“From the beginning of our spiritual work there is something deeper, some deep intelligence, some profound intelligence that underlies all of our human existence, in fact all of existence, that is working to reveal itself. There is a force, there is an intelligence, there is a consciousness, a dynamic, living intelligence who is inherently functioning in such a way to reveal itself. And it appears to us as our interest in liberation. It appears to us as our interest and dedication. It appears to us as the interest in practice or spiritual work. And when the insights happen, we might own them. We think, “I got the insight”, when in fact it is this force that has simply managed to get through, with a burst of light and insight.”

Almaas explores this mystery through teaching and inquiry held at Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California in January, 2012. Join in this exploration of mystery with A. H. Almaas, and experience his passionate love in this process of inquiry in presence.

Tuesday, September 25 2012 7:30pm-9pm The Jung Center 5400 Montrose Blvd Houston, TX 77006 Fee: $20 ($15 Jung Center members) Diamond Approach teacher Michael Boone offers an open-ended exploration of immediate experience. Description: How can we explore our own reality and get to know ourselves as we are? Where do we begin? In the Diamond Approach, the renowned philosopher and teacher, A. H. Almaas articulated a way to inquire into the mystery of who and what we are. This inquiry synthesizes modern psychological knowledge with meditation practices and attitudes to make possible a more comprehensive realization of our true nature. In this lecture and conversation, we will learn about and practice inquiry, a dynamic, open-ended exploration into the immediacy of our experience.

Teacher Michael Boone is a teacher in the Ridhwan School, which presents the Diamond Approach: a spiritual teaching devoted to realizing our full human potential. He has been involved in the Diamond Approach since 1981 and teaches in Boulder, Houston, and Italy.
