What a beautiful, gentle being Faisal is - so glad to have this video interview. What a blessing. This gentleman from Kuwait is an illustration of the beauty that is in every land, everywhere. May our prejudice cease and fade away in the Light that shines from such souls. Thank you for being, for pursuing your dreams, Faisal. You are a gem. I love to hear from those who know divine Love is of the heart ~♥~

3:53AM could not sleep and came into this beautiful conversation that so deeply and gracefully touch my inner self. ✨🙏🏻✨

Great interview indeed .Faisal is sweet :) I had the blessing of studying with Prof. Naranjo for 10 years ( besides Kashmir Shaivism before him and Tibetan Buddhism parallel to SAT ) , and now , after more than 20 years journeying ( i'm 40 ) , i understand what Faisal is talking about . I don't know if he mentions Jung and uses junguian concepts in his aproach , but that's how the 'path of salvation' , the individuation process , came to me( together with the Western Mystery Tradition) .Anyway , loving and very interesting interview , Ian .Thank you , thanks Faisal .

Many people talking about this idea these days with the key phrase being embodiment or embodied awakening including my own approach Trillium Awakening (also Waking Down in Mutuality). Faisal just says it with the incredible discrimination that comes from his part of the world. Beautiful.

Pure truth. Pure love. Thank you.

the right words at the right time, that's grace presence manifesting through a beautiful soul. Blessings from the heart of the heart

Very very inspirational and illuminating. Let's embrace our humanity, the persona we are in this lifetime is a one-shot deal! You have an extremely soothing and mesmerizing voice Faisal. I love your take/perspective on the ego. We could profit by giving it serious consideration. What if the magic and miracle of awakening is wholeheartedly embracing and experiencing being a unique human being? Wow, how fresh and enlightening. The endless journey unfolds... Thank you Faisal and Iain/conscioustv.

Amazing wisdom.. Thanks Conscious tv and Faisal 🙏🙏🙏

I love it! He is speaking out of my soul! Thank you so much!

fabulous interview, intact one of the bestow here. It's wonderful to see the range of play from absolute to the relative without anything being excluded. BRAVO Sir!

Between Hameed, Johnson and Faisal, other teachers rarely seem to measure up for me anymore. Except for Naranjo. I love his works. Faisal seems just so genuine and direct. He very much gets to exactly why I can't stand Vedanta.

They're overly fixated on the macrocosm as opposed to the microcosm. I'm more interested in the personal essence or pearl or sage, or true person rather than being the cosmic Brahman, or staying cosmic. As one said has said: I don't want to be sugar, I want to taste sugar.

@David Bell: Your points are well taken against most Vedanta. But I don't think the Ridhwan school escapes such criticism either, as Faisal discusses at 48:44 . . .

Beautiful! Thank you for this wonderful interview. Faisal Muqaddam's view provides a loving place for the ego in the nondual universe of self-denying egos seeking their own obliteration into "oneness."

Beautiful. It really speaks to the process of realization and integration from a very heartfelt place.

Such a loving, humble and inspiring human being. Great interview.

Claus V Nielsen I totally agree...I feel lucky I stumbled into this interview. finally I see a spiritual teacher who is not spaced out, and that make me relate to him on a human level.

I enjoyed this, the analogy of becoming the impeccable warrior who has to push through the suffering, facing the ultimatum of enlightenment or death. I find it funny how suffering reveals itself to be the necessary catalyst to move from head to heart, and to top it all off we were already enlightened! 'The fish in the water is thirsty' - Kabir Lovely talk.

Wow! This really blew my mind... Incredible interview

This is my favourite of your interviews so far; beautiful human story. On a completely unrelated note, Faisal Muqaddam reminds me a *lot* of Alberto Del Rio.

wow, at first, my mind was telling this is going to be boring and then it just got better and better. there were alot of take aways but the best one was his idea of the ego being part of the soul. I started to think this way a couple of months ago but could not find any reference anywhere. Iain: you and your wife are good beings may the universes bring you both joy and peace.

Be far my favorite interview, can't wait to learn more from you both🙏

Very interesting and inspiring. I love your take/perspective on the ego. We could profit by giving it serious consideration. This came to me while listening.

Thank you so much for this interview!!!

Wow, eye opener, beautiful teachings

Awesome interview. Iain McNay, please have Faisal again to expand on the lataif, which you wanted him to go into detail towards the end of the interview, but didn't.

@Manu Poosah: Have you ever noticed that no one seems to talk about the Lataif at length, putting their significance into context (?) If you google "lataif" . . . there's less information available about them than one would expect for their comparative importance. Sort of odd . . .

@Brian Harris: Sure -- that's traditional (even if problematic to justify in this day and age). I was just supporting the OP's comment: it would have been useful for a lot of viewers if McNay's priorities had been different and viewers had gotten something more specific about the Lataif from this video. ALSO: of course, you never know what you don't know, so there could be useful untranslated materials available about the Lataif out there somewhere. But I'm inclined to think not. Instead, I think the Lataif are for some reason massively misunderstood and underappreciated even in Sufi literature (compared to, say, the Chakras or Chi in Indian and Chinese literature). Ala ud-Daula Simnani's account of the Lataif, for example, is experientially almost unrecognizable. And even Idries Shah, who in contrast gets the general characteristics right (colors and locations), turns out to only know them second hand and not from any personal experience . . .

@ 19.02 did you say Tarthang Tulku Rinpoche? thank you

I find this trust in enneagrams confusing. Not so much the system in itself., but how there doesn't seem to be a basic consent on what the numbers mean. Each 'enneagram teacher' seems to have very different views on the meaning of the numbers.

I want to meet him

Not really~ Faisal has been saying this since he and Hameed were working together in the late 70's~ he has shared this info in his classes throughout the years...! I'm thinking, oh have I heard this many dozens of times over the decades, glad it is now recorded!!!

why does he have prayer beads?
