3Q High Performance Methodology

What if you could train your brain to improve your performance and increase your fulfilment? What if your attempts to improve yourself can be self-defeating if you don’t understand your own operating system? What if there was a map of your operating system that you can use to navigate the jungle of your mind’s impulses, and call on your best resources in any moment?

Use the Power of Neuroscience to Activate
a Higher Dimension of Intelligence

At the beginning of the scientific study of intelligence in the early 20th century, the definition of intelligence was restricted to intellectual intelligence (IQ). This narrow definition of intelligence prevailed until the mid 1980’s, when emotional intelligence (EQ) was identified as another dimension of intelligence of equal, or even greater, importance. Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience identified spiritual intelligence (SQ) as a further dimension of intelligence that is even more significant.

Spiritual Intelligence

Spiritual intelligence is an innate dimension of intelligence to which everyone has access. Spiritual intelligence is not religious. It depends not on belief but on direct personal experience. As the intelligence of the true self, beyond the ego, spiritual intelligence has many benefits that exceed the scope of intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. Freedom from ego grants wisdom and clarity of vision, combined with more empathy and compassion, which increases creativity and intuition, and results in greater personal fulfilment and better performance on important life skills and work skills. Spiritual intelligence therefore represents the most powerful resource for personal and professional growth and fulfilment.

Human Operating System

Twi Poles of Attention

Human Operating System

The twin poles of attention represent the basic operating system of human awareness, with the ego at the object-pole, and the true self, the soul, or consciousness itself, at the subject-pole. Shifting from the object-pole to the subject-pole creates a corresponding shift from ego to soul, which activates spiritual intelligence. Without understanding our operating system, we can mistakenly waste time trying to make changes at the object-pole, when the key to transformation is to shift to the subject-pole, and thus benefit from the inherent wisdom and advanced capabilities of a higher dimension of intelligence.

A Scientific Methodology to Realise Your Full Potential in Life and Leadership

SQ Portal

Spiritual Intelligence Portal

The SQ portal is a three-step process that shifts identification from ego to soul (from being the body and mind to being consciousness itself), and thus activates spiritual intelligence.

3Q High Performance Methodology

Training in 3Q combines three principal dimensions of intelligence, which together represent the three Qs. The three Qs activate the whole brain, unlike IQ or EQ on their own, which are part-brain functions. By training the whole brain, 3Q Training unlocks full human capabilities and high performance skills.

Be Who You Really Are in order to Perform at Your Full Potential

Being who you really are means transcending the ego (the false self) and being your true self (consciousness itself). The SQ portal achieves this shift in three quick steps. Being your true self activates spiritual intelligence which enables you to perform at your full potential. Performing at full potential means thinking at full potential, feeling at full potential, intuiting at full potential, and acting at full potential. These results follow effortlessly and spontaneously from being who you really are.

Deeper Meaning and Purpose

Spiritual intelligence connects us to our own source of meaning, purpose, and ethics, and motivates us to cooperate with others for the greater good. Collective spiritual intelligence is therefore the foundation of high performing organisations.

The Next Step Up in Human Performance Improvement

To be successful in the twenty-first century, corporations need to create a values-led culture, which focuses on benefits for all stake-holders, and in particular employees and customers. 3Q training activates whole brain intelligence, our most valuable asset, to create a vision-guided and values-led culture, based not on what members do, or on how they do it, but on who they are.

3Q Training

As a powerful combination of three principal dimensions of intelligence, 3Q represents IQ and EQ in association with SQ. Studies in neuroscience reveal that the experience of spiritual intelligence is correlated with hemispheric synchronisation and whole brain activation. The resulting whole-brain coherence optimises brain function and replaces the ego (the false self) with the soul (consciousness itself, the true self) by shifting from the object-pole of attention to the subject-pole of attention, which results in greater fulfilment, increased creativity, sharpened intuition, more empathy and compassion, and improved performance on a wide range of work skills and life skills If you want to learn more, there is a Course on 3Q training here.

How to Experience Spiritual Intelligence [Video]


Spiritual intelligence is easy to experience. We all experience SQ spontaneously at times. But spontaneous moments of SQ are rare and unpredictable. Therefore it’s important to know how to experience SQ intentionally. When you can engage your spiritual intelligence voluntarily, at any time of your own choosing, SQ becomes your most powerful personal resource. This video provides step-by-step instructions on how to use the instant 3Q meditation method to activate SQ intentionally.

Do you want to accelerate your own personal and spiritual growth, and teach others to do the same? The 3Q Practitioner Training Course trains and certifies Spiritual Intelligence Practitioners.

Spiritual Intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence beyond the ego that has access to the advanced capabilities of the true self. This Course is based on secular spirituality not on religious beliefs. Consequently, the methodology used to activate spiritual intelligence is not founded on articles of faith but on experience and knowledge, backed by evidence from related fields of scientific research. Certified Practitioners are provided with the training materials to coach their clients in spiritual intelligence, and conduct workshops in spiritual intelligence for leaders and organisations, and for the general public.

As the intelligence of the true self beyond the ego, spiritual intelligence (SQ) has many benefits that exceed the scope of intellectual intelligence (IQ) and emotional intelligence (EQ). Spiritual intelligence relieves anxiety and depression and the extreme pain of meaninglessness and despair that is often associated with ego states of awareness. Freedom from ego, as experienced with SQ, grants wisdom and clarity of vision, combined with more empathy and compassion, which increases creativity and intuition, and results in greater personal fulfilment and better performance on important life skills and work skills. Spiritual intelligence therefore represents the most powerful resource for personal and professional growth and fulfilment.

Widespread adoption of spiritual intelligence as a personal code of conduct raises the standard of accountability in collective governance, in response to public demand. When standards in governments and corporations are based on spiritual intelligence, the energy of love will turn into a social and political force, as never before in history. Public training in spiritual intelligence therefore heralds a new era of human rights and social justice, which form the foundation for global cooperative community, shared prosperity, and world peace.

As a 3Q Practitioner you will be equipped to introduce spiritual intelligence in the context of contemporary secular culture, and contribute to the next stage in the evolution of collective consciousness. When a tipping point is reached, the emerging next stage of collective consciousness will result in global transformation, founded not on beliefs of any sort, or on government control, or on mass media narratives enforced by censorship of contrary views, but founded instead on the inherent qualities of consciousness itself, such as love, wisdom, and peace, which everyone can experience by activating their spiritual intelligence.
