"In simple and easy steps, Dominic invites us to befriend our experience and to gently explore it through to its underlying meanings, coming to depths we have not contemplated and places we have not known in us." —from the foreword by A. H. Almaas

"Dominic has provided a beautifully written, lucid, and friendly introduction to what I see as the central practice for working with our personality and for exploring the deeper mysteries of our essential nature—the practice of inquiry. Whether you are an experienced meditator or are new to inner work, the teachings here are a treasure trove of helpful experience and insight. I enthusiastically recommend this book." —Russ Hudson, author of The Enneagram: Nine Gateways to Presence and co-author of The Wisdom of the Enneagram

"The cosmic ocean of consciousness is such a magnificent vastness—but where to begin? Are you sitting at the shore longing for a way in? Or adrift with only a memory of a rogue wave that grabbed you only to deposit you back on the sand, helpless to find your way back? Do you think the ocean of consciousness is just one thing and miss the riches it holds? With his friendly, encouraging guidance, Dominic illuminates the way to inner exploration with a heart of adventure and the wisdom of a seasoned diver. The pages drip with the presence of the sea as he sharpens our diamond inquiry skill with the innate inner resources that have all but been forgotten. He deftly points us toward the numinous presences of strength, kindness, and steadfastness and sets our curiosity free to explore uncharted waters—all of it—the sparkling, the turbulent, the surface, and the depth. He leaves no shell unturned. Better yet, you will discover all of the magical treasures hidden within each one. Dominic offers an invitation to return to our natural condition as part of that vast sea. You are fluid as an octopus and bright as the bioluminescence that lives at the mysterious depths. Come on in! The conditions are perfect for a dive!" —Karen Johnson, cofounder of the Diamond Approach and author of The Jeweled Path and co-author of The Power of Divine Eros

"A brilliant, welcoming gift to the whole world. Anyone seeking a direct experience of their authentic self will be well served by this compassionate, deeply human, and generous teaching." —James Flaherty, MCC, author of Coaching: Evoking Excellence in Others and founder of New Ventures West and Integral Coaching™

"Dominic’s book elucidating the revolutionary practice of inquiry as practiced in the Diamond Approach path is excellent. It is essential for those new to inquiry and a great enhancement for those already familiar with it." —Sandra Maitri, author of The Spiritual Dimension of the Enneagram and The Enneagram of Passions and Virtues
