The Diamond Rule

The Diamond Rule is a story of transformation that takes place mostly in the American Southwest. It moves from a ranch in New Mexico to the mountains of Colorado but extends well beyond any location. It starts with Yosh, a disillusioned young man on the brink of suicide, who changes course and finds himself on a search for understanding that leads to emotional healing and spiritual awakening. He finds these in the words, world and wisdom of Mideol, a reclusive teacher whose interwoven perspectives provide a deep sense of the powerful role that our thoughts, beliefs and assumptions play in every aspect of our lives. Theirs becomes an extraordinary partnership. While true experience is an aggregate of conscious events, it demands, by its very nature, learning, knowledge and participation. Understanding, however, involves balance, comprehension and internalization. In Bikram Dhillon's new novel, the journey to awakening is not attained through strictly academic methods, but through creative paradigms for personal and professional fulfillment. It is the totality of these things that leads Yosh to a better place; a place resonating with the rhythms of nature, which will have the reader's ear to the ground, listening for the same answers that Yosh finds in The Diamond Rule.
