In a post about 5 months ago, I briefly discussed about spiritual intelligence. I got several inquiries from students and managers alike since then. So please allow me to re-post an article I wrote years ago. This is also my advocacy, I will release a mini e-book on the subject soon and expect more from me on this subject.
In one forum there was this query:
I think quite a few of us believe in the inadequacy of traditional science being unable to explain our universe, being unable to explain how to have a positive attitude, and how to live. We believe that possibly, there are no accidents, and the life we are living in is our choice.
I want to learn from you on how to put this spirituality into a typical skill building training program.…. I believe that the key to helping people is not develop their skills, but to build that little voice they hear inside their head every now and then. The voice that is bereaving them from within, and is having a conversation with them… Is there anyone here who has attempted to do this wants to share the experience?
After Emotional Intelligence, analysts are now looking at Spiritual Intelligence (SI) as another means of addressing personal, business and career related quandary. While IQ and EQ are not new, SI is still in the infancy stage, at least in the Philippines. This article will discuss SQ and its connection to personal effectiveness and career development.

I would like to share one of the points discussed by Dr. David Sumrall, in his teaching last Sunday (8/19/07). I thought this would be of interest to some of you.
As backgrounder, the teaching is about the Jewish people under Moses, during their 40 years in the desert.
If you are familiar with the Jewish history and/or Old Testament stories, specifically the last part of Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Joshua. After Moses led the Jewish people out of Egypt, they wondered in the desert for the next 40 years.
Have you ever wondered why it took them 40 years to enter the promise land, and only the new generation was eligible to enter?

Everything has been will come back again. Everything that has ever done will be done again. Nothing is new on earth. There isn’t anything about which someone can say, ‘Look there is something new’. It was already here long ago. It was here before we were. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 (NIrV)
Have you ever noticed? Successful products are not new inventions, rather an “innovation” or “improvement” of what already exists. From Betamax to VHS, from VHS it evolved to Laser Disc’s, Laser Disc’s to VCD’s and from VCD its now DVD’s. What would be next?

Put on nice clothes and make yourself look good.
Ecclesiastes 9:8 (NCV)
Not all people have realized the importance of good grooming. Likewise, some Christians are not aware that this is a biblical subject and one of the instructions of God.
The dignity of a person is partly seen thru his grooming. Not necessarily by sporting expensive clothes, perfume and accessories, or by being endowed with good genes. Our dignity is reflective of our values and self discipline. Read more…

“Suppose a ruler gets very angry with you. If he does, don’t quit your job… Stay calm. That will overcome the effects of your big mistake”.
- King Solomon, son of David, Ecclesiastes 10:4 (NIrV)
All of us made mistakes-small or big. But what makes successful people different are their courage and willingness to face the consequences of their actions. They don’t hide, they don’t pass the buck, and they don’t run away. Read more…
