H. Almaas, When Our Soul is Free, It Can No Longer Be Imprinted Description: A. H.

We are more fluid. In some sense, our substance is more slippery, more smooth, so things slough off easily. So, we do see it. We do experience it. But, it doesn't—like if somebody, for instance, gets angry at me and rejects me, I'm aware of it, but, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't land someplace or I feel bad about myself—you know, first of all, it has to do with the person, not with me. But, that's a mental thing. Part of it is my beingness, the very consciousness itself is now impregnated with its own original, pure presence and consciousness which cannot be imprinted. ---- #AHAlmaas #HameedAli #DiamondApproach #SelfRealization #RidhwanSchool #SpiritualDevelopment #Spirituality #Consciousness #Soul </video> <video> Tami Simon, Introducing People to the Depth of Awakening Description: Tami Simon: "...when I hear you ask that question, how it lands in me is a kind of validation of the mission that I'm on, that I want to achieve with as much inclusion of different voices ... showing the different facets of awakening through a media network." ---- 🎧 https://deeptransformation.io/tami-simon-1-waking-up-the-world-being-true-founder-sounds-true/ Visit the episode page for a summary, timestamps, and links to resources mentioned. ---- ❤️ Our podcast is a labor of love funded solely by co-hosts Roger and John.

I know what I am. That memory is not what I remember about what I am. So, it's not about self-image anymore. Self-image tells you what you learn to be. This is new kind of knowing that is called "gnosis" where there's what I call immediate knowledge. It's a new kind of knowing that most human beings don't know or are not aware we have. I'm giving you a possibility of knowing. We think of it as a capacity of the mind, but this kind of knowing is the capacity of the soul, not really the mind. It involves heart and mind together. ---- #AHAlmaas #HameedAli #DiamondApproach #SelfRealization #RidhwanSchool #SpiritualDevelopment #Spirituality #Consciousness #Soul </video> <video> A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series (Dialogue 6) – Awakening to Our True Nature Description: A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali): “When the soul becomes free of its original imprint, it becomes open to its inner potential – and inner potential is mostly spiritual potential.” ---- ❤️ Our podcast is a labor of love funded solely by co-hosts Roger and John.

H. Almaas Wisdom Series: https://deeptransformation.io/a-h-almaas-wisdom-series/ ---- In the sixth dialogue of the A. H. Almaas Wisdom Series, Hameed Ali tells us that whereas pure consciousness is already perfect and does not change or grow, individual consciousness is an impressionable organism—alive, changing, moving, developing. Hameed explains that because the soul is impressionable, the impacts of experience are imprinted upon it, shaping our very consciousness. Ego structures form from repeated impressions, and although they are necessary for survival and to function in a relational world, these structures make it difficult to experience the living presence of our true nature. We experience the ego self instead, mistaking our self-image for what we truly are. When we loosen our conditioning, with help from practices like inquiry and bodywork, our soul becomes free of its imprint and our true potential arises naturally, along with greater compassion and other qualities of the soul. Simply and clearly, Hameed brings us to a deeper understanding of our soul, elucidating what holds us to our limited self-identity and describing what we have to look forward to as the myriad imprints hammered into us by experience become diaphanous, and new impressions no longer make indelible imprints. Hameed also delves into the different ways various traditions talk about the soul, the difference between ordinary knowledge and “knowing,” or gnosis, and tells us that sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment are an artificial dichotomy, sharing a story of a sudden enlightenment experience of his own. Once again, Hameed transmits an extraordinary amount of wisdom in a relatively short time, and we emerge brighter, hopeful, and inspired as to our boundless spiritual potential.

I was like, 'I didn't even know that was there! Oh, it's there!' And it comes out on the ground, and then I'm looking at it after we've interacted." ---- 🎧 https://deeptransformation.io/tami-simon-2-waking-up-the-world-being-true-founder-sounds-true/ Visit the episode page for a summary, timestamps, and links to resources mentioned. ---- ❤️ Our podcast is a labor of love funded solely by co-hosts Roger and John. If you enjoyed this episode, please help us keep these meaningful conversations alive by supporting us through: https://deeptransformation.io/donate/ ---- Trailer Transcript: I've also had some very important interactions with two other authors through the creation of their recordings. Clarissa Pinkola Estes is a brilliant storyteller who really helped me come into the notion of original voice, and being one-of-a-kind, and never following a recipe that anyone else puts out for you; but, being your one-of-a-kind self. Then, I've also developed quite an important relationship with Caroline Myss who is a medical intuitive who has inspired me a lot really about shadow work, and seeing things that I didn't see in my own personality development. I always feel whenever I talk to her it's like I've been held by my feet and shaken upside down, and all these things come pouring out of my pockets that I didn't even know were in my pockets that were hidden somewhere deep inside a pocket of me. I was like, "I didn't even know that was there! Oh, it's there!" And it comes out on the ground, and then I'm looking at it after we've interacted.

H. Almaas, The Soul Mistakenly Believes It is the Self Description: A. H. Almaas (Hameed Ali): "...The soul believes it is the self, mistakes itself for that.

It actually forms the whole medium of consciousness, gives you shape, and form, and feeling, and ways of emoting, ways of responding, and relating, and behaving because the soul is a medium. It is a continuum of sensitivity, and that continuum becomes constrained into one particular way that we end up calling the self. The tenacity—we fight for it because the soul mistakenly... It is the soul who believes it. It is not the self. The soul believes it is the self, mistakes itself for that. So, it will fight for it because the soul wants to continue to be itself, but it believes that it is the self. ---- #AHAlmaas #HameedAli #DiamondApproach #SelfRealization #RidhwanSchool #SpiritualDevelopment #Spirituality #Consciousness #Soul </video> <video> A.

It is like a mystery. I mean, some tell you, you can call it the chameleon because it's always changing. To really experience it as a living presence is rare and not easy.
