What I find particularly attractive about the Diamond Approach is that it takes its attitude of "allowing everything to be there exactly how it is" really seriously. When I started working with my first teacher in the Diamond Approach it took me a while to really grasp that he meant it, when he was inviting me to just really look at what is there--not in certain parameters, not filtered by anything, not just some things, but not others--he really encouraged me to let it all be there. That was the very first taste of real genuine freedom that I ever experienced in my life, and it keeps inspiring me to continue inquiring--no matter what presents itself.
