Discover Your Truth Through Diamond Inquiry

In this course you’ll explore your inner world using a practice called Diamond Inquiry. Diamond Inquiry allows you to become more fully in touch with yourself and find clarity on your true purpose. Over the next 10 days, you’ll learn to develop a greater sense of presence and open up your experience by exploring the forces that drive us to connect, actualise ourselves and pursue certain impulses. Diamond Inquiry is the central practice of the Diamond Approach based on the work of A.H Almaas. It is as useful the first time you look inside as it is after decades of practice. Wherever you are in your journey, inquiry can help you turn inwards and find your natural next step. You will come to realise the many opportunities for growth and exploration already available to you.

Lección 1: The Living Ocean Of Your Inner World

This lesson introduces the practical basics of inquiry - when, where and how to do it on your own. You will explore the vast scope of your inner world. In today's practice we will undergo an exercise where you will dip your head into the water to see what’s appearing in your inner world.

Lección 2: Friendly Interest

You’ll find all kinds of things in your inner world. There might be some experiences you like, and some things you might prefer to fix or change about yourself. In today's lesson, you’ll discover the power of simply being friendly and interested in your inner world, whatever you find. You’ll explore some of the things that limit your friendly interest in yourself.

Lección 3: Sensing, Looking And Listening (Getting In The Water)

In this lesson you will learn the two central instructions that make Diamond inquiry so unique and powerful. You’ll also learn a key practice that enables you to immerse yourself in your inner world in a more immediate and palpable way.

Lección 4: Checking In

Inquiry involves waking up to what’s around in the flow of your inner world. In this lesson you’ll learn four main categories or dimensions of experience that you might notice as you look around. You'll practice checking in with these different elements, taking time to be in touch with them, and to recognize and find the words for what they are.

Lección 5: Diving Deeper

The surface of the inner world is what you first encounter. In this lesson you will begin diving deeper by bringing a curious, questioning attitude towards where you are. You’ll see how this can lead you right to the depths and you’ll begin trying out that kind of exploration yourself.

Lección 6: The Freedom Of Inquiry

Inquiry is so free that it is open to anything that might appear in your inner ocean. Practicing Inquiry will expand the range of your inner world. This will activate a kind of inner coast guard called the Inner Critic, that stops you from experiencing anything it doesn’t approve of. You will learn how the Inner Cristic limits your freedom and gain ideas about how to Inquire into your Inner Critic.

Lección 7: The Magic Of Inquiry

The magic of inquiry is that the very act of exploring your experience, getting in touch and understanding it, brings about a magical unfolding. In this lesson you’ll learn how to give the magic space to happen, and practice it with the Inner Critic coast guard.

Lección 8: Mind & Inquiry

Your mind includes your thoughts and the ideas and beliefs that you’ve picked up from your entire life so far, as well as the very capacity of your consciousness to be aware and to recognize what is going on. In today's lesson, you’ll learn about two challenges of this powerful capacity to learn. In the exercise, you'll explore how these challenges are active in you now and practice techniques to open up beyond their limitations.

Lección 9: Heart & Inquiry

In this lesson you’ll learn the importance of holding your experience and your feelings, and how to allow feelings and explore them without acting them out. You’ll learn the importance of staying with an experience to notice and discover more about it, and get tips on how to dive safely in the inner world.

Lección 10: Belly & Inquiry

In today's lesson, you’ll learn about the hidden dimension of experience that brings Inquiry to life in a thrilling and immersive way. The inner world can be discovered as something palpable and substantial that you can explore in a profound adventure. This turns out to be the most important element for grounding your inquiry.

I’m going to do this again soon with a friend. Lots of treasure chests of gold in this ocean, that I only got glimpses of. Even so, I find that I am present more often. 🙏

It was a great intro into Inquiry; a nice guide for checking into each center and with a invitation for curiosity that is a welcome reminder.

Very well written and presented!

Excellent course. It brings us home to our true nature by peeling back the layers in a very subtle way. It has provided me with greater depth into my inner realm where I stumbled upon great joy.
Many thanks and much love for this wonderful course

Thank you for putting together and sharing this course! I have found it to be such a terrific fit for how I naturally process things, for how my internal world works. Having the imagery you described, and having the process of Inquiry explained in the way you did, really added so much as far as providing a sturdier framework for exploring my internal world. Thank you, especially, for creating such an open and welcoming attitude for all that we encounter within.

This is a wonderful process/practice for getting deeper in touch with what’s occurring in the self that is being overlooked or disallowed.
It’s a wonderful way to become more grounded, clarify your truth, and better understand what needs your loving attention in yourself.
Thank you for this course Dominic.

Such practical tools. Very helpful.

I can't really find the words to describe how good this course is. You really learn how to dive into yourself, and that is exactly what I needed! The calm and clear voice as well the good examples are also worth to be mentioned.

This is by far one of the most valuable courses I have ever taken. I mainly practice Buddhist meditation and this course has deepened my practice. I understand and learn more about who I am and how I am, every time I use these inquiry techniques. Highly fulfilling, highly recommended. Thank you Diamond Approach and thank you Dom Lieber.

Thank you so much for this course. You brought me home 💕 its so gooood! Thank you! 🙏 namaste!

Great course to help deepen ones understanding of ones self. Thank you🙏

Content: relevant, high quality Presentation: professional, pleasant Course breakdown: well written, each day clearly addressing its own topic in logical order - extremely well done. If you happen upon this course, give yourself the gift of taking it!

A very interesting course with all sorts of new concepts and challenges to work through.

This inquiry approach is perfect for spiritual directors, counselors and others who use depth work with clients. As one who trains spiritual directors, I highly recommend this course for those of us who work with clients who want to explore their inner world and spirit, but reject religious language. This is a way in to the deep water of inner self and the mystery that some of us call God or higher power. I took a lot of notes and will use much of this to become a better spiritual director!

I loved this course. Excellent, engaging content. Thank you so much!

An extremely clear and powerful method of developing self-understanding. This approach appears to embrace psychological ideas but offers a different kind of approach that does not depend on those ideas as the substructure on which you do the work. It (this course) made me think of Jiddhu Krishnamurti who is saying something very similar to this approach but without offering any praxis. The Diamond Approach seems to offer a set of ideas about how to work with mind in a useful way. It is worth the investment of time I think, though I have had no other contact with the school to give me a further sense of its value.

All I can say is this course is going to be among the founding rocks to my self exploration in my life!!!!! Thank you thank you I plan to go back until I master my ocean within

Brilliant, engaging and insightful. Thank you very much for Shinning the light of your wisdom
