Spiritual Growth

THE SPIRITUAL JOURNEY, A PERSPECTIVE

By Suzanne E. Harrill            

Curiosity started me on the spiritual journey. I had no idea that this trait would draw to me information, books, people, and experiences that would transform my life. I did not even know I was on a journey for a good while. Now I understand from experience what people mean when they say they are "on the Path." What exactly is the spiritual journey?

The more OK I become with me, the easier it is to accept who you are. I no longer expect (a polite term for demand) you to be what I need for you to be in order for me to feel OK about myself. I bring my own joy to the relationship. And so therefore when I don't need for you to provide any part of my joy, I am free to just relax and appreciate you...

Spiritual Intelligence and Why It Matters

by Cindy Wigglesworth
President Conscious Pursuits, Inc. (CPI)

In 1905 Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon developed the first modern intelligence test.  Since that time we have been debating what “intelligence” is, where it comes from, and how to develop it. Our “Intelligence Quotient” or “IQ” is generally thought of as our analytical or mathematical intelligence and our linguistic intelligence.  Initially it was expected that IQ would be a strong predictor of success in careers.  In fact, it has turned out to be a weak predictor of success.  IQ appears to be related to minimum standards to enter a given a profession.  Once you have chosen your career, what actually leads to success is far more complicated...
