Just reminding everyone that Intelligence can mean Intellectual Intelligence or Emotional Intelligence or a combination of both.

That’s why Ravenclaws stayed to fight at the battle of Hogwarts, because some of them thought rationally, others thought emotionally and others in a combination of both. You can decide for yourselves which choice was the rational and which was the emotional -

The Definition of Spiritual Intelligence

by  Richard Griffiths

Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence that activates the qualities and capabilities of the authentic self (or the soul), in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Spiritual intelligence results in a sense of deeper meaning and purpose, combined with improvements in a wide range of important life skills and work skills.

Analysis of Spiritual Intelligence

SQ = P(IQ+EQ) where P = presence

As an analysis of spiritual intelligence, the above equation means that SQ equals IQ and EQ magnified by the power of presence. Thus spiritual intelligence results when intellectual and emotional intelligence are exercised in the state of presence. But what is presence? Although the experience of presence is unmistakable, nevertheless the nature of presence is often misunderstood.

The State of Presence

Presence is more than simply being aware of your immediate surroundings with greater clarity than usual. That’s only one of the results of presence. Presence is the shift from the object-pole of attention to the subject-pole of attention, which results in the corresponding shift from ego to soul. When you shift to the subject-pole of attention, by identifying with feeling-awarenesss itself instead of identifying with your body and mind, there is greater clarity about everything at the object-pole of attention, including your immediate surroundings. However, the essential nature of presence is the shift from ego to soul, and greater clarity of mind is one of the results.

Living from your Soul

Therefore the equation SQ = P(IQ+EQ) means that SQ equals IQ and EQ when governed by your soul. When your soul governs IQ and EQ, as it does in moments of presence, your ego is removed from command. Consequently, in those moments, your ego is not in charge of your thoughts, emotions, purposes, values, and actions. SQ is therefore your most valuable personal resource, because it puts your soul in command. The soul does a much better job than the ego, since the soul is the source of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace. Therefore SQ realises your full potential, by living from your soul, and thus transforms the life destiny that would otherwise be created by the ego.
