SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE: THE ORIGINAL
by Dr. Jennifer Palthe
At the dawn of the intelligence era, the speed and accessibility of knowledge has escalated at an unprecedented rate. No prior era has been able to convert information and translate it into working knowledge across such immense distances with such speed. Unquestionably, the rate and scope of the accessibility of knowledge has had a profound effect on how humans perform even the most essential everyday activities. Virtually instantaneous answers to fundamental questions regarding location, distance, time, and temperature are readily available. The overabundance of knowledge, ironically however, has not produced a substantial increase in genuinely intelligent action. While our access to and awareness of intelligence has increased, there are still people everywhere who are desperate for answers, solutions, foresight and truth. Even our deeper appreciation for the value of things like emotional intelligence and cultural intelligence have not solved our growing global social crises. The commodity of genuine wisdom-in-action appears scarce, if we look at the state of the world.
It seems like all of creation is at an apparent tipping point and there is a growing global sense that we are approaching something of eternal finality. Are we ready? Have we exhausted the depths of true wisdom? Where does intelligence and spirituality intersect? Have we applied the same level of attention we’ve given to academic intelligence and artificial intelligence to spiritual intelligence? Have we simply been accumulating knowledge but missed the Originator of it? Have we overly embraced rationality and the material world at the expense of a personal relationship with our Maker? If our technological innovations have produced such advancements, why is our world experiencing all-time record levels of crises?
If your eternal destiny depends on it, how determined are you to discover your genuine spiritual intelligence? How exhaustive and thorough are you prepared to be in examining the real state of your spiritual condition? How sure are you that your spiritual aptitude is at the level it was designed to be? This is a book that is going to challenge you to think about your spiritual intellectual quotient, test your assumptions about your spiritual aptitude, as well as examine your genuine connectivity with the spiritual realm. Irrespective of where you are in your spiritual journey, I invite you to venture with me as we explore the phenomenon of spiritual intelligence, why it’s so vital, how it compares with other types of intelligence, it’s dimensions and degrees, what the knock-off brands look like, and keys to developing and maintaining it.

About the Book
ITS TIME TO RETHINK SPIRITUAL SMARTS
All of creation is at a tipping point, and there is a growing global sense that we are approaching something of eternal finality. Are we ready? Have we applied to spiritual intelligence the same level of attention we’ve given to IQ, EQ, CQ, and AI? If our technological innovations have produced such advancements, why are we experiencing all-time record levels of global crises? Why has human ingenuity not sufficed?
This life-changing book will test your assumptions about your spiritual aptitude and encourage you to examine your connectivity with the spiritual realm. While it’s not intended to be a vehicle to make you more religious or self-righteous, it serves as a tool to enhance your spiritual intelligence. Through eye-opening analogies and practical strategies, you will come to appreciate it’s not for a select group of ultra-spiritual elites but for everyday people like you and me.
