What is the Diamond Logos and the Diamond Approach?
(PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MAIN CONTENTS OF THIS SITE ARE LISTED ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE)These are two separate schools that originally started as one (the Diamond Approach). The original school was co-founded by Faisal Muqaddam (heart centered), Hameed Ali (head centered) and Karen Johnson (belly centered). (The order of the names listed is not reflective of the individual contributions of each.)
After some years, the school split, with Faisal Muqaddam leaving and creating his own school, the Diamond Logos Academy.
Below you will find a short introduction to both schools.
Below is a video by Diamond Approach teacher Lauren Taylor that describes the path in more detail.
The Diamond Approach differs from most other paths in that it recognizes the uniqueness of each individual soul and adapts itself to each person’s needs at the time. It does not require that people adapt to some ideal, but welcomes people as they are and helps them to take the natural next step for their unique development.
The Diamond Approach emphasizes the personal aspects of spiritual reality, in a way different from most spiritual paths. Development of the personal essence—the Pearl beyond Price—is central to the Diamond Approach.
This process honors, supports, and develops the uniqueness of each individual to his or her fullest potential. Beingness in a personal form becomes a stepping stone from ordinary consciousness to the transcendent oneness of spiritual reality.
The Diamond Approach recognizes that Being or true nature manifests the fullness of reality, whereas the material world is only one part of that reality. This view contrasts with the materialistic perspectives dominating society today, of which most psychotherapy is an expression.
Following this path, we have the opportunity to discover, realize, and actualize our true nature, our deepest spiritual dimension. The Diamond Approach uses methods such as meditation, self-remembering, and inquiry to support this process of realizing our true nature.

The Diamond Logos
Below is a short video by Diamond Logos teacher Emilio Mercuriali that describes the path in more detail.
Originated by Faisal Muqaddam, the Diamond Logos Teachings is a systematic process of reclaiming our true self and finding our position in life and the glorious kingdom we live in. Through this teaching, we learn to recognize and embody our precious nature and its many manifestations.
We live in a very precious, rich reality, and we are very beautiful magical beings but we know neither who we are nor the kingdom we live in. We are in a form of sleep, living through concepts and belief systems that do not allow us to perceive who we really are.
This work is about removing these veils and barriers and transforming our consciousness so we can recover and integrate our true essence and experience the richness of who we are and the kingdom that we are in.
How the Diamond Logos Teachings came about
The Verse of Light is the jewel of my heart in this whole journey. In 1977, this verse came into my heart and its meaning began to be revealed to me. The initial revelations became the spine and heart of the unfoldment of the Diamond Approach. After I left to form the Diamond Logos Academy, the meaning and intricacies of this verse continued to be downloaded, guiding the development and evolution of the Diamond Logos Teachings. ~ Faisal Muqaddam SOURCE
