Contemporary Spirituality
Contemporary spirituality is secular not religious. Religious spirituality is based on ancient beliefs that have insufficient evidence to support them because if the evidence was sufficient they would be facts not beliefs. Whereas secular spirituality is not based on beliefs but on experience and knowledge, backed by evidence from related fields of scientific research. Read more about this here.
Paradigm Shift
The secular reformation of spirituality in the 21st century is more significant than the Protestant reformation of Christianity in the 16th century. In fact, the secular reformation of spirituality is the most consequential paradigm shift in history, because it provides the conceptual foundation for post-materialist science and a shared language for the meeting of science and spirituality.

Revolutionary
The secular reformation of spirituality is revolutionary for religious institutions and for secular institutions alike. This is because previous to the secular reformation of spirituality both religious institutions and secular institutions believed that spirituality depends on, or implies, belief in the existence of a separate creator God. But this is not so. Belief in the existence of a separate creator God is not the foundation of spirituality, and not necessary for spiritual realisation. Read more about this here.
Human Operating System
The secular reformation of spirituality uses a new analysis of the human operating system that distinguishes between the object-pole of attention and the subject-pole of attention. This distinction makes it possible to describe the process of spiritual realisation in psychological terms rather than in theological terms, thus validating the secular reformation of spirituality.

Human Operating System
New Definition
The secular reformation of spirituality defines the soul not in theological terms but in secular terms, based on consciousness studies and findings in transpersonal psychology. This new definition defines the soul as consciousness itself, located at the subject-pole of attention, to which everyone has direct access without relying on belief. This contemporary understanding of the soul is a major contribution to the secular reformation of spirituality. Read more about this here.
New Synthesis
The secular reformation of spirituality rests on a new synthesis combining ancient spiritual wisdom with modern scientific knowledge derived from several independent fields of scientific research, including cognitive psychology, transpersonal psychology, and neuroscience. This synthesis of science and spirituality exemplifies the secular reformation of spirituality. Read more about this here.
New Method
The secular reformation of spirituality offers not only a secular definition of spirituality but also a secular method of engaging in spiritual practice that enables anyone to experience instant spiritual realisation without relying on beliefs. Previous to the secular reformation of spirituality, secular people had no means of access to spiritual realisation because spiritual practice required adopting religious beliefs that are entirely unacceptable to secular people.

3Q Training
As a powerful combination of three principal dimensions of intelligence, 3Q represents IQ (intellectual intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence) in association with SQ (spiritual intelligence). Studies in neuroscience reveal that the experience of spiritual intelligence is correlated with hemispheric synchronisation and whole brain activation [1]. 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 [2], 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 you can do on 3Q Training. Read more about this 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.
