Here’s an interesting video on how humans are fundamentally inclined and influenced by spirituality. Here’s some interesting research in this area, done by M.D. Andrew Newberg on this interesting convergence.

When we really ask ourselves deep inside, honestly, don’t we have this feeling that we, as humans, are more than just a biological organism, which we sometimes tend to put out just to keep away from the sensitive topic of spirituality?

Is it a good education, earning lots of money, owning that dream car and house and having a family? Now even if we think that we have achieved success, because we managed to fulfill our dreams and wishes having acquired material wealth and possessions, there will come a point in time when we still find our lives somewhat empty and meaningless. Despite all that we have, something is still missing and so we go on searching. An interesting video to this meaningless search done by the great people from ymca …

We always read about famous people, celebrities, politicians living the high life, giving everything they’ve got to pursue this perceived success but end up tragically, committing suicide, getting sucked into depression, succumbing to drugs, alcohol and sex. Do you envy them and consider that success? Honestly, far too many of us live our lives not knowing much about ourselves – what we are made up of, where we come from and where we are headed after we die.

So we ask the experts. Now scientists will break down human life to its DNA, attribute procreation to one’s parents and show you physical evidence of what happens to man after he dies.

Philosophers will discuss about life, showing how the mind interacts with the body and its environment while theologians will urge you to have faith in what you do not see readily with your physical eyes.

Since the time of the early 20th century, psychologists discovered ways and means to measure intelligence. They devised these tests to sort people into various degrees of intelligence. The theory is that the higher one’s IQ, the more intelligent the person is deemed to be. But IQ isn’t everything. IQ alone does not make the person.  It certainly is not a measure of whether a person eventually becomes successful in life or not. Some people may have high IQ but they use their intelligence to hurt others. Such people are frowned upon and they will eventually have to pay for their misdeeds. So I guess, that does not make them that smart after all.

In the mid-1990s, research by many neuro-scientists and psychologists showed that EQ – Emotional Quotient is a higher form of intelligence. In fact, it a basic requirement for the effective use of IQ. EQ is the ability and skill to identify and manage the emotions of one’s self and of others. If you have high EQ, you have a greater capacity to cope with the pressures from the environment and people. With a high EQ, you are probably well liked by others, are more likely to land a good job and excel in your relationships.

It has been observed that a person overpowered by emotions fails to act intelligently and rationally. So learning to manage one’s emotions is very important if you want to lead a successful life. And the secret to raising the level of our IQ and EQ, ladies and gentlemen, is to unleash the power and potential in our SQ. What then is SQ? We all came here to find out about this, right? Now scientists contend that the spiritual quotient is the ultimate intelligence. Explore this site to find out more about SQ.
