Diamond Issues
A diamond issue is an ego issue that results from identification
with ego. Its presence is inseparable from ego identifications,
regardless of how pathological or healthy the ego structure is.
Only the severity of the issue is determined by the particular
personal history. (The Pearl Beyond Price, pg 368)

Since it is a process of moving from ego to Being, the process
of inner realization deals largely with diamond issues. All the
major emotional issues and conflicts we have discussed in this
book are diamond issues. They are characteristic of ego structure,
and do not necessarily reflect mental pathology. (The Pearl Beyond
Price)
