Brilliancy
The Essence of Intelligence
by A.H. Almaas
Brilliancy is intelligence in its broadest sense, which is an inborn part of us, that gets buried as the Ego develops. Almaas describes Brillancy in much detail in the first part of the book. The second part consists of transcripts from a seminar in which students inquire into that which blocks access to Brilliancy. This part is very instructive for learning about the Inquiry practice that's central to the Diamond Approach.
