Essence

Essence is the 'honey' or 'elixir' of enlightenment. It is that aspect of human beings which is most true, real or substantial.

The perspective of the Diamond Approach understands our spiritual nature as having many aspects or qualities like the facets of a diamond. Examples of these aspects are: Joy, Love, Will, Compassion, Peace, Clarity, Intelligence, Strength, Personal Essence and Absolute Nature.

Over the course of our lives, our contact with these various aspects of our Being is lost or dimmed to varying degrees. Students of the Diamond Approach work to rediscover and fully experience the preciousness of essence. They are engaged in a journey to the source of their true nature.
