The Inner Beloved

“Be prepared for a thrilling and very deep dive into the heart of Divine Love. A. H. Almaas serves as a masterful guide into the very heart of existence through the call of the inner Beloved.”—Adyashanti, author of Emptiness Dancing“As I take the time to savor this book’s subtlety and abundant gems of insight for my own inner work, I am once again reminded that my wise friend A. H. Almaas knows the terrain of the heart like the back of his hand. He brings his renowned skills in inquiry fully to bear on that perennially challenging, mystical assertion that the fullness of love can never be finally attained or borne within finite form—it is always and only a straight shot into the infinite. Once properly located, however, that fullness gently returns to us as a newfound spaciousness and equanimity, illuminating and quietly suffusing our all too fervent human relational strivings.”—Cynthia Bourgeault, author of The Heart of Centering Prayer and Eye of the Heart“This exquisite book guides us—clearly, systematically, beautifully—along the path of love all the way to its ultimate source. It calls us from our usual, fickle, fragmented passions through multiple stages of healing and opening to the boundless love-bliss that has always been our deepest desire, our deepest nature, and the source of all. What a gift!”—Roger Walsh, MD, PhD, professor at University of California and cohost of the “A. H. Almaas Wisdom Dialogues” on the Deep Transformation Podcast“Almaas has given us a luminous guide to the devotional path of the heart. Rooted in his own lived realization and enriched by poetry and story, this book speaks directly to our innermost longing. Reading The Inner Beloved is like being invited into a private conversation between the soul and its deepest yearning. Almaas unfolds the path of love with honesty, precision, and tenderness, showing both its heartbreak and its ecstasy. In doing so, he offers not just teachings but an embodied transmission of the sacred eros that calls us Home. Almaas leads us from the discontent of ordinary love into the luminous mystery of the one Beloved who is the source of All. A profound contribution to contemporary spirituality.”—Sean Esbjörn-Hargens, PhD, Dean of Integral Education, California Institute for Human Science
