In this conversation, Faisal Muqaddam explores the concept of “Soul Stations,” describing it as the unique qualities and essential attributes that shape each individual soul. He suggests that every soul carries a particular “flavor” or contribution to the world—one that can evolve across lifetimes.
Faisal reflects on how this uniqueness expresses itself through purpose, karma, and grace, and how souls are born into specific life circumstances that both challenge and support their unfolding. Using figures such as Dalai Lama, he illustrates how certain soul qualities—like compassion—can become a living expression in the world.
The conversation also touches on the influence of family dynamics on the development of the soul, highlighting how unresolved family patterns can obscure or divert a soul’s natural expression. Faisal emphasizes the importance of recognizing and supporting the unique qualities of children, and of doing our own inner work so that the soul can fully blossom and live its deeper purpose.
In this episode, Faisal Muqaddam explores the concept of ego deficiency and its deep connection to the family field and the soul. He describes how feelings such as shame, fear, anxiety, and rage can permeate our entire inner system—what he vividly refers to as “octopus feelings.”
Faisal explains how the ego’s sense of deficiency often shows up in everyday life: feeling inadequate in new situations, relationships, or environments. He traces the roots of this experience back to early interactions with our surroundings, where criticism, judgment, or lack of attunement may have been absorbed.
The episode also touches on primary narcissism, understood as a deep wound linked to our disconnection from the soul or inner point of light. Faisal suggests that true healing does not come from the ego itself, but from reconnecting with the divine dimension and opening to the experience of divine love.
In this conversation, Faisal and Shelley discuss the concept of the Super Ego, which they define as an inner voice that is constantly critical and judgmental. Faisal explains that this voice can be damaging and misleading, often leading individuals to feel inadequate or deficient.
He suggests various ways to counteract this voice, such as cultivating anger against it, developing a sense of humor, and allowing oneself to feel hurt.
Faisal also discusses the importance of replacing the Super Ego with positive structures, such as the ethical kingdom, which spontaneously arises within individuals and resonates virtues and love. Faisal also warns against completely eliminating shame, arguing that a healthy sense of shame is necessary to prevent sociopathic behavior.
Faisal discusses the concept of enlightenment and its limitations. He argues that enlightenment is often defined as a specific experience of awakening from our minds and seeing our basic nature. However, this definition can limit our understanding of enlightenment and create a prejudice that separates enlightenment from non-enlightenment.
Faisal suggests that even illusions and thoughts are real and part of our enlightened nature. He also discusses the concept of the self, arguing that we each have a unique self or soul made of light, which is often neglected in spiritual teachings.
Faisal emphasizes the importance of recognizing and nurturing this self, rather than focusing solely on reaching the absolute or transcendent state of enlightenment. He also discusses the three realms of consciousness, teachings, and identities, which are interconnected and coexisting.
During this episode you will listen to Faisal experiences and insights on spirituality and personal development, where he emphasizes the importance of humanizing spirituality, which he believes has become inaccessible and elitist over time.
Faisal discusses his own spiritual awakening and the teachings he received from Tibetan gurus, which helped him realize the simplicity and accessibility of enlightenment.
Faisal also talks about the importance of integrating spirituality into our daily lives and bodies, and the transformative power of this process.

Faisal presents about different types of love such as protective love, nourishing love, appreciative love, and passionate love. He also talks about the concept of the "jewel heart", a state of being where all qualities of love come together, and emphasizes the importance of self-love and the healing power of divine love.

In this conversation, Faisal discusses the complex and subtle aspects of the ego and its structures, comparing it to a bubble or a pea with various layers.
He explains that these layers are built around different losses and attempts to regain what was lost, with each layer holding a memory of a certain loss.
Faisal also talks about the concept of the Speck, a small piece of essence that the ego has been protecting. He suggests that this speck is a piece of the soul's station, the quality that is most dominant in that soul.
Faisal argues that the ego is willing to surrender when it realizes that it is preserving a piece of the soul's station. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of acknowledging the point of light and helping it evolve as the path of salvation for humanity.
Faisal talks about the major aspects of being, focusing on the Buddha Nature or the Absolute nature of mind. He explains that this nature is a field with many capacities, but it is not defined by these capacities. He warns agains labeling this nature, as it can limit understanding and experience.
In this episode, Faisal also introduces the conceptof the Point of Light, which he says resides in the human heart. This point of light gives meaning to our experiences and allows us to differentiate between them. It is responsible for our feelings and direct knowing.
The third aspect Faisal discusses is the Diamond body, which further differentiates our experiences and allows usto classify and systematize them. However, when the mind and ego take over, this can lead to belief systems and limitations.
Faisal emphasizes the importance of recognizing and harmonizing these three aspects of Being - The Absolute, The Point of Light, and The Diamond Body.
In this interview Faisal discusses the concept of the "Point of Light", which he describes as a self that is different from the ego self and the body self.
The Point of Light is an individuated being that is perceived as a body of energy or light.
Faisal believes that everyone is born as a Point of Light or an "inner star", and that this light evolves and changes over time.
In this interview the paradox of surrender and mastery in spiritual growth it’s been discussed by Faisal and Shelley.
Faisal explains that the journey is not about choosing one over the other but rather understanding that both exist simultaneously. He emphasizes that reality is based on duality, and that conflicting elements can harmonize and work together.
Faisal suggests that surrendering is about going with the flow, while mastery involves asserting one's free will, even if it risks conflict with reality.
Faisal argues that both surrender, and mastery are necessary for spiritual evolution, and that individuals should strive to balance both in their journey.
In this interview, Faisal discusses the concept of the human ego and its connection to narcissism, suggesting that every individual is preoccupied with a sense of self, which is not satisfied even when one reaches the absolute realization of selfhood.
Faisal explains that the ego is developed by an authentic self, which struggles with the environment and develops an identity and becomes trapped in the ego structure, leading to a preoccupation with self-improvement and a lack of spontaneity and evolution.
Faisal also suggest that the journey of the soul is to recognize our quest to be God and goddess again, reaching the authentic self. He explains that when the ego dissolves, the individual can transition from narcissism to altruism. He concludes by stating that the soul continues to evolve and mature, and thatthere is no end to this maturation.
Faisal discusses his fascination with the concept of 'logos', a term referring to knowledge that is said to be hidden from humanity and preserved by certain lineages and shares hisexperiences with chanting mantras and how it transformed his mind, emotions, and body into the frequency of the quality he was invoking. Faisal also explains that this knowledge is believed to be about the power of speech andthe creation of the universe through sound and letters and expresses his hope that this knowledge will be revealed in the future, as he believes it could provide answers to many philosophical, scientific, and spiritual questions.
Faisal explains his understanding of the essential states, which he describes as frequencies that can be detected and measured, and shares his personal experiences and how they have affected his consciousness and perception. Faisal believes that these states are manifestations of a higher frequency field, which can be condensed and transformed into different substances.
In this episode Faisal discusses the relationship between anxiety and essence, suggesting that different typesof anxieties are linked to the loss or blockage of different qualities of essence, which he describes as different energies or states of being.
Faisal argues that understanding and addressing these blockages can lead to healing of these anxieties.
Faisal discusses the concept of essence as a healing agent. He explains that essence is related to the body and the loss of certain qualities can result in both psychological and physical ailments. Faisal gives an example of tiredness, explaining that it can be caused by a lack of red essence, which is associated with vitality and energy. He also discusses how the development of essence can be hindered during childhood, particularly during the separation phase, leading to anxiety and other issues. Faisal emphasizes the importance of understanding and cultivating essential states for healing. He suggests that in the future, frequencies of essential states could be used as a form of treatment.
Faisal also discusses the idea that all beings are born with a fullness of essence, but it can become obscured over time. Faisal concludes by urging individuals to embrace their essence and the potential for giving and shining their light in the world.
Faisal and Shelley discuss the journey of spiritual growth and self-discovery. Faisal emphasizes the importance of looking inward for fulfillment and happiness, rather than seeking it in material possessions or external sources. He suggests that much of human suffering is due to people looking for answers in the wrong places. Faisal also highlights the importance of personal power, discipline, knowledge, and the role of teachers in spiritual growth. He warns against the dangers of guru worship and emphasizes the need for a supportive community or 'sangha'. Faisal also discusses the challenges of the spiritual journey, including loneliness and the struggle with personal issues. He concludes by stressing the importance of maintaining human connections and not misinterpreting spiritual teachings to mean complete detachment from the world.
In this interview Faisal talks about the three ways in which people learn, understand and perceive: through the head, the heart and the belly. The head-oriented people (numbers 5, 6 and 7 in the Enneagram) have a very developed mind. They gather knowledge and are fascinated by it and learn in this way. The heart-oriented people (number 2, 3 and 4) are emotional. They understand when they connect to a feeling about something. They “understand” through music, images and visualization. The belly-oriented people (number 8, 9, and 1) loves the body and sports such as Qigong, Aikido or Tai-Chi. They may like Zen, because that way they can sense the suchness of things. The different intelligences are equivalent. The diamond body or objective consciousness endows us with inner guidance and distance from these typical modes of perception. Thus, it becomes possible to learn through all three centers. In time the heart balances all three.
Shelley and Faisal discuss how understanding psychology can help us experience essence more fully. Faisal emphasizes the importance of the knowledge about the human psyche and its relationship to the body that has been gained in recent times. He explains that through the developmental stages in childhood, we may have lost our connection to our spiritual domain and essence.
Faisal describes different stages of development and the dominant qualities that emerge at each stage, such as the tendency to melt and relax in infancy, the energy for mobility and action in early childhood, and the willful and assertive stage in toddlerhood.
He also mentions the importance of preserving positive essential states and addressing any blockages or armoring that may occur. Faisal believes that the knowledge of psychological development and bodily armoring can help retrieve essential states and facilitate spiritual evolution. He emphasizes the need for individuals to awaken and cultivate wisdom, humanness, love, stillness, and silence. Overall, Faisal believes that understanding psychology and working with the body can help individuals integrate their essence and experience spiritual growth.
In this episode, Shelley and Faisal explore various ways of learning and the development of the mind, soul, and body. Faisal points out that the mind evolves through the cultivation of knowledge, allowing for a deeper understanding of reality and highlights the "upgrade" of the mind towards its true nature, which is enlightenment.
On the other hand, the Soul learns not only through knowledge but by emulating qualities such as compassion.
Faisal emphasizes the body's importance in this process, suggesting practices like bioenergetics and breathwork to release blockages and facilitate learning. He expresses hope for a global awakening towards a more united community and the necessity for change, despite current challenges in the spiritual realm. He also mentions the potential increase in frequencies in the universe that will promote evolution and transformation.
