Unlock the 4th Dimension of Intelligence
and instantly Think better, Feel better, Relate better, and Perform better

This 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.

Dimensions of Intelligence

Intelligence has more than one dimension. The full spectrum of intelligence has five dimensions. As the property of all life-forms, Physical Intelligence (PQ) is the first dimension of intelligence. The second and third dimensions of intelligence are about thought and emotion in the form of Intellectual Intelligence (IQ) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ). The 4th dimension of intelligence is about meaning and purpose in the form of Spiritual Intelligence (SQ). The ultimate dimension of intelligence beyond SQ is the non-dual awareness prior to individuation in the form of Transcendental Intelligence (TQ).

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, because you 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.

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.

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.

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 initiates the 3Q Cascade Effect, which grants wisdom and clarity of vision, and releases deeper empathy, love, and compassion. This 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.

Vertical and Horizontal

Spiritual intelligence represents vertical development because SQ is the intelligence of your higher self beyond the ego. 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 only 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.

Human Operating System

The twin poles of attention represent the human operating system, known as the humanOS, 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.

Why is Spiritual Awakening Regarded as Difficult?

Now we know that spiritual awakening is easy, but historically spiritual awakening was regarded as difficult. That’s because until recently people didn’t know about the human operating system (humanOS) and they didn’t know how to navigate the humanOS with ease and precision. But now we do know! Recent advances in psychology and neuroscience have identified the basic operating system of human awareness, and discovered a simple way to unlock the spiritual dimension of intelligence for instant spiritual realisation.

The Architecture of Identity

Personal identity is commonly assumed to be single and indivisible. But on closer inspection of lived experience, it becomes evident that personal identity has two fundamental and distinct domains: object-pole identity and subject-pole identity. These two poles of human identity are otherwise known as body-mind identity and existential identity, which correspond respectively to the ego and the soul.

Identity Management

By shifting from ego identity to soul identity, spiritual intelligence gains access to all the qualities and capabilities of your higher self. Therefore managing your state of identity is your main responsibility, because your identity determines your experiences, your responses, your results, and your destiny. Consequently, we need to be aware of our automatic tendency to adopt a false ego identity, by using the 4th dimension of intelligence to remember our true soul identity. Identity management is therefore the new stress management. Your ego carries the stress, not your soul. As the soul at the subject-pole, you can pre-empt stress before it happens, rather than just react to stress after it happens, as the ego at the object-pole. Therefore the most effective way to manage your stress is to manage your identity by navigating your humanOS.

Ego Mistake

When you don’t understand your humanOS, 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. In fact 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 find at the subject-pole what you would otherwise only seek in vain at the object-pole. And with the benefit of spiritual intelligence 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.

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.

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

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 SQ with IQ and EQ. Synchronous processing 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 so the easier it is to activate your 3Q, 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 this three month Quest you will use the 3Q Method for 5 minutes per day which is sufficient to upgrade your brain and enable you to access the full range of your intelligence at will.

Rapid Learning

You will learn the 3Q Method rapidly on this 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 enrol.

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 this Quest, you are rewiring your brain to make the 4th dimension of intelligence 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 this 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 this 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 this 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.

How Can We Offer This
Amazing Guarantee?

We can offer this Guarantee with confidence because studies in neuroscience confirm that use of the 3Q Method 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 this Guarantee with confidence because we know from experience that after you complete this 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.

Bastianela Bente,
Your Guide for Discovering and Using the 4th Dimension of Intelligence

Bastianela Bente is a speaker, trainer, and spiritual intelligence coach. She is the founder of 3Q Romania and deputy director of the 3Q Institute UK. She runs 3Q Programs for the Public, Schools and Companies, and has worked with hundreds of people from all over the world. Her work as a teacher of spiritual intelligence draws on more than 20 years of experience as a yoga practitioner, meditator, and coach.

Even though the 4th dimension of intelligence has been explored by spiritual practitioners for millennia, modern science has only recently started to find evidence of it in the human brain.

Bastianela’s own yogic and meditation-practitioner journey led her to discover and then teach people how to access their spiritual intelligence.

For over 20 years she has practiced yoga and meditation, and worked with many people from all over the world to help them improve their meditation practice and heal their lives. And what she found was disturbing!

Far too many people practicing meditation for many years were still not able to reach the meditation space at will. Their meditation practice was mainly a struggle with thoughts, to quieten the mind. It did not make sense! What was lacking?

After coaching so many people she found that what was missing was a clarity in understanding the spiritual process and a method that people could easily understand and apply to reach the meditation space anytime.

To her great happiness, a few years ago, in her personal quest to find the truth about life, and to discover who she really was at the core of her being, she came across the work of Richard Griffiths. That was the end of her struggle! When she understood the power and simplicity and clarity and precision of his work on spiritual intelligence, it became her life mission to teach it to as many people as possible. She felt moved to teach people how to resolve their inner struggles, how to reach the meditation space instantly, and how to bring the benefits of spiritual intelligence with all of its amazing and liberating qualities into their daily life.

She is now on a mission to make SQ as well-known as IQ, so that as many people as possible find out about this great news! We have a superior dimension of intelligence that can make us ego-free instantly. It is her mission to spread the knowledge and practice of 3Q in the world as the next big step in personal development and the next stage in human evolution.

Knowing how to engage your higher intelligence allows you to end any unnecessary suffering you may have. The 4th dimension of intelligence allows you to freely express your unique untapped potential, and to find the meaning and purpose in your life, thus helping create a much brighter, thriving, and caring world.

Bastianela guides you in understanding and applying the 3Q Teaching, which merges western psychology and eastern spiritual traditions to reveal the human operating system (humanOS), and the dimensions of intelligence we all have, how they relate to one another, and how we can use them to thrive and be fully human.

The 4th dimension of intelligence centres us in our hearts, which results in a life lived in peace and truth, with meaning, purpose, authenticity, integrity, spontaneity, creativity, and inner freedom. SQ is the intelligence that allows us to experience who we truly are in essence, and thus enables us to perform at our best. With spiritual intelligence we can appreciate life in its fullness and savour its beauty, and prove to ourselves beyond doubt that love is the meaning of life, and the foundation of all that is.

Richard Griffiths,
Author of the SQ Paradigm and Pioneer of the 4th Dimension of Intelligence

Richard Griffiths is a psychologist, trainer, and coach. He is the founder of the 3Q Institute UK and a former National Chairman of the Transpersonal Psychology Section of the Australian Psychological Society. He is the author of the spiritual intelligence methodology used in this Quest. His published work represents his findings from a lifetime of research and practice as a psychologist and spiritual practitioner.

From early years Richard was a dedicated seeker of truth. He enrolled in seminary in his teens to find out more about the nature of reality. Disenchanted with the requirement to believe what he had not experienced, he left the seminary and went to university to study psychology, in the belief that exploring the mind would further his mission to understand the nature of reality. But intellect on its own proved unequal to the task. It became clear that academic study could only take him so far on his quest for understanding.

The need to find the truth became all-consuming, to the point that life felt unendurable without answers to fundamental questions. He searched everywhere. After many years of study of theology, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, neuroscience, and physics, and after many more years of personal psychotherapy, there remained only one avenue of understanding that he had neglected to investigate up to then, which was spirituality. So he took the plunge and committed himself to spiritual practice. He continued daily practice under the guidance of a series of spiritual masters for a period of thirty years.

Simultaneously he worked as a psychotherapist and continued his research in transpersonal psychology. After decades of investigation and discovery he decided to publish what he had learned from his academic research combined with his personal experience as a psychologist and spiritual practitioner. His purpose was to offer a summary of his findings, highlighting what is most beneficial and usable for most people.

This was the birth of the spiritual intelligence paradigm. The SQ paradigm integrates psychology and spirituality in the form of a new synthesis that locates human growth and maturation along the spectrum of dimensions of intelligence. This secular synthesis of psychology and spirituality has a unique advantage.

The SQ paradigm explains in understandable psychological terms the relationship between different dimensions of intelligence, and shows how to shift between them with ease and precision. This is a great improvement over many traditional methods of accessing higher sates of consciousness, which are indirect, time-consuming, and unreliable.

Most importantly, SQ answers the heart’s question. SQ confirms there is meaning, that love is real, that peace can be found. You can discover this for yourself beyond doubt, from your own direct experience, without believing anything, when you know how. This treasure healed my heart, and I would love to share it with you. That’s what this Quest is all about.

Spiritual Intelligence and Activism

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 this Quest you will choose a form of social or political activism to support in your own way. This 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 Spiritual Intelligence Training

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.

Why Spiritual Intelligence Belongs in the School Curriculum

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.

Spiritual Intelligence and Mindfulness

Today Mindfulness is widely used as a form of meditation. One of the advantages of Mindfulness is that it can be easily used in a work setting. Mindfulness and Spiritual Intelligence have much in common, but there is also a significant difference.

Mindfulness is the practice of simply observing your experiences without judgement. Accordingly, Mindfulness returns again and again to the object of attention. By doing so without judgement, Mindfulness transcends the binding power of any particular object of the ego’s attention. This is in contrast to spiritual intelligence which returns again and again to the subject of attention. As a result, while Mindfulness transcends ego-content, spiritual intelligence transcends not only ego-content but also ego-identity.

By transcending ego-content, Mindfulness creates calm and focus, but by going one step further and transcending ego-identity, spiritual intelligence shifts to your true identity, which not only creates calm and focus but also gives access to all the qualities and capabilities of your higher self. Spiritual intelligence thus includes and exceeds Mindfulness.

At times some people who practice Mindfulness can go beyond simply transcending ego-content and shift to transcending ego-identity, which is the equivalent of spiritual intelligence. However, this shift beyond ego-identity is a secondary after-effect that may or may not occur while practicing the Mindfulness technique as described by teachers of Mindfulness, which is to “observe experience without judgement.” This is in contrast to the practice of spiritual intelligence as described here. In the practice of spiritual intelligence, the shift beyond ego-identity is not a secondary by-product of the practice that may or may not occur. On the contrary, the shift beyond ego-identity is the very core of the practice and the primary result of the practice of spiritual intelligence.

Therefore, the key distinction between Mindfulness and spiritual intelligence remains: Mindfulness is a practice that transcends ego-content without transcending ego-identity, although at times Mindfulness may result in transcending ego-identity, but only secondarily and at random. Whereas spiritual intelligence is a practice that inherently transcends ego-identity, directly and by design.
