This Inquiry is open ended, and is used to reveal and develop the truth at its many levels and dimensions. This integration is not intended to be merely transcendent but rather to be applied in the world of daily activities. One motto of the Diamond Approach is to be in the world but not of it . This means to participate in human society, and contribute to it. At the same time, it also means to not be of the world, to not be a product of the conditioning and influences of the world, of society, but to be of the real world, the true nature, the spiritual dimension.
T here is no ideology, no belief system to follow, no special diets to adopt.
As a matter of fact, the Diamond Approach investigates all beliefs that we hold dear and helps us liberate ourselves from the shackles of such bondage. The aim is not to have beliefs about reality, but to know reality directly and with complete certainty. Beliefs are understood as obstacles that stand in our way. Although the Ridhwan Foundation is incorporated as a religious organization and its teachers carry the title of minister, the Diamond Approach works toward the experience of reality not toward the development of a belief system which must be adhered to. Many of our members continue in and deepen their understanding of the religious or spiritual tradition in which they have previously participated.
