The Diamond Body:
The Different Facets of the Inner Guide
The Diamond Body is the vehicle for objective understanding and knowledge of Reality. It is the manifestation of our inner Guide, our inner guru or master. With its capacity for understanding, clarity, and neutrality, it guides us to recognize the conditioning and programs of our unconscious and to transform our consciousness into a vehicle for objective knowledge. By accessing the guidance of the Diamond Body, we open ourselves to understanding what it means to be truly aware and free from the influence of the past, and how to make ourselves available for the discovery and revelation of the beauty of the different Essential Dimensions of Being. By cultivating the Diamond Body, we learn to remain present, neutral, and clear in the face of various inner or daily life events. It shows us the way out of the confusion and sense of loss we experience in the twisted labyrinths of the personality and lovingly guides us toward our innate Truth.
“Each of us brings a unique contribution to humanity, and I hope this work inspires you to connect with your inner guide and bring your unique gifts to the world. May you discover the power and beauty of your true self, and may you walk this path with courage and grace.” — Faisal Muqqadam.
The devoted commitment to the love for truth for its own sake and the natural orientation toward discovery and learning make the Diamond Body not only an aspect of the Essence but also one of the pillars of the DLT Work. During the journey of discovery, the DB reveals itself to be the most reliable and valuable companion in gently and sensitively discerning the false from the true, in showing how conditioning distances you from your Light, and in pushing you beyond everything your mind already knows until it reveals who you truly are
Some Extracts from Faisal on the Diamond Body
The Diamond Body is the mechanism inside you that guides you to where you need to go, teaches you the things you need to learn, and directs you toward the activity you need to undertake. The guide helps you find what is hidden in the unconscious and reveals it to you, opening your consciousness—this is the angel of revelation. This is not about revealing hidden messages of prophetic proportions from God, though it could, and that would be wonderful. But God is also your very Essence, your intimate Being. The Diamond Body will reveal knowledge to you in a much simpler, more direct way; it reveals exactly what is there, without religious overtones.
The guide is not just an aspect of the Essence but also the central principle of how we work in the Diamond Logos Teachings. There is a specific way we work with ourselves, which is by allowing the guiding part of ourselves to take over. When this part of us is activated, it can guide us through life’s journey. As I said, our ordinary subjective consciousness is not reliable; you cannot trust your ordinary subjective consciousness. It’s fickle, it runs away from difficult experiences, it’s full of changing interests, unstable, and in constant evolution. Furthermore, our ordinary subjective consciousness cannot go deep into the unconscious; it gets lost, it lacks the power to be present when the unconscious opens up. It immediately identifies with the self-image or gets scared by some intense feelings or unconsciously runs after this or that desire. Therefore, our ordinary subjective consciousness does not have the capacity to remain steady and present in the face of intense experiences.
Buried in every person’s unconscious are intense feelings. When the unconscious opens, we need something much more solid than our ordinary subjective consciousness to guide us. One might ask: why approach the unconscious if so many negative feelings are stored there? In our work, we must go to the unconscious because it is the unconscious that prevents us from feeling connected to reality. Reality is the source of wholeness, authenticity, and our intrinsic happiness that has no reason.
Between us and essential reality is this layer of our unconscious. The unconscious contains our childhood programming; it is the unconscious that leads us into reactivity, into the mind, into illusion. Nothing else takes us out of reality except for the programming that was recorded in our body, psyche, and soul during our childhood. To transform the childhood programming stored in the unconscious, we need a very concrete type of consciousness, one that can be stable and present when the emotional storm opens up, when problems emerge.
If you have cultivated your Diamond Body and an intense feeling of fear surfaces, you are still there. If deep sadness emerges, you are still there. If darkness and the fear of death emerge, you are still there. To transform the childhood program stored in the unconscious, a very stable and objective type of consciousness is needed. This small ordinary subjective consciousness flees if something scares it, if it feels something it doesn’t like, it will resist. Ordinary subjective consciousness is not reliable; it is not a good tool when working with the shadow. It cannot be present when issues open up in the unconscious. When we face negative states, we need help, we need reliable support that helps us travel into the subtle dimensions of our being.
We therefore want to activate the objective aspect of our consciousness that has the capacity to remain present and stable, no matter what happens.
The Diamond Body is scheduled as an in-person retreat from 05/30 to 06/02 at the OMC in Bibbona (LI).
