Consciousness, Soul, And Who We Are with A. Hameed Ali - aka A. H. Almaas

MP3 Download

What is a soul? What is a human being? What is reality? For over two decades, A. H. Almaas has been exploring these questions by developing the Diamond Approach®, a wholly original and integrative spiritual path that draws on the insights of Sufism, Buddhism, Gurdjieff, and other wisdom traditions, and combines those insights with the empirical lessons of modern psychological research. “If I am going to know the earth, I want to know it more from my heart, not through a microscope.” (hosted by Michael Toms)
