TRAINING & DEVELOPMENT

Emad has been conducting training programs for various segments of the society since 2012. He has conducted various programs for corporate clients but increasingly his focus has shifted towards individuals and their development needs. Through his training sessions, he intends to groom people to be able to handle and solve personal as well as professional challenges faced in their respective lives. His understanding of the nature of problems faced by people has led him to develop this four stage model of development for people.

This is the basic level from which training sessions start. The length of these training sessions range from a couple of hours to several days. It is about tackling day-to-day problems of individuals in a vast array of life. Emad realizes that being able to effectively handle the curveballs that life throws unto someone is only possible through constant growth and development. These skills are built over time through mentorship on self-education.

Certain people grow beyond level one and become fairly competent to manage their personal and professional life smartly. At this stage, people tend to become more curious about their own self and purpose in life. Connecting with one’s truest self has much to do with transcending one’s own mind and body. The ‘self’ is usually cogitated as an eternal being, not confined to the physical space occupied by the mind and body but rather recognized as part of the soul. The key to self-realization is to learn that emotions, feelings, thoughts, physical body all keep on changing with time and hence are self-experiences only, not the self itself. At level two people are helped to unfold this dichotomy and make them learn the answer to the ultimate foundational question, “Who Am I”.

This journey to self-realization is essential to the modern contemporary human being because living along all technical and mechanical distractions, people lose track of the real objective of their life. Without having a strong sense of their own self, people often get swayed to live the life that others want them to live. Level two is designed to help people begin this journey of self-exploration. Using behavioral tools, he helps them identify their personality.

Main themes at this level include:

1. Knowing your true self and its traits
2. Self, self esteem and control of your own self
3. Finding the hidden personality traits inside an individual
4. Individual values, passions and directions
5. Personal goal identification
6. Finding the source of your true happiness
7. Connecting the dots of your past, present and future

The third level of human transcendence involves curiosity regarding the universal realities. After realization of ‘self’, the wish to explore the truest meaning of life arises. At this level, people want to be able to unravel the mysteries of the universe and identify reality as it is, not as it may seem. Upon reaching this stage, one’s inner eyes are opened to the in-depth gist of existences. This level is designed to connect people to the ultimate reality through the ‘Taweel’ of things. Emad is keen to help people pursue this stage by guiding them through Ilm ul Taweel (figurative and phenomenological interpretation). This is an unfortunate reality that not many people are ready to embrace this level but nevertheless it is a path for those who have achieved competence in the first two levels. He mentors seekers to interpret the true meaning of things where visible facts are unable to see beyond what is present. When people start unfolding the underlying objective of the Universe, then they are better able to identify what is required of them from their Creator. This level is solely focused on seeing with two eyes and letting the reality unfold in a different way than the external eyes alone can see them. This is a complex level of human pre-eminence wherein a person realizes that there is more to life than sensory experiences, more to reality than hollow mechanics, more to cognizance than neurological impulses and more to existence than the out and about of the body.

This is the ultimate level of training/mentorship provided by Emad. He mentors the travelers of this path, who believe in a higher form of Consciousness managing the universe and life after death. This requires operating at a spiritual level where physical acts are only a manifestation of the spirituality. This drive for spirituality is inherent in human nature, but the process through which the spiritual path unfolds is challenging. This level enables to create a bond between physical and spiritual reality. Spirituality is important for those facing existential anxiety as it helps them keep aligned with something far greater than their temporary physical existence. It provides purpose, direction, peace, motivation, enlightenment and transcendence and involves a radically permanent shift in their perception of the world. Emad trains the searchers to develop their spiritual quality through meditation, sublimation, prayer, equanimity, detachment, concentration, morality, reflection, chanting, service, devotion etc. so as to create a direct tangible bond with the Creator and continue living in a state of ‘presence’ at all times.
