The unique self and the pearl beyond price

In Reference to:
The Unique Self

Im really glad that Marc mentions Sufism and quotes Hafiz toward the beginning of the talk. This topic is illumined beautifully by A.H. Almaas in the book Pearl Beyond Price: Integration of Personality into Being, an Object Relations Approach  He starts with the idea that Divinity is both personal and impersonal, and we manifest the personal aspect of God as our own unique self.  He also comments on many ancient Sufi stories and The word of Jesus of Nazereth to illustrate that this knowledge is fleshed out quite a bit in the traditions.  Although, his strongest influences are Gurdjieff and Transpersonal Psychology.  Did anyone else think of Almass and Diamond Approach when they listened to this dialog?
