Shine Like A Diamond

"When true nature has not only force and power and energy and presence but also contains understanding and illuminated cognition, then it attains a diamond-like quality, experienced as objectivity, clarity, and precision. This is what I call the philosophers’stone, the lapis philosophorum of the alchemists. They thought that whoever found the philosophers’stone would be able to unlock all the secrets of existence. The stone has all the qualities and faculties necessary to illuminate and discriminate reality, to distinguish what is false and what is true."

-- A. H. Almaas, The Alchemy of Freedom
