamond Approach. This latest book reveals his highest level of teaching and it is the most profound work he has published to date. Everyone in his core audience will be eager to read this material. Serious practitioners of other spiritual traditions--particularly Tibetan and Zen Buddhism--will also find this book deeply appealing for the insights that it can bring to their own tradition. â€Â¢ All new material: Almaas has over a dozen books, all of which have found their way to his core audience and beyond. The material in this book has been taught at his workshops, but it has never been available in print before. â€Â¢ Well-known contemporary mystic and innovative spiritual teacher: A. H. Almaas is a widely recognized leader in integrating spirituality and psychology who has been praised by popular authors such as Ken Wilber and Jack Kornfield. Praise for the author: "The Diamond Approach is a superb combination of some of the best of modern Western psychology with ancient (and spiritual) wisdom. I recommend the Diamond Approach as probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies."-- Ken Wilber "Beyond duality and nonduality, the realizations voiced here are like the immediacy and laughter of Zen, expressions of untethered freedom beyond fixed view, the joy of letting go, embracing paradox, liberating wisdom, a gift of grace."--Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart "It's exhilarating to see a master teacher break free and clear--even of his own teaching! This book confirms suspicions that have long been growing in me and encourages me even more to trust my own inner compass as I bushwhack my way along the pathless path. Runaway Realization offers an inviting and hopeful alternative vision of the mature stages of spiritual life, served up with the author's signature clarity and a newfound note of gentleness."--Cynthia Bourgeault, author of The Wisdom Jesus
