Spiritual Quotient (SQ)


SQ (based on the brain's third neural system, the synchrounous neural oscillations that unify data across the whole brain) offer us a viable tertiary process for the first time. This process unifies, integrates and has potential to transform material arising from the IQ and EQ. It facilitates a dialogue between reason and emotion, between mind and body. It provides a fulcrum for growth and tranformation for a sustainability tommorow. It provides the self with an active, unifying, meaning-giving centre.


SQ is an internal and inner wisdom, innate ability of the human brain and psyche, drawing its deepest resources from the heart of the universe itself. SQ is the soul's intelligence. It is the intelligence with which we heal ourselves and with which we make ourselves whole. SQ is the intelligence that rest in the deep part of the self that is connected to wisdom from beyond the IQ, or concious mind, it is the intelligence with which we are not only recognize existing values, but with which we creatively discover new values. SQ has 'wired' us to become people we are and gives us potential for further 'rewiring' - for growth and transformation, for further evolution of our human potential. SQ is our compass 'at the edge'. 'The edge' is the border between order and chaos, between knowing comfortably what we are about and being totally lost. It is the place where we can be at our most creative. SQ, our deep, intuitive sense of meaning and value, is our guide 'at the edge'. SQ is our conscience, it take us to understanding of who we are and what things mean to us, and how these give others and their meaning a place in our own world.


Realizing the important of SQ, future medical doctors should take some of their time to learn how to nurture and develop their SQ properly. With appropriate level of SQ they will be better and good doctors. If we fail to develop our SQ, actually we plan to ruin ourselves. Think about it and let us transforming ourselves into a sustainable tommorow.
