Aspects of Essence

 

The concept and understanding of the aspects of Essence are unique to the Diamond Approach and key to its method. The aspects are specific qualities of Being on a personal level whose gradual dimming or loss in childhood comprise the initiative for the formation of the structure of the ego.

We begin with the study of the Lataif, the elements of subtle consciousness first introduced by the ancient Sufis. Releasing specific barriers to the aspects of Compassion, Strength, Will, Love, Peace and Space through the precise methods of the Diamond Approach leads to opening the Soul to its inner Essence.

As the process deepens, other aspects of Being, such as Love, Nourishment, Merging, Intelligence, and Existence are studied.
