How to Train your Brain to Develop Spiritual Intelligence [Video]

Three Dimensions of Intelligence

Three Dimensions of Intelligence

The SQ Portal

The SQ Portal represents the three steps from ego to soul, at the opposite pole of attention, which activate spiritual intelligence. Step 1 of the SQ Portal exercise IQ, by noticing the subject-pole of attention. Step 2 exercises EQ, by feeling the qualities of the subject-pole of attention. Step 3 exercises SQ, by being established as feeling-awareness itself, at the subject-pole of attention.

Neuroplasticity

The SQ Portal therefore requires the exercise of IQ and EQ followed by SQ in quick succession. This represents a whole brain workout. SQ whole brain frequencies result in hemispheric synchronisation and the resulting integration of part-brain functions, like IQ and EQ, into the whole brain network. By exercising the brain according to the SQ Portal you develop your SQ brain circuitry, based on a process of neuroplasticity. The science of neuroplasticity confirms that the brain develops neural networks rapidly when connections are exercised repeatedly. In this way you develop your spiritual intelligence.

Fastest Pathway

The three steps of the SQ Portal represent the fastest and most direct pathway from one pole of attention to the other. The resulting polar shift from ego to soul activates spiritual intelligence.

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.

Measuring SQ Development

Growth in SQ can be measured by means of brain monitoring. A wearable headband can measure improvements in brain activity that correspond to development of the 3Q neural network on neuro-plastic principles. The 3Q Brain represents a brain optimised for spiritual intelligence by means of a process of neural development.

The 3Q Brain

The resting state of attention in the 3Q Brain has permanently shifted from the object-pole of attention to the subject-pole of attention, thus replacing the ego with the soul, both as the governor of IQ and EQ, and as the seat of personal identity. The 3Q Brain therefore represents the incarnation of the soul.

How To Experience Spiritual Intelligence

The video below shows how to complete the three steps of the SQ Portal, and thus train your brain to develop your spiritual intelligence, which will ultimately lead to the evolution of your 3Q brain. Watch the video below for instructions on how to complete each step.

The SQ paradigm is based on a synthesis combining the wisdom of ancient spiritual traditions with the findings of modern science, as summarised in this article here.

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.

He is the founder of the 3Q Institute for Education and Training in Secular Spirituality, and former National Chairman of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the Australian Psychological Society. Drawing on his decades of research, he created a new framework that unites ancient wisdom with modern knowledge about psychology and spirituality. His work offers a new understanding of the human operating system, and a new method of experiencing spiritual intelligence that works instantly, among other significant innovations. His groundbreaking research on secular spiritual intelligence passed academic peer review, and helped to establish secular spirituality as a legitimate field of scientific investigation. He received a global Award for Outstanding Leadership in Education, and has given presentations on secular spiritual intelligence at international conferences, like the Conference on Advanced Research in Education and the Global Conference on Education and Teaching.
