COURSE

True Self Discovery: Uncover Authenticity, Meaning, Purpose, And Connection

With Saqib and Charles

We are constantly faced with habitual traps that block us from an authentic life filled with genuine connection, presence, and creativity. Saqib and Charles, alternating session by session, will identify these traps and navigate you into recovery and embodiment of your most Authentic Self in the Here-and-Now. This course will help you become aware of the traps of inauthenticity, such as conceptual time, outcome-oriented focus, and the desire to appear interesting, attractive, and successful to others. And develop the ability to connect directly with others, live outside of time, let go of attachment to things being a certain way, and drop the need to change who you are. In the process, reveal your Authentic Self to the world (and to yourself).

Identify ego traps that block your authenticity and learn to connect directly, honestly, and vulnerably with others.

Lesson 1

Then-And-There Mind

In this session, we'll explore the difference between the then-and-there self, the story of who you should and should not be, and the here-and-now self, the experience of who you actually are. This will serve as a theme for the remainder of the course as we will explore various then-and-there traps as well as here-and-now liberators. Authenticity can only happen in the uncertain here-and-now.

Lesson 2

Here-And-Now Mind

In this session, Saqib will guide you through a practice that will help bring your awareness from then-and-there to the here-and-now. Inspired by the Shamanic practice of Soul Retrieval, he has devised a meditation called Consciousness Retrieval. He believes that when we think a lot about certain people or places, our consciousness gets fragmented into multiple parts. The idea behind this practice is to collect these fragments of consciousness from the then-and-there and bring them to the here-and-now. This practice has the potential to awaken the experience of wholeness!

Lesson 3

The Time Trap

In this session, we'll cover two then-and-there traps, both related to the concept of "time." Learn to use time as a conceptual tool, and then free yourself from it in the here-and-now. Authenticity happens outside of the control of time.

Lesson 4

Timeless Total Being

What does it mean to be timeless? How does time affect us? Is it possible to let go of the idea of time? In this session, Saqib will guide you through a meditation designed to answer all of these questions for yourself. The notion of time has a significant impact on our lives. And therefore, how we express ourselves is determined by the factor of time to a great extent. What would happen if time becomes very limited? What would happen if time became infinite? And most importantly, what would happen if there was no time at all? Let's explore!

Lesson 5

Inside Out

In this session, we'll focus specifically on authentic interpersonal connection. We will uncover the value of identifying and expressing what's inside, outside, despite the then-and-there fear of being vulnerable. Authentic connection with others can happen only in the uncertain here-and-now.

Lesson 6

Your Authentic Self

How can you experience your Authentic Self? What do we need to let go of in order to express our deepest Selves? On this last day of the course, you will meditate with Saqib to communicate from your innermost being. When we speak with people, we usually carry a persona that becomes a distorting lens of our true selves. But if we let go of this persona, we can have the most meaningful conversations with people with whom we usually find ourselves in conflict or with people close to us.
