"In this potent and luminous work, the master teacher A. H. Almaas brings clarity concerning the spiritual ground of Intelligence, which evokes and quickens the reader into a remembrance of her true nature. The presence of the teacher is evident in actual facilitation with his students as well as in words that themselves are transparent to transcendence."-Jean Houston, Ph.D., author of Jump Time "A. H. Almaas is one of the foremost spiritual teachers of our time. His methodology for realizing true nature is precise, teachable, and remarkably clear."-Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

Synopsis
Intelligence is one of the defining characteristics of human beings- an inherent ability to respond to the world with awareness, knowledge, learning, and insight. And though superior intelligence is seen to be a trait of a mature and developed person, there has been little consideration of the spiritual nature of this human capacity. Most considerations of human intelligence are based on the notion that intelligence is a product of brain functioning. In this book, A. H. Almaas introduces a radically different viewpoint on the nature of intelligence, which he calls the "brilliancy" of our true nature. In the initial chapters, Almaas presents his understanding of intelligence in talks addressed to his spiritual community. These are followed in the later chapters by in-depth dialogues with his students on the various barriers to recognizing and embodying this essential quality. Through these dialogues, the reader witnesses the moment-to-moment process of a workshop demonstrating the author's central practice of open-ended inquiry, known as the Diamond Approach. Using a method that draws upon the techniques of body-centered, Gestalt, psychodynamic, and cognitive psychotherapies, Almaas leads each participant into the heart of his or her own experience at the levels of sensation, imagery, and meaning. This process helps participants to work through their defenses and conflicts around an issue and then, diverging from psychotherapeutic practice, guides them in discovering their own brilliancy., Intelligence is one of the defining characteristics of human beings: an inherent ability to respond to the world with awareness, knowledge, learning, and insight. Most considerations of human intelligence are based on the notion that intelligence is a product of brain functioning. A. H. Almaas introduces here a radically different viewpoint, one that recognizes an actual quality of consciousness as the source of intelligence. He calls this source the Brilliancy of our true nature. The presentation of his understanding of intelligence is followed by in-depth dialogues with his students on the various barriers to recognizing and embodying this essential quality. In particular, an unresolved relationship with one's father is found to shape the experience of Brilliancy. Using a Socratic method that draws upon techniques of body-centered, Gestalt, psychodynamic, and cognitive psychologies, Almaas helps participants work through their defenses and conflicts surrounding this issue and then, diverging from pychotherapeutic practice, guides them in discovering their own Brilliancy.
