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 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.
In this episode, Faisal emphasizes the seriousness of the spiritual journey and the potential dangers that can arise when activating one's essence. He warns us against spiritual window shopping and emphasizes the need for a teacher and a healthy setting to navigate the challenges that may arise.
Faisal also discusses his intention behind revealing the essential domains and qualities in these interviews, hoping to familiarize people with their own spiritual inheritance.
Faisal acknowledges the power of knowledge and the potential harm it can cause if not approached with wisdom and groundedness.
Faisal and Shelley discuss the concept of spirituality and its practicality in daily life. They emphasize the need to humanize spirituality and integrate it into all aspects of our being.
Faisal explains that spirituality is not an abstract or elitist concept, but rather a necessity for balancing the mind, body, psyche, and spirit. He compares spirituality to air, stating that just as we need to breathe, we also need to connect with our spirit. Faisal shares about his believes that spirituality is about enlivening and evolving our existence, rather than transcending it, discussing the different aspects of our being, such as the soul, spirit, and higher self, and how they relate to virtues and qualities. He also highlights the importance of speech, action, and intention in the spiritual path, and how they can lead to healing and well-being. Overall, the goal is to open our hearts and minds to the potential of spirituality and its ability to enhance our humanness.
In this interview Faisal describes the fundamental pillars of the Diamond Logos Teachings. According to his understanding, the "Magical holistic Kingdom" consists of three realms: the absolute, the essential and the material. These three realms constantly interweave and form our reality. Accordingly, we have three kinds of selves: the Ego-self to act in relation to the material word, the Essential self (Point of Light), which is our true self, and Selfhood, which is the absolute. Included in this view are three types of consciousness (subjective everyday consciousness, objective consciousness/diamond body and pure awareness) three types of bodies (material body/form, essential body/stupa and "non-body" in Being) and three types of teachings.
Once these three dimensions are in balance the Magical holistic Kingdom reveals itself.
In this conversation, Faisal describes the different levels of consciousness, from ordinary consciousness to the diamond consciousness. The diamond consciousness is a heightened state of consciousness that allows for clarity, focus, integration, and differentiation. Faisal also mentions the Diamond Body, which provides knowledge and guidance, and the Diamond Dome, which allows for a panoramic view and infinite possibilities. He then introduces the concept of pure awareness, which is undifferentiated and related to the crystal dimension.
Faisal emphasizes the importance of embracing all dimensions of consciousness and warns that the journey to awakening can be challenging but worth it.
Faisal explains that everyone is searching. In general, they strive for power, money, fame, luck, relationship and other achievements, but they do not fulfill them. What is really sought are essential qualities of the soul. The essential dimension includes finer energies, with different colors, firmness, tastes and effects. Essences are also the cause of joy, peace, strength or compassion. When these qualities are lost in childhood, a “hole” forms which we try to replace with worldly things und patterns. By investigating the psychological history, breathing work, physical relaxation and other techniques, essence can be brought back to flow.
This interview is about inner vision and how this ability differs from the material senses. If the inner vision is awakened, a great wealth of visions, colors, sounds, tastes etc. is revealed. Faisal tells how he discovered this ability in himself and was even able to cure a friend from a paralysis. After exploring those different aspects, they named them “Lataif”, the perceptible “scent of essences”. The essences themselves come from an own dimension, which is located between the Absolute and the material world.
