Developing Spiritual Intelligence

This powerful and instructive book draws on the author's experience to generalise the process of awakening to one's intrinsic spiritual intelligence or presence. He begins by explaining a number of principles of self empowerment, which include positive ones like interconnection, universal Wisdom, alignment, responsibility and creation, but also negative principles like projection, reaction, the need for approval and the feeling of separation. He then goes on to explain the power of conscious intent, giving the first of a number of powerful invocations designed to move the reader along the path. Then comes the process of freeing oneself from various types of conditioning and the development of feeling and sensitivity. Throughout, there are a number of revealing case histories, including one where becoming more sensitive enabled a person to thrive in the high octane environment of an investment bank. What the author calls the soul wound involves the trauma of birth and separation, with its correlates of abandonment, rejection and a feeling of worthlessness. All these call for further processing, as does the projection of positive and negative qualities on other people. The journey from head to heart is especially important for men, but we all have obstacles and blockages to remove as we gradually increase our capacity to be present in the moment and embody our authentic self. A rewarding and illuminating handbook for genuine transformation.
