The Sounds True Podcast Network. Welcome friends to the Sounds True One special on the many faces of awakening.

For the many faces of awakening, we have with us Hamid Ali.

He's the founder of the Diamond Approach and he writes under the pen name A.H. Almus. We're also joined by Zen teacher Henry Schuchmann, and let me tell you a little bit about the origin of this special event. It sounds true one.

And in that series, I learned many, many things, but one of them was it was a correction in my mind state that somehow I thought enlightenment was kind of like a place I was going to go to and land there and be a somewhere. And instead it opened my eyes to this notion of endless enlightenment, a living process of new discoveries, discoveries that who knows what they'll even be in the future.
