Why on earth do you say something like that?

Why do I say something like that? I’m not sure what specifically your question is about. Perhaps you are asking why I say that the soul is located at the subject-pole of attention? The reason I say this is because all the qualities traditionally ascribed to the soul can be experienced at the subject-pole of attention.
The principle of reasoning used here is traditionally known as Ockham’s Razor. This well-established principle states that the simplest explanation that accounts for all the evidence is the preferred one. When applied to this topic (the location of the soul), this principle confirms that a psychological analysis is preferable to a supernatural explanation, on the grounds that a psychological analysis provides a simpler explanation of the available evidence.
Recognition of the psychological location of the soul yields many benefits. Chief among these benefits is that the recognition of the psychological location of the soul makes it possible to experience the qualities of soul without relying on religious belief. The qualities of the soul are experienced at the subject-pole of attention in moments of presence, in the form of wisdom, compassion, joy, love, creativity, and peace.
Many people today simply reject religious belief. It’s evident that mere belief is completely unreliable as a foundation for knowledge, as history demonstrates beyond doubt. Many people therefore demand the evidence before they accept anything as true. Consequently, the fact that the soul can be accessed directly, on the evidence of direct personal experience, without relying on religious belief, is of great importance to many people.
So, in answer to your question, I wrote the article above for the benefit of millions of people today who seek spiritual truth based on reliable evidence, not based on unverifiable religious beliefs. The SQ paradigm thus updates the wisdom of the ages in contemporary secular terms.
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.
