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?

I was reading this blog and kinda’ reflect how management of top corporations in the Philippines would handle issues like this?
David pointed how leadership can set an example, have the b**ls to “take it to the chin“– taking responsibility for the error and accepting the consequences.

Prov. 29:18: Where there is no vision, the people perish…
I was blog hopping when I noticed the post of Jim Walton about being noisy but lacking on vision. He pointed to the blog of Tony Morgan where this nugget of wisdom was unearthed:
People will follow vision, they won’t follow information.
Both Jim and Tony, in my understanding, are believers serving God with all their heart.
I find their post interesting so I decided to add value to their thoughts and trackback to their blogs.
In my experience, either in ministry, corporate world and professional blogging, though people appreciate and process information for our day to day decisions. This does not translate or command following.
Vision, however, is what will capture the heart and imagination of people– In the corporate world, employees stay and become loyal to the organization not only because of money, but because they share and co-own the vision.

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?
