"The diamond is considered the most precious of all stones. And yet, in terms of its origin, what is a diamond? Carbon, ugly, black carbon which, by means of transformation under the effects of tremendous pressure and extremely high temperatures, becomes a diamond. Well, it could be said that the history of the diamond is that of the initiate. Perhaps he too starts out as simple carbon, but thanks to the enormous pressures he has had to undergo (his trials) and the high temperature he has borne within him (his love), he has become a diamond, a pure, sparkling light. And even if he still lives here on earth in his physical body, on the spiritual plane he can be found set in the crown of an angel, an archangel, or a divinity. "
