From Spiritual Intelligence and Intuition
Too late, we are all doomed according to the men who know. Who are we to argue? May as well make the best of what time we have left.

The “men who know” told us lots of stuff. For example, in the 19th century, when railways were first being built, the “men who know” told us that travelling more than 30 miles per hour would cause lethal harm to the human body. That speed was the top speed of a horse, which was the fastest form of transport available prior to the railways. So the “men who know” didn’t know much at that time. At various points in history, the “men who know” told us with solemn authority that the sun goes round the earth, that the earth is flat, and that the stars are little holes in the dome of the heavens through which divine light shines upon us, etc etc.
Never mind the “men who know”. They haven’t got a great track record. What do you know? If you apply the SQ methodology you will know a lot more than you might have expected. For one thing you will know that you can experience the spiritual qualities of the soul, in the form of peace, compassion, joy, love, wisdom, integrity, and creativity. This doesn’t mean that you won’t die, but it does mean that your life doesn’t have to be a painful adventure of the ego. Instead your life can be the fulfilling journey of the soul. It’s not too late. You are wrong about that. You can find this out for yourself. See below for a video that shows how.

From Spiritual Intelligence and Ethics
I’m not convinced of that…
Reply
It’s common for religious believers to assert that without belief in God there is no basis for ethics. However this is not so. SQ is sufficient for ethics. When attention is free from bondage to the ego at the object-pole of attention, the impulse of the heart shines through. Therefore at the subject-pole of attention, compassion predominates, which is the foundation of ethics. But IQ alone is not enough to convince you of this. You have to experience it for yourself, which goes beyond IQ. Only then will you be convinced. When you activate SQ, you experience yourself as being consciousness itself, instead of being your body and mind. Consequently you experience the spiritual qualities of the soul, in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Then it becomes obvious that the foundation of ethics is the exercise of SQ, not obedience to a set of rules, or belief in the existence of a God. Therefore, in order to be convinced of the truth of this, it’s necessary not only to understand the meaning of the words, but also to experience what the words describe. See below for a video about how to do this.

From Spiritual Intelligence and Self-esteem
That’s easier said than done, isn’t it?

I guess you mean it’s easier to say what I said about self-esteem in this post, than it is to actually do it. Yes, you are right. But it’s much easier than you might think to activate your spiritual intelligence. Then it’s easy to locate the source of enduring self-esteem. Spiritual intelligence is easy to experience, because it represents our native state of awareness. See below for a video that shows how.
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.
