Aperture

UPGRADE TO HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS
WITH NEUROSCIENCE

Aperture is a science-based program that teaches you how to gain instant access to higher consciousness.

Instead of a daily practice of half an hour or more for many years with a traditional form of meditation, neurofeedback reduces your practice time to only 5 minutes per day for three months. In that short time, with the help of neuroscience, you can build a brain capable of engaging a higher dimension of intelligence at will

Neurofeedback from a brain-sensing headband accelerates the learning process enormously.

3Q intelligence

Dimensions of Intelligence

The identity shift to your higher self combines SQ with IQ and EQ resulting in 3Q. As a result you instantly think better, feel better, relate better and perform better, and gain immediate access to the capabilities of your higher self (intuition, creativity, peace, joy, compassion, integrity, love, wisdom).

Learn the new technique for instant transformation of consciousness. Use it anytime and anywhere to shift instantly beyond ego to your higher self.

This new technique of instant transformation is based on secular principles derived from various fields of scientific research. The evidence from modern science is corroborated by the findings of spiritual traditions based on the experience of spiritual practitioners going back thousands of years. This new technique is therefore the product of a synthesis between science and spirituality. But how is 3Q different from other approaches that also integrate science and spirituality?

The 3Q Difference

The 3Q difference is that once you have learned this new technique of instant transformation with the help of neurofeedback during training, you can use it to access the qualities and capabilities of your higher self instantly anytime and anywhere on the spot.

Instant Transformation?

“Instant transformation?” Really? Can transformation be instant? Yes! Because transformation is transcendence, which is instant. It’s not possible to transcend anything gradually. Transcendence is a complete and all-pervading shift in dimension that can only be accomplished all at once or not at all.

Advanced Capabilities

The shift to spiritual intelligence by means of the 3Q Method occurs in an instant as you transcend your ego and the qualities and capabilities of your higher self spontaneously emerge as required in response to the present moment.

Upgrade to Next Level Intelligence
with Neuro-Transpersonal Training

Neuro-Transpersonal Training (NTT) is a new training technology that uses neurofeedback in real time to train the brain rapidly to shift to a transpersonal dimension of consciousness.

Transpersonal means beyond the ego, and beyond the narrow bounds of self-interest. Transpersonal consciousness therefore connects you empathically to others and to the world. Spiritual intelligence is the transpersonal dimension of intelligence.

Neurofeedback-assisted training bypasses all the usual road-blocks to developing and maintaining higher states of consciousness, such as distractions by thoughts, negative self-talk, emotional reactivity, and past maladaptive learning.

On this Quest you will use NTT to learn how to activate spiritual intelligence instantly using a brain-sensing headband for rapid learning during training. The headband also provides scientific verification of transpersonal brain development based on your brain monitoring data.

Meditation Space

When you shift beyond ego you enter the meditation space. Traditional forms of meditation typically take 20 minutes or more to complete. But 3Q meditation is constructed differently, which is why it’s much faster.

Identity Shift


3Q meditation completes the core psychological process common to all forms of meditation which is the identity shift beyond ego. This is an instantaneous shift which 3Q meditation completes directly without pre-amble or delay. This is why 3Q meditation takes not 20 minutes or 10 minutes or even 5 minutes to complete but merely a second.

What Are Brain Waves?

Brain waves are divided into five different bandwidths that create a spectrum of human consciousness. Our brain waves change throughout the day and are part of a feedback loop that is influenced by what we’re doing, thinking, feeling, and being, at any given time.

Delta waves (0.1Hz to 3Hz) are the slowest brain waves and occur primarily during our deepest state of dreamless sleep.

Theta waves (4Hz to 7Hz) occur during sleep but can also occur in the deepest states of meditation.

Alpha waves (8Hz to 15Hz) are present when your brain is in an idling default-state typically created when you’re daydreaming or consciously practicing mindfulness or meditation. Alpha waves can also be created by doing aerobic exercise.

Beta waves (16Hz to 30Hz) typically dominate our normal waking states of consciousness and occur when attention is directed towards cognitive and other tasks. Beta is a ‘fast’ wave activity that is present when we are alert, attentive, focused, and engaged in problem solving or decision making.

Gamma waves (31Hz to 100Hz) typically hover around 40 Hz and are the fastest of the brain wave bandwidths. Gamma waves relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas and correlate with a higher dimension of intelligence associated with insight, peak focus, and expanded consciousness.

On the Spot Transformation

3Q meditation is totally compatible with daily activities because it only takes a second to complete and it doesn’t interfere with whatever else you are doing, even if you are engaged in conversation. Whereas other forms of meditation typically involve seclusion, quiet, and repose for 20 minutes or more which requires you to abandon all other activities for a significant period of time.

Fresh from the Source

When you apply 3Q instant meditation to whatever you are doing you get the benefits of meditation delivered fresh from the source in direct response to the exact conditions of the present moment. Therefore, in any moment that is lived with 3Q, the grace of the soul forms your response and the power and insight of the soul informs your decision.

Transformative Power

This means that the transformative power of your higher self to influence your life is intensified by instant 3Q meditation in comparison with other meditation techniques that require inactivity and separation from the rest of life. This is because 3Q instant meditation can be combined with your lived experience in the present moment whatever you are doing.

Meditation Re-Engineered

3Q meditation does not select elements from different meditation techniques and combine them to form a new meditation technique made up of a new combination of elements. Instead, 3Q identifies the essence of the meditation process itself and creates a wholly new pathway from the ego to the meditation space. The 3Q Method is meditation re-engineered.

Instant Meditation

Instead of spending 20 minutes experiencing one by one the qualities of higher consciousness (first compassion then gratitude then love then something else etc) the 3Q method takes only one second to shift to the state of identity beyond ego in which all those qualities are inherent and therefore immediately accessible.

Effortless Precision

In only one second 3Q meditation creates access with effortless precision to the same state of identity, and the associated dimension of intelligence, that other meditations take 20 minutes or more to access.

Scientific Study 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.

Next Dimension

Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience have identified spiritual intelligence (SQ) as a further dimension of intelligence that is even more powerful. Both IQ and EQ are important, but they are not sufficient to access full human potential, maintain top performance, and provide enduring fulfilment. The next dimension of intelligence is also necessary.

Three Dimensions of Intelligence

Three Dimensions of Intelligence

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

Freedom from ego grants wisdom and clarity of vision, and releases deeper empathy, love, and compassion, which increases creativity and intuition, and results in greater personal fulfilment and better performance on essential life skills and work skills. Spiritual intelligence therefore represents your most powerful resource for personal and professional growth and fulfilment.

3Q Cascade Effect

The 3Q Cascade Effect is the manifesting current of life energy,
enlightening the mind, awakening spiritual awareness, opening the heart, and energising contribution to others.

Vertical and Horizontal

Spiritual intelligence represents vertical development because SQ is a growth in spiritual realisation that transcends the ego as a result of the 3Q Cascade Effect. By contrast, the exercise of IQ and EQ in the absence of SQ are extensions of the ego, and therefore represent horizontal development.

Strategic and Tactical

Spiritual intelligence is sometimes known as Strategic Intelligence, in contrast to Tactical Intelligence, which is IQ and EQ. That’s because IQ and EQ are about HOW to do things (tactics), whereas SQ is about WHY we do things (strategy). Tactical intelligence is horizontal development and Strategic intelligence is vertical.

Twin Poles of Attention

Twin 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 the spiritual dimension of intelligence.

Every human being has an operating system, just like a computer or a phone. When you know how to upgrade your human operating system to next level intelligence, you go from surviving mode to thriving mode, and everything changes instantly: you Think better, Feel better, Relate better, and Perform better.

Ego Mistake

Without understanding your operating system, you can mistakenly waste time trying to make changes at the object-pole of attention. The ego does this all the time. It’s the perennial ego mistake. But the key to transformation is to shift to the subject-pole of attention, and thus activate the advanced capabilities of spiritual intelligence. Then you can make changes at the object-pole, not with the limited vision and energy of your ego, but with the wisdom and power of your soul.

FREE TEST

Ego Highjack Test

Has Your Ego Highjacked Your Mind?

How do you know if your ego has highjacked your mind? The main sign are these: your thoughts reflect pain, struggle, lack, limitation, and insufficiency, and not peace, not compassion, not wisdom, not love, not joy, not meaning, not purpose, not integrity, not creativity, and not unlimited potential.

You might not realise that your ego has highjacked your mind because you are consulting your mind to find the answer to this question. And if your mind is under the influence of your ego then what your mind says in answer to this question may not be accurate. That’s why it makes sense to take the Ego Highjack Test (EHT) to get an objective answer and find out.

How bad is it if your mind is captive to your ego? It’s only bad if you don’t like misery, pain and struggle. But who likes misery, pain and struggle? So, first take the EHT. Then according to your results on the test, you will be advised on next steps.

If your EHT score indicates that your ego has highjacked your mind, you will be advised how to free your mind from bondage to your ego and as a result think better, feel better, relate better, and perform better, with access to all the advanced capabilities of your higher consciousness.

Ego Highjack Test

Start

The EHT is a self-report test that can be completed in under five minutes.
The test does not require the use of a brain-monitoring headband.

Spiritual Intelligence is Applied Meditation

Spiritual intelligence is activated by the meditation space, which is consciousness free of the influence of objects of attention. When you use spiritual intelligence in the midst of everyday events you bring the transformative power of the meditation space and all its inherent qualities to the activities of the present moment. For this reason spiritual intelligence is called applied meditation.

Benefits of Spiritual Intelligence


Elevate your Consciousness
by Activating a Higher Dimension of Intelligence

1. TRUTH
Direct perception of truth in the moment beyond appearances without the filter of the mind, and an explanatory framework that enables you to understand and decode all your experiences.

2. PEACE
The meditation space is free of the influence of objects of consciousness (which includes all body-mind conditioning). Therefore the meditation space feels peaceful because any disturbance is caused by the influence of an object of consciousness. As applied meditation, spiritual intelligence therefore feels peaceful.

3. FREEDOM
No conditioning. No mind-made chains. No limits. No pressure. No expectations. You are free to be you.

4. LOVE & JOY
The unobstructed radiance of the heart shines with unlimited power in the meditation space when consciousness is free of the influence of objects. As applied meditation, spiritual intelligence therefore networks love. Wow! It’s joyful to have direct access to spiritual truth, and feel loving and free and peaceful!

5. COMPASSION
The heart shines to infinity in the meditation space, bathing all in love-bright radiance. You no longer feel separate, you feel one with all that is. In that state of non-separation, compassion flows freely and spontaneously. Since SQ is applied meditation, compassion is therefore a faculty of spiritual intelligence.

6. SOURCE of EMPATHY
Empathy is the key to solving world problems. This is self-evidently true. However empathy (EQ) becomes exhausted and burns out unless you can draw on the depth of loving-kindness from your higher self (SQ). Without spiritual intelligence empathy is not sustainable for long. SQ is the source that replenishes and sustains empathy.

7. INTUITION & WISDOM
In the absence of the ego, the light of intuition and the wisdom of the heart shine forth in the meditation space when consciousness is free of the influence of objects. Intuition and Wisdom are therefore faculties of SQ which are immediately accessible when you activate your spiritual intelligence.

8. INTEGRITY
When we transcend our ego-identity, we feel connected to everyone. Thus in the meditation space we feel one with all. Therefore, as applied meditation, spiritual intelligence treats everyone with honesty and respect, which shows up as integrity.

9. CREATIVITY
The infinite power of consciousness itself seeks expression through your agency in the person of your human body-mind. Thus, as consciousness itself, you connect to the source of creativity with spiritual intelligence. Creativity is therefore a faculty of spiritual intelligence.

10. HIGH PERFORMANCE
Spiritual intelligence opens up when you shift identity beyond the ego. In the absence of the ego, you have access to the qualities and capabilities of a higher dimension of intelligence, and as a result you think better, feel better, relate better, and perform better. Spiritual intelligence therefore results in high performance.

The 3Q Brain Upgrade

Neuroscience of Spiritual Intelligence

The neuroscience of spiritual intelligence reveals that the 3Q Brain Upgrade has five main parameters: it changes brain processing; resets brain frequencies; re-balances brain neurotransmitters; stimulates the process of neurogenesis that creates new brain cells; and builds new brain structure that supports the higher dimension of intelligence.

Optimise the Brain

The 3Q Brain Upgrade optimises the brain for engaging three principal dimensions of intelligence simultaneously (IQ+EQ+SQ). The default setting of attention after the 3Q Brain Upgrade is at the subject-pole of attention, not at the object-pole of attention. The 3Q Brain Upgrade therefore replaces the ego with the soul as the seat of personal identity and as the governor of IQ and EQ.

State of Presence

After the 3Q Brain Upgrade, your SQ uses IQ and EQ not to pursue the goals of the ego but to express the qualities of the soul, which are experienced at the subject-pole of attention in the state of presence, in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Below are the five main parameters of the 3Q Brain Upgrade.

1. Brain Processing

3Q intelligence

Brain processing in the 3Q brain shifts from exclusive use of serial and parallel processing to include synchronous processing. This change in processing is associated with the combination of spiritual intelligence with intellectual intelligence and emotional intelligence. Synchronous processing integrates the functioning of both hemispheres at the same (gamma) frequency, and results in a unified state which is experienced as presence.

2. Brain Frequencies

The 3Q brain resets brain frequencies to include gamma frequencies, which otherwise occur rarely and at random. Gamma frequencies are associated with activation of the spiritual dimension of intelligence.

3. Brain Neurotransmitters

The 3Q brain reduces neurotransmitters that generate fight and flight reactions, which are generally overused by the ego, and increases neurotransmitters that are associated with wellbeing and balance.

4. Brain Neurogenesis

The 3Q Method stimulates particular parts of the brain that are responsible for the process of neurogenesis, resulting in the generation of new brain cells that are used to strengthen existing brain networks and build new ones.

5. Brain Structure

The 3Q Method builds new brain structure that sustains the experience of spiritual intelligence. Consequently the more you use your 3Q, the more 3Q brain structure you create, and therefore the easier it is to activate your 3Q intelligence, and the more often your 3Q intelligence kicks in spontaneously.

The 3Q Brain Upgrade to spiritual intelligence is the next step up in personal development and the next stage in human evolution.

The 3Q Method

The 3Q Method is a simple, rapid, and highly effective three-step process that shifts from your ego to your true self, your soul, and thus activates your spiritual intelligence. On the Aperture Quest you will use the 3Q Method for 5 minutes a day for three months which is sufficient to upgrade your brain and enable you to access the full range of your intelligence by combining spiritual intelligence (SQ) with emotional intelligence (EQ) and intellectual intelligence (IQ).

Spiritual Intelligence Portal

The 3Q Method

Rapid Learning

You will learn the 3Q Method rapidly on the Aperture Quest, because you will have the benefit of neurofeedback from a brain-sensing headband, which allows you to see your own brain activity in real time. A free headband is included in the cost when you sign up for Aperture.

Neuroplasticity

The 3Q Method employs neuroplasticity, which re-wires the brain according to how you use your attention. Studies show that meditation can rewire the brain in a matter of a few weeks. By using the 3Q Method for a mere 5 minutes per day for the three months duration of the Aperture Quest, you are rewiring your brain to make SQ in combination with EQ and IQ easily accessible at will. This represents a complete brain upgrade in terms of brain processing, brain frequencies, brain neurotransmitters, neurogenesis, and brain structure.

Verified by Neuroscience

By the end of the Aperture Quest, after only 5 minutes practice with the headband per day for three months, the EEG data from your headband will verify that your 3Q brain upgrade is complete. That means you have developed the necessary brain capacity to experience spiritual intelligence at will.

Track Progress

By monitoring your own brain activity you will learn rapidly how to use the 3Q Method to upgrade your brain. In the process, the record of your brain activity will verify that you have developed your brain’s ability to function at your best at any time. In only 5 minutes per day over the three months duration of the Aperture Quest, you will learn how to access your full potential by combining all three dimensions of intelligence.

Complete Brain Upgrade

Your results, as verified by your brain monitoring data, represent a complete brain upgrade, which will enable you to think better, feel better, relate better, and perform better, and gain access to all the qualities and capabilities of your higher self.

Permanent Results

Your 3Q brain upgrade lasts beyond the end of the course. Studies in neuroscience show that the design of the 3Q Method ensures that you will build new brain structure that strengthens your 3Q neural network. This is due to the fact that when you maintain any state of awareness for 15 seconds or more continuously, your brain transfers the experience from short-term memory to long-term memory.

Evolving Your Brain

The shift to long-term memory is accomplished by building new brain structure that supports continued access to the experience, in this case the experience of spiritual intelligence. Consequently, completing the Aperture Quest will evolve your brain into a higher state of functioning. When your 3Q brain upgrade is complete, as verified by your brain monitoring data, your 3Q intelligence will be instantly accessible at will.

Revolutionary Course

For the first time ever, an online course offers the means of transpersonal brain development with the assistance of neurofeedback and with verification of results by neuroscience. This is an enormous technological advantage compared to any other online course. But that’s not all.

World-First Technology

This course excels not only in technology but also in methodology. On the Aperture Quest you will learn the 3Q Method, which is the fastest and most effective transpersonal method for activating spiritual intelligence and upgrading your whole brain.

Unique Methodology

The evidence-based foundation of the Aperture Quest, both in technology and in methodology, guarantees that what you are learning has the backing of modern science. For both these reasons, the Aperture Quest is a unique and revolutionary course.

Structure of the Course

The Aperture Quest is a three month course that requires 5 minutes practice per day with the brain-monitoring headband. In addition there are a number of short videos to watch explaining the fundamentals of the 3Q Method.

Content of the Course

The first week of the Aperture Quest is taken up with several introductory videos. From the second week onwards, you will begin using the brain-monitoring headband. The headband is delivered to you one week after the beginning of the course. Daily 5 minute sessions with the headband are done in association with videos that guide you through the 3Q Method. The 5 minute daily sessions can be completed at any time to suit your schedule.

Mentoring Program

Every two weeks on the Aperture Quest you are invited to attend a live online Mentoring session with others who are training in the 3Q Method. The Mentoring sessions are an opportunity to have your questions answered live by the course instructors, and to get guidance and support in applying what you are learning to your life. If you are unable to attend the Mentoring sessions live, recordings will be available that you can watch at your convenience.

Monitoring of Progress

The brain-sensing headband allows you to monitor your own progress over time. Your progress is supervised by the course instructors, who are in a position to guide you personally, as required, because they have access to your brain monitoring data. The course instructors will give you feedback about your progress during the 3Q brain upgrade. Once the Quest is over, your course instructors will no longer have access to your brain monitoring data when you use the headband.

Pre-training and Post-training
Neurological Test

Before training starts with the 3Q Method, you will take a short test with the headband to assess your current brain function. After training for three months on the Aperture Quest, you will be tested again to reveal the gains you have made in brain development and 3Q capability since the course began.

Yours to Keep

The Muse brain-monitoring headband is yours to keep after the end of the Quest. You will find the headband useful after the Quest is over, as you continue to develop your capabilities beyond the stage you reached at the end of the course.

As a research-grade EEG device, the Muse headband is used by neuroscientists, researchers, health professionals, and developers for brain research projects in universities and hospitals worldwide, including NASA, The Mayo Clinic, UCL, MIT, and many others.

Certificate of Completion

You will receive a Certificate of Completion together with verification of your brain development based on the neurological evidence from your brain monitoring data.

Guarantee

By completing the Aperture Quest, you are guaranteed a 3Q brain upgrade, as verified by your brain monitoring data. If after completing the Quest, your brain monitoring data does not confirm baseline 3Q capability (the ability to activate 3Q at will), your money will be refunded.

How Can We Offer This
Amazing Guarantee?

We can offer this Guarantee with confidence because we know from studies in neuroscience that the Aperture Quest develops your 3Q brain circuitry by the process of neuroplasticity. A 3Q brain has developed the neural capacity to experience spiritual intelligence at will. In addition, the 3Q brain is polarised to the subject-pole not the object-pole, even when not activating SQ intentionally. This means that your starting position in most moments has shifted beyond your ego. The evidence for this is confirmed by studies in neuroscience and transpersonal psychology [see references]. So we can offer our Guarantee with confidence because we know from experience that after you complete the Aperture Quest (5 minutes practice of the 3Q Method per day for three months), the data from your headband will verify that you have developed baseline 3Q capability, defined as the ability to activate 3Q at will.

Richard Griffiths

Richard Griffiths is a psychologist and corporate trainer. He is the founder of the 3Q Institute and a former National Chairman of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the Australian Psychological Society. His published work represents his findings from a lifetime of research and practice as a psychologist and spiritual practitioner. Alongside his research in psychology, he maintained a personal spiritual practice, and had first hand experience of a number of different spiritual traditions. Eventually a secular synthesis of psychology and spirituality emerged from his research in the form of the spiritual intelligence paradigm, which is the foundation of training at the 3Q Institute.

Bastianela Bente

Bastianela Bente is a speaker, trainer, and spiritual intelligence coach. She is the director of 3Q Romania and deputy director of the 3Q Institute. Bastianela runs 3Q programs for the public and for business, both in-person and online. She has been invited on several occasions to speak about 3Q on national television in Romania. Her work as a teacher of spiritual intelligence draws on more than 20 years of experience as a yoga practitioner and meditator. “I love to share the science and practice of spiritual intelligence with people from all over the world, as the remedy for all kinds of unnecessary suffering, and as the most powerful means to find enduring fulfilment.”

ITMO

Instant Transformation Moment

ITMO Instant Transformation Moments happen every day at a preset time when we practice spiritual intelligence together for a moment worldwide. The ITMO program builds a template for global transformation in seed form that is scalable to the required dimensions for global impact. The ITMO program is an opportunity to practice 3Q with others as a means of personal development and at the same time as a contribution to global transformation.

Activism and SQ

Social and political engagement is an integral part of spiritual intelligence. The purpose of spiritual intelligence cannot be reduced to private gains of an individual, because SQ is inherently about our connection to others and to the whole. On the Aperture Quest you will choose a form of social or political activism to support in your own way. The Aperture Quest therefore not only boosts your personal growth but also contributes to the evolution of society and to the next stage in the evolution of collective consciousness.

Why Corporates Must Invest in SQ

Research shows that when organisations invest in 3Q and train their people in spiritual intelligence, creativity and innovation increase, employee engagement rises, and productivity grows [see references]. 3Q Training also reforms corporate governance by creating a culture that conducts business according to the ethics of spiritual intelligence. Moreover, by inspiring employees with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose, 3Q Training aligns organisations with a social mission beyond the profit motive. Corporations thus realise their full potential not only to maximise productivity, but also to contribute to human wellbeing and the common good, by developing and utilising the full range of their employees’ innate intelligence.

Three Dimensions of Intelligence

Why SQ Belongs in Schools

Schools mainly focus on developing IQ skills, with a smaller percentage of time given to developing EQ skills. However, recently schools have begun to teach SQ skills to their students, with the inclusion of Mindfulness and other forms of meditation. This is a welcome and necessary development. Today’s students need to command the full range of their intelligence for their own benefit and for the benefit of the world. The Spiritual Intelligence Course for Students is a free course that equips students with the spiritual intelligence skills to meet the challenges and opportunities of the new millennium.

Mindfulness and SQ

Mindfulness returns again and again to the object of attention and spiritual intelligence returns again and again to the subject of attention. As a result Mindfulness transcends ego-content but spiritual intelligence transcends ego-identity. By transcending ego content Mindfulness creates calm and focus, but by going one step further and transcending ego identity, SQ gives access to your true identity and all the qualities and capabilities of your higher self. Spiritual intelligence thus includes and exceeds Mindfulness.

What Others Are Saying

“This course provides a framework for understanding your own experience and for understanding the spiritual process. As a corporate lawyer of 25 years experience, this course has been invaluable. What I learned on this course has become the cornerstone of everything I do personally and professionally.”

Victoria Stewart

“A few years ago I can honestly say I didn’t know what spiritual intelligence was. I only knew what most other people know about human intelligence, IQ & EQ. I thought my success was primarily dictated by my IQ, and that this couldn’t be altered. But learning the 3Q method has enabled me to connect with myself and others on a far deeper level than I could ever comprehend. I now feel at peace with myself, I feel centered, in control, I make better decisions and more quickly, my relationships have improved, I feel truly connected with myself and everything around me and I feel an inner confidence that I have never experienced before. The success, joy and rapid personal growth that I am experiencing is down to discovering and nurturing my SQ, of that I have no doubt.”

Dr. Adrian Massey

“The best way of integrating psychology and spirituality in a usable form. It’s right here!”

Alisa Farnham

“It has been an amazing journey of self-discovery during the completion of this course. I do believe that the 3Q process unlocks the power to unite mind, body and soul. It definitely emerges as a new paradigm of intelligence by putting our soul in command of our ego and ultimately infuses us with soul energy. I have no hesitation in recommending this course. It is the way forward in order to harness our strengths, help others and improve society by using a higher dimension of our intelligence.”

Anita DeMonte

“From a personal and professional perspective I have gained an immense amount of clarity and understanding about the issues I have been grappling with for most of my life. In my view this course has immense value for anyone wishing to gain deeper insight and understanding of their own nature.”

Jane Colebourn

“Having consciously searched over the last 15 years for answers, I’ve read countless books & tried numerous methods to find inner & outer peace with really no sustained results or success. SQ education and practice has been the single most pivotal point in my journey thus far, to attain freedom and peace. Not only does this method offer immediate relief from the torturous and suffering ego, but consistent application (anytime, anywhere) causes a profound paradigm shift to your total perception of awareness. One of the greatest things about the 3Q method is that it is so simple to grasp. Something else that I really appreciated about this research and study, is the non secular approach which allows you to maintain any previous spiritual or religious beliefs/views. This method will help dissolve or release you from any old baggage that is not serving you on the path to peace.”

Clint Ponte

“Have been waiting three months to put this comment… Wanted to be 100% certain, to be honest with others and me, and must admit that after 90 days of practice with this method, in all honesty, I can say without any doubts or regret that the source of true power and true happiness lies within mastering this method.”
