Advanced Teachings on Spiritual Awakening, Freedom, and the Mystery of Consciousness In the early 1990s, A.H. Almaas had a realization he was not expecting—even after years of deep inner awakenings. “I thought it was a personal experience, not a teaching,” he reflects. Now, after two...

Whether we call it the inner critic, superego, or just plain nag, most of us have a "judge within" who's constantly on our case. A comprehensive guide to understanding how the inner critic works, this book offers practical, positive suggestions for breaking free of it. Using straightforward language and examples from everyday life, Byron Brown shows: Where the inner judge came from. How it operates. Why it trips us up. Why we believe we need it. How to develop awareness of it. How to disengage from it.

Love is a transformative aspect of the spiritual path—and, in fact, it is our very nature. A. H. Almaas takes us on a journey beyond a narrow, individual understanding of love to an exploration of what he calls the boundless dimension of Divine Love. This is not the kind of love that we feel toward somebody else; it is nondual, a love without boundaries. Or put another way, it is universal true nature experienced as love.

In The Inner Beloved, A. H. Almaas guides us on a transformative journey of the heart. With poetic insight, personal reflection, and practical exercises, he shows how the search for love leads us through emptiness and into a luminous darkness—a place where the mind is confounded, but the heart awakens to a passionate love for the unknown. As we surrender to this mystery and discover the unity of lover and Beloved, we feel a complete intimacy with the fundamental truth of reality, allowing us to rest in the deepest fulfillment possible.

Just as we need a mirror to see our own face, there are aspects of our true self that we can only come to know when they are reflected to us by another. Now you can experience two exceptional spiritual teachers as they engage in a dialogue about the power of sacred relationship as a vehicle for...

More than just a tool to diagnose your personality type, the Enneagram was originally developed to help people find the ultimate freedom of consciousness and achieve spiritual liberation. A. H.

Liebe ist eine universelle Energie - und eine primäre Kraft, die unsere Bewegung hin zur spirituellen Erleuchtung antreibt. Jedes unserer Bedürfnisse nach Liebe ist einfach eine Widerspiegelung unseres Bedürfnisses nach spirituellem Wachstum. A. H. Almaas erforscht drei Dimensionen der Liebe: die wertschätzende Liebe - die wahrhaftige Liebe für jemanden oder etwas; die verschmelzende oder verbindende Liebe - die Kraft, die das Getrenntsein wegschmilzt; und die leidenschaftliche, ekstatische Liebe - die in der Lage ist, uns von innen heraus zu verzehren.
