Spiritual Intelligence
Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence beyond the ego that has access to the advanced qualities and capabilities of the true self, in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Spiritual intelligence is not religious and does not require beliefs of any kind. Spiritual intelligence is entirely a matter of experiencing the truth of who you are.
Consider this: whatever arises to your attention, you are the one who is aware of it. Therefore, you are not your body and you are not your mind. Instead, you are the consciousness of your body and mind, including all the contents of your mind (thoughts, emotions, and perceptions). Therefore, no matter how sceptical you are, you cannot escape the essential spiritual truth that you are not your thoughts and emotions, but you are consciousness itself. Consciousness itself feels inherently peaceful, compassionate and loving. This is the foundation of spiritual intelligence.
When we live with spiritual intelligence, it is a liberating experience because it frees us from the perspective of scientific materialism, which reduces human beings to machines and persuades us that life is nothing more than a random accident. Scientific materialism is the most painful limitation of the conditioned mind in contemporary mainstream culture. It is responsible for extremes of existential anxiety that have driven millions of people to desperation and despair. The consequences continue to undermine human society, and destroy attempts to create global cooperative community. This reductionist mentality can no longer be tolerated if human society is to survive and thrive. The remedy can only be found in the light of spiritual truth. This is why spiritual intelligence is emerging now. Spiritual intelligence is the new paradigm whose time has come [1].
How to Experience Spiritual Intelligence
It’s not enough just to know the facts about spiritual intelligence; it’s also essential to know how to experience spiritual intelligence in order to benefit from this higher dimension of your own intelligence. 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 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 [2]. 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 [3], 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.

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.
