Diving in the Inner Ocean

Inquiry is easily practiced on your own. In time it is important to develop the capacity to inquire into your experience yourself so that you are not dependent on always having inquiry partners or a teacher, however helpful they may be. A.H. Almaas, oneof the originators of the Diamond Approach, likens inquiry to a spacecruiser. The practice is a vehicle of inner travel through which you explore different inner worlds, galaxies and even universes. This book is intended to help you get started. It is a guide to entering the shallows of the inner world. The inner world is in some ways just like the ocean: an entire world beneath the surface of everyday living. In diamond inquiry, you directly explore your conscious experience in a way that unlocks these potentials. You consciously enter into the very palpable sense of your experience, and explore it just like a diver exploring a reef. You'll discover wondrous treasures, terrifying monsters, infinite expanses, and limitless potential and freedom--
