The Dimension of Lataif
Essence in its most delicate and sublime manifestation
“Lataif” in Arabic means subtle, sublime, refined, and thus defines the manifestation of Essence in its most delicate aspect.
The five Lataif, with which we begin our work, open us up to fundamental Essential Qualities which allow us embark on the journey into Essence with a solid foundation.
White Lataif, Essence of Will;
Red Lataif, Essence of Force;
Green Lataif, Essence of Compassion;
Black Lataif, Essence of Peace;
Yellow Lataif, Essence of Joy.
We will learn to recognize the intrinsic characteristics of each quality: their color, consistency, and the effects they have on us, as well as the sensations they evoke in our body and state of mind.
Through this exploration, we will also learn to recognize and remove the psychological issues that block their flow.
These qualities have been within us since birth, but very often they have not been adequately reflected, supported, and encouraged. We have learned to distort them in order to adapt to our family environment and conform to what was required to gain acceptance and love.
The DLT teachings offer us the tools to understand how and why we have distorted our essence and restore its natural space. This allows us to once again enjoy these qualities in our daily lives and continue to evolve both humanly and spiritually.

The Path of the true Self
The Diamond Logos is based on a profound understanding of the human being, their true nature, and their potential, and it invites a way of life that reflects and develops its intrinsic essential qualities.
During the work, every aspect of the teaching is presented and integrated on different cognitive levels: mental, emotional, and physical.
The transmission of qualities is the essential part of the work and is completed with experiential exercises, self-inquiry, gentle bodywork, dance, singing, and meditation.
The investigation and discovery of the Self are carried out with curiosity, openness, and honesty towards what is revealed and lived in the experience of the moment.
We explore states of mind, thoughts, and behaviors in relation to the different essential qualities and related themes.
We learn to carefully and precisely recognize the identifications, projections, and false representations of the personality and to distinguish them from our Essential Self.
The basic elements of the work are: Presence, Awareness, and Compassion.
These qualities open us to an essential view of the exploration:
they allow us to perceive and objectively observe the reality of our experience;
they allow us to identify and recognize the obstacles that have solidified in our personality and to understand their intrinsic structure;
they reveal the emotional meanings of our existence.
