Ego Deficiency, the Family Hole and the Soul Station

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.
