INTELLECTUALLY SOOTHING

CLEAR & CONCISE

Lensology is both a theory and a method of understanding people, ideas and information by identifying the lens through which they see and interpret things.. with the end goal of better understanding yourself.This whole e-course explores the Universal Lenses of Life. Lenses are intellectual eyes via which individuals interpret everything they see, hear or read.Lenses are neutral and their bearers are not meant to be judged as good or bad. Rather, they are discernment tools to help you process information consciously and in turn gain intellectual clarity when trying to understand people, ideas, concepts, events, yourself, life and even God.You are going to intellectually explore the six universal lenses of life and begin to be able to identify the lense(s) that resonate with you the most. It will also help you understand the lenses of those around you or people you have heard of, known or read about but were unable to resonate with their worldviews.

FROM ONE MAN'S STORY

TO MANIFOLD PERSPECTIVES

Lensology evolved from repeated cycles of teaching the biography of Prophet Muhammad many years ago.Initially delivered from a singular perspective using popular sources, it gradually expanded and reached unexpected breakthroughs.Two facts were discovered. First, some stories from the same source were not as popular as some others.Second, there were versions of the same story that contradict one another.The question thus arose: which one was more accurate? Who determined what should be written in the historical records and what should be left out? Thereafter, many other questions surfaced.References were just too many. Why are some not written in one, but the other?Why are some made so popular as if they are the only truth while other versions are made redundant?Even more significant was the question: why are people fighting over it? Why do different people only read and comprehend certain books while other books are invisible to their eyes even when put in front of them?Why do different teachers teach the same thing in different ways?These questions led to the mapping and categorising of references and their sources, writers of biographies and perspectives of people who teach others about life and the truth they see, that others don't.Authors, scholars, leaders and writers were stripped of their labels and grouped according to Lenses.Soon, we discovered these Lenses are universal. They can be applied to any discipline, any topic, any field, and any sphere of life. Not just religion.

"I found Lensology when I was looking to start afresh in my understanding and practicing of my religion. Lensology has opened my eyes in ways that all the other courses and classes I have attended have never done. My perspective shifts to wider angles. Lensology is where every piece falls into place for the better. :) I love you all, thank you so much for doing this!" ~Mimi

"I'm enjoying reading on Lensology 1.0. Very well written, Laoshi and Habape! The way you write shows how patient and detailed you are in covering all aspects such that the reader grasps your meaning!" ~Hanum

Course Description

Lensology is a derivation of the full Soul Explorer 1-year Program conducted since 2014. As we went through teaching and delivering the lessons, we have come to realize that this stuff takes time to digest.As such, we are offering only the first crucial part of the entire program and let our participants decide for themselves if they can take it and want to explore further.This first part is Lensology 1.0 - the Universal Lenses of Life. The other parts are offered as advanced Lensology courses for students who have passed and demonstrated excellent understanding of basic Lensology.Lensology is both theory and technique of understanding people, ideas and information by identifying the lens through which they see and interpret things.This whole e-course explores the Universal Lenses of Life. Lenses are intellectual eyes via which individuals interpret everything they see, hear or read. Lenses are neutral and their bearers are not meant to be judged as good or bad. Rather, they are discernment tools to help you process information consciously and in turn gain intellectual clarity when trying to understand people, ideas, concepts and events. You are going to intellectually explore these universal lenses: The Lens 1s; The Lens 3s; The Lens 5s; The Lens 2s and 4s; and the sixth lens. While going through this, you might begin to be able to identify the lense(s) that resonate with you the most. It will also help you understand the lenses of those around you or people you have heard, known or read about but were unable to resonate with their worldviews.

Course Objectives

This course is aimed at exploring different lenses people put on when it comes to learning, communicating and relating to others so that you can make informed decisions when it comes to finding answers to your own pressing questions about life, choosing a teacher, a school, a life principle to hold on to, or the like.It also aims at helping you to confidently discern truth from falsehood, put an end to mental or intellectual confusion and ambiguity, live life with clarity and purpose; with peace of mind and heart.This course offers the basic pillars and tools for you to connect the dots on your own. You will learn through examples of applying them but will not be imposed with answers.Each individual has a dominant lens via which he creates meanings and makes decisions in life. Here, we specifically explore available lenses - which are universal- out there that have been used for ages to classify information.The lenses we are going to explore include religious lenses (because we come from thick and deep religious background). This course is created by two heads. One is a result of years of trying to help people by solving their problems and make them happy by being a religious teacher and the other a result of rigorous scouring of own curiosity about how life works and how and when religion comes in. Our lensologist is here to show you “how it all make sense”.Through this course, you will be given the opportunity to experience how it looks like to view the world in each of these lenses. It would be useful (critical, in fact) to mention beforehand what this course is not about:It is not about different religions or sects within a religion, even though these may be touched on for the purpose of demonstrating lenses;It is not about personality or character traits;It is not about labelling or judging people or groups (always, always, always bear this in mind);It is not a religious course though you may get a great deal of education while going through the course;It is NOT advocating any particular group(s) within any community - be they religious groups, liberal humanist groups, agnostic atheist groups - nor do this course has any particular political or religious affiliation to any organisation.You will not get spiritual enlightenment as this course only aims at intellectual realisation, which can be a significant door to higher consciousness.

Course Background

This course was originally an outcome of teaching several courses on the biography of Prophet Muhammad many years ago.Initially, the sirah workshops were taught based on selected popular sources. Towards the final round of intakes, two facts were discovered. First, some stories from the same source were not as popular as some others. Second, there were versions of the same story.The question was, which one was the truth? Another important question was who determined what should be written in the historical records and what should be left out? Thereafter, many other questions surfaced.References were just too many. Why are some not written in the other? Why are some made so popular as if they are the only truth while other versions of the story existed as well? And more importantly, why are people fighting over it? Why do different people read different kinds of sirah books?The quick answer to that is: Lenses.
So we discussed and grouped authors, scholars and writers according to Lenses instead of labels attached to them. Soon, we discovered these Lenses are universal. They can be applied to any discipline, any topic, any field, any sphere of life.Most importantly, it helped us help some participants who had so many questions surrounding the topics. They were frustrated for not getting answers they sought after having attended so many religious classes and personal development courses. So we put it all together and created this online program.It is not easy to list down the uses of this course. This course is in essence an intellectual adventure. It may or may not change your perspective depending on your intent. It may or may not improve your life depending on the lens you put on.If you have been thirsty for more - beyond what you would have received in any religious classes, personal development courses or intellectual discourses, Soul Explorer™ is for you. Imagine how it feels when you have attended each and every class, listened to each and every kind of teacher, read all kinds of books, and then you can finally see clearly how they are all connected. But in order to experience that, you must be willing to climb up high. Only then will you be able to view everything from all corners.Our intent in making this program is to help you get the intellectual satisfaction as you see it, as you want it. We had to go through this exploration in the hardest way and in the longest time of our lives to share them all with you in this course. We have no idea what sort of lens you have. All you have to do is to come on board and observe.

"The only way to live in a better world is to encourage children to think in non-linear way."

"Giving answers to children can mean locking their minds or their ability to think critically.. If you have an inquiring mind, you are already expanding your mind." ~Lensology I

Thuraiya Laoshi

Co-Developer and course writer of Lensology (formerly known as Soul Explorer program). She was in a local full-time madrasah for 13 years while attending two other part-time and weekend madrasahs. She spent another 7 years studying abroad to obtain an honours degree in History and Civilisations with a minor in Islamic Studies as well as a Master degree in Education majoring in curriculum development and instruction from the International Islamic University in Malaysia where she wrote a thesis on Islamization of knowledge as she was heavily exposed to the work of Syed Naquib al-Attas. During her stay, she joined different student societies among which are: the debating club, the Quranic youth club being its Tahfiz program participant and member, the History students forum as an Exco member, the Singapore Students Association as Vice President and the Postgraduate Students Society as Secretary General.She was born into a strictly practicing Muslim family which, though heavily geared towards Sufi orientation, was also interestingly influenced by some "salafi/wahabi" teachings. Once a devoted thariqah follower, she joined a student group during her university days whose activities resemble the ideals of Muslim Brotherhood - actively involved with Israel-Palestine conflict awareness campaigns.Much of her earlier working life is devoted to teaching Islamic Studies to children, teenagers and adults in a family-owned private weekend Islamic School, and in a few mosques. She was a member of the local association of religious clerics and was involved in many of its fund raising activities and training programs. She had experienced working in a mosque as a religious officer, a translator and researcher at a think tank institute, independent writer and researcher focusing on the study of causes of religious extremism and radicalism. She had published several articles in local newspapers and journals throughout the years.After having children, as a typical mother, she looked after her children while working as a freelancer distributing and selling online products. While teaching ad-hoc religious classes and courses (mainly sirah or biography of the Prophet) she explored the world of online business, MLM, education consulting, and the sort. She has also been exposed to healing theories and practices since teenagehood, initially exploring how to clear up curses or dark magic using religious methods. Some of the courses in personal development she studied include the Enneagram, The Work of Byron Katie, Awakening The Illuminated Heart by Drunvalo Melchizedek, Soul Healing, Intuition Training, the Teaching of Thinking, Levels of Energy, and others. Currently, apart from writing and raising children, she conducts courses on emotional healing and offers distant energy clearing services online.None from the above, however, is going to be taught in Lensology. The purpose of sharing this background is so that you have an idea of where we come from. It is those experiences and exposure, not the contents, that contributed to understanding different lenses of life, connecting the dots, and widening our perspectives.

Habape Redzuan

Currently teaching deep Arabic, he had worked for a total of 10 years as a jihadism analyst in RSIS, a madrasah curriculum reviewer in Muis, an Arabic language curriculum developer at a language centre, and an Arabic language teacher at Pergas. He has religious educational experience spanning 20 years, having an MA in Interdisciplinary Islamic Studies (Jakarta), a BA in Islamic Law (Cairo), and a diploma in Islamic Studies (Kelantan). He was in Aljunied Islamic School (Singapore) for 5 years before getting a scholarship to study in Kuwait for 5 years in a religious high school and 3 years of university studies in Arabic language and literature.Along the way, he picked up some life skills via certifications from NLP Academy (UK), International Academy of Personal Development (Kuwait), Black Flag Wing Chun (US) and Medical Intuition System (Singapore). He also attended, in 1989, sessions in advanced grammar with Shaykh Omar Al-Khatieb, one of the most learned scholars in the world. And for 4 months in 2013, he lived near a modern pondok in Kota Bharu to study hadith (from the Six Books - Sunan Sittah) under the tutelage of Maulana Asri Yusof, one of the most learned hadith scholars in the world. He is also currently involved in peace activism with Dr Salah Al-Rashed, the psychologist-philosopher of the Middle East who is the dean of International Academy of Personal Development - an institution that is creating positive shockwaves across the Middle East.Never did he realize that all the above experience were to prepare him for what was to come. While his formal studies ended in 2011, his “real life studies” only fully began in 2012. That was when he realised that everything he learned in prior was mostly information. And that his deep longing was for “real knowledge and true realisation”. Once he realised what he needed were, in a large part, some pairs of lenses with which to look at life, he stopped “worshipping information”, and began appreciating “true knowledge” by uncovering one intellectual realisation after another. This is the very process he seeks to share with you.

Welcome on board again..

Now that you have explored the first two courses in Lensology, you might be wondering:Where is God in this whole map of universal lenses and determinants of truth?
 
What or who governs our life?How does each lens understand the concepts of sin and reward (dosa-pahala) and heaven and hell?
 
The fear of punishment, the burden of believing one has committed a sin and the anxiety of not knowing whether or not one is forgiven - these are the thoughts that occupy the most of our minds and take the most of our time.Most people have no idea these hidden thoughts of fear and anxiety are actually draining their energy. Yet, they are helpless as there is nothing they can do about it.
 
That’s because it has been fixed into their minds that:
 
Each and every human being is bounded by laws.  But what kind of laws?Read on..

Questions?

YOU HAVE LEARNED all about universal lenses of life. You have understood that each person has a unique dominant lens regardless of who their parents or acquaintances are. You have also learned the mechanisms or the channels through which truths are determined. You can now understand why a truth determinant of a lens may or may not also be a truth determinant of another. By that, you can now understand, why in every religion or religious sect, there are many different varieties of rules and laws; and why it would be rather futile to prove one's truth to another especially without understanding their lens or DOT.In the third advanced level of Lensology, you have understood how laws of life emerged out of lenses, and how interpretations of Scripture are dependent on one's lens and DOT.It is now up to you, if you wish, to choose which part resonates with you.But what if you can resonate with certain lenses but you still feel unsettled? What if you resonate with everything and can't decide a path you would like to take?Or..What if you want to consciously shift your lens but all you can do is to take a peek through Lensology and that's all?Now, this is where LOC comes in.In terms of Lenses, LOC is a product of the sixth lens. If we are talking about "choosing a path" or shifting lenses, we have no other better way than borrowing the six's shades.WHAT IS LOC?Levels of Consciousness are humans' levels of awareness. If lenses limit your ability to process or find information beyond your lens' capacity, your level of consciousness explains why you would remain in your lens or why you are unable to shift; why you are pulled back from shifting; or why are you still not feeling complete or fully at peace (resulting from the feeling that you do not know enough, read enough, or do enough).

CAN WE REACH THE "FEEL OF ENOUGH"?Yes, we can! (at the tune of Bob The Builder) We definitely can.In Lensology 1.0, we have learned that one can only shift into another dominant lens (not to confuse with taking another lens as a shades) through deliberate and conscious effort of seeking knowledge.WHAT IS SEEKING KNOWLEDGE?Seeking knowledge is not reading thousands of books or joining a hundreds of courses or consuming as much content as possible.We are not saying that books and courses is not important or wrong. We are saying that that is not the one definite way to shift to a wider lens. Nobody has ever been able to read all the books in the world and learning about everything just by reading or attending schools.In the far left Muslim World, we are often duped into thinking that a cleric who is able to quote from books must have read all the books in the world. The more he quotes, the more it proves that he or she has read all the book in the world regarding the subject he or she is teaching. Having gone through Lensology courses from basic to advanced, you have now understood that all lenses read, but the depth of one's knowledge is not determined by the extent of books, content, data and information one has in one's head, but by the lens and DOT through which one knowledge is obtained.If one's depth is limited by one's lens and the DOTs accompanying it, how then would anyone be able to make a phenomenal lens shift - from just taking shades when it's convenient to actually shift to a wider lens?In LOC, seeking knowledge means identifying what's blocking us from it and removing the blocks. These blocks are not represented in terms of textual information or content knowledge, but in terms of energy and emotions. This is the very thing you are going to explore in this course. Sounds good?

COURSE DETAILS

OBJECTIVETo understand the levels of self as identified and/or discovered by the far right.Part 1: Unlearning LOC (Approx. 20 week days) | Format: Online [daily write-up/reading]The Far Left are the inheritors and interpreters. They do not experience or obtain anything from their own intuition or personal experience. Because their 'textbooks' are traceable to a far right initiator, they would have in their hands, a textual equivalent (not contextual) of what the far right would discover about the reality of consciousness.In the first level of LOC, we are going to focus on unlearning the scattered and/or misconstrued teachings on levels of consciousness, particularly in the far left world. Our objective here is to unlearn.Part 2: Levels of Energy and Consciousness. (Approx. 20 week days) | Format: Online [daily write-up/reading]Once we have explored the various concepts of consciousness, we can now better understand how the sixth lens synthesises of the levels of human consciousness and energy: what they mean and how we can use it to improve our selves.Part 3: LOC Live Session (Approx. 4 hours) | Format: Live Presentation, practical lessons and discussion.This will be a wrap up and demonstration session to practice and discuss further from what we have learned.
