Editorial Review:
Product Description:
The keys to self-knowledge and deep contentment are right here before us in this very moment—if we can simply learn to live with open awareness. In The Unfolding Now, A. H. Almaas presents a marvelously effective practice for developing the transformative quality of presence. Through a particular method of self-observation and contemplative exploration that he calls inquiry, we learn to live in the relaxed condition of simply "being ourselves," without interference from feelings of inadequacy, drivenness toward goals, struggling to figure things out, and rejecting experiences we don't want. Almaas explores the many obstacles that keep us from being present—including defensiveness, ignorance, desire, aggression, and self-hatred—and shows us how to welcome with curiosity and compassion whatever we are experiencing.

The title of the review is a quote from the book. I have been on a mindfulness path for seven years now (a short time really!), so I have done previous readings of A.H. Almaas' books.

You can only truly know it by being it. Which means, not just mind knowing. To us Diamond Approach students, the words written in this book are felt or sensed as truth. As Ken Wilber says on the back cover, "the Diamond Approach is probably the most balanced of the widely available spiritual psychologies/therapies."

The writing is extremely clear and thought provoking in a meditative kind of way. It is helpful because it gives one a deep focus.

This last opus of Almaas doesn't bring forth anything new with regard to his others books and I found it slightly repetitive and tedious. This said, Almaas stands as a great and well-inspiring teacher and so, there's always a precious material to be extracted from his books. Therefore you will not waste your time and money if you buy and read this one.

I have read, or at least attempted five or six of this author's books. This was the only one that I found completely relevant for practice. With my Zen background, I tend to have a problem with teachers who talk up metaphysical abstractions and over intellectualizaions, (Although many Zen teachers can go too far in the other direction) and people like Ken Wilber who write massive works and seem to have everything figured out for you.
Don't get me wrong, I believe that this author stands ... Read More
