Human Operating System
From Ego to Soul
The ego and the soul are located at opposite poles of attention. The ego is identified with states of body and mind at the object-pole of attention, and the soul is identified with consciousness itself at the subject-pole of attention.
Consciousness Itself
Consciousness itself, which is otherwise known as the soul, is the witness of objects of attention. The native qualities of consciousness itself are experienced at the subject-pole of attention in moments of presence, in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Responsibility therefore depends on the capability of shifting from the ego to the soul at the opposite pole of attention, which activates spiritual intelligence.
Foundation of Ethics
Therefore ethics aren’t about obeying moral rules. Nor do ethics depend on believing in the existence of a separate divine creator being. The experience of spiritual intelligence is full of love and compassion, which is the foundation of ethics. Consequently, ethical behaviour simply depends on engaging your 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.

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.
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 activate SQ intentionally. Watch the video here.

3Q Practitioner Training Course
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.

Hey, Many thanks for the great post. I was looking for certain material on this subject, and your content helped me a lot. Awesome! Many thanks.
I think this is a really good site. You definitely have a fabulous grasp of the subject matter and explain it really well.
Typically seeing another persons level of light enlightens my own vision. I am not going to going to say what everyone else has already stated, however i need to say, I didn’t realise how much of this I just wasnt aware of. Thanks for publishing more info on this topic for us.
Your blog post about ethics is a comfort and inspiration to me. A friend once informed me about some of the info you share although I thought it was not accurate because I had another opinion which had remained with me for years. Based on your article, I know he was right. I think I will send him a text message. Probably add your website link as well. He too must know more of the things the whole world has learned from your articles. Thanks
I’ve got to write about this for a class Im taking, related to this. This definitely helped me, so thanks you A LOT. Regards, Earnestine Davis

Thank you for the great review of this subject. I was doing some research on ethics, I looked at some books on this subject from our local library, but they weren’t as clear and convincing as your information. I am very pleased to see such info which I have been seeking for a long time. This made me very glad.
First off I would like to say wonderful blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head prior to writing. I have a hard time clearing my mind and getting my ideas out there. I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips? Many thanks!
I wasn’t aware of the many ripples and depth to this subject until I found this website. Good job.

Surprising amount of time I spent here. I even forgot to complete my other activity because of your wonderful site! It doesnt matter because it’s worth it to learn new knowledge.

Good day! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I truly enjoy reading through your articles. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thanks a lot!
When people talk about this issue, sometimes they just don’t explain it adequately, or as thoroughly as necessary. I can understand your post because it has been explained properly.
All I can say is continue to keep it up. This internet site is so essential in a time when the majority just want to talk about the latest cheating spouse story. I mean, many thanks for bringing intelligence back to the web, its been sorely missed. Magnificent stuff. Please keep it coming!
I know this is actually boring and you’re simply skipping to the next comment, but I just wanted to throw a big thanks! We really discovered this on yahoo, and im happy we did. I’ll definitely be returning…

I am impressed, I have to say. Really rarely do I discover a blog that is both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. Your opinion is important; the matter is something that not many people are talking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to this.
I believe this web site contains some rattling great information for everyone 😀
I completely agree with this article. The internet is without doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe, and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly.
I wasn’t aware of the many implications and true depth of this perspective until I surfed here. Good job!
I have been seeking this info for a while. After hours of continuous searching on Google, finally I got the info I need on your website. I wonder what’s the lack of Google strategy that do not rank this kind of informative website at the top of the list. Usually the top sites are full of garbage.
You have done a remarkable job! Appreciate your fantastic articles. This blog makes my day…
