HOW TO GROW YOUR SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE POWERFULLY
Dear Gina,
I’ve grown up going to a baptist church, attended catholic schools and visited many other Christ led churches. These days, I hear a lot about spirituality. Is this a trendy new religion? ~Victor
Dear Victor,
Spirituality or spiritual intelligence is the ability to act with wisdom and compassion, while maintaining inner and outer peace, regardless of the circumstances. -Cindy Wigglesworth
Spiritual intelligence is a higher dimension of intelligence that activates the qualities and capabilities of the authentic self (or the soul), in the form of wisdom, compassion, integrity, joy, love, creativity, and peace.
The ego mindset teaches the traditions of the elders. There are many laws, with accompanying consequences. All of this leads to a spirit of condemnation, fear and a lack mindset.
The love message of your religious prophet invites you into a relationship of mercy and self control. There's no condemnation in LOVE.
Your higher self is the interface between the inner man and the soul (mind and emotions) and how the relationship communicates with the outside world.
Love,
Gina
Growing your spiritual intelligence is being aware of how you're occurring moment by moment.
Pause frequently and check in with yourself...
What's this pattern showing me?
What am I focusing on?
Should I try a different strategy to move forward?
Am I using today's energy profitably?
What is the still small voice that's whispering, guiding me towards?
