Spiritual Intelligence for SuccessA
Spiritual intelligence for success requires that we locate our notions
for intelligence within Spirit. There is One intelligence where all
truth comes which manifests through the of many aspects.
Instead of
culturally constructing ideas of intelligence around passing fads and
the loudest voice, from only where we stand, place it in the still
quiet understanding and identification with the purposes of God.
Intelligence for too long has been used as a measure of worth to show
the worthlessness of our point of view above others. This situation is
a
mass contradiction in terms because a spiritual intelligence for
success begins with the ability to bring out the goodness and to serve
others. To serve is the starting place where all intelligence begins.
Traditionally this spiritual intelligence for success has been evident
in the use of the spiritual gifts. The fascination with Darwin's theory
of natural selection at the start of this century started a desperate
and unnecessary scampering in many parties to find out who is the
superior. This desperation was an ego driven campaign to belittle other
classes and individuals born out of the fear of the natural selection
mythology. To get a good idea
of where our spiritual intelligence for success is going we should get
an idea of where it came from.
All
worthy intelligence comes from Holy Spirit. The discovery of modernism
has been that ALL other measures of intelligence have been flawed.
For the early part of
this century
IQ measured through the Stamford Burnett (IQ) intelligence test was
thought the
ultimate measure. A measure came about with the need to find suitable
candidates from poorer to go to further study and receive scholarships.
In this regard it was a useful tool to look at the future success of
the individual. This century has revealed a lot of the problems of
measuring solely by this system which was really only designed to
predict how well a student would is likely to do in an Early 20th
Century scholastic environment. While the function of giving the poorer
student the chance to rise above their circumstance was a noble
enterprise over the course of the century the test became as much of a
barrier, as it was an aid to the impoverished student. The test did
little to recognize that intelligence in it's many facets and placed
intelligence in a cultural cage. If you were rich you could do well in
the culturally constructed intelligence measure while the impoverished
student was left to bask in the humiliation of a system that
perpetuated this cruel myth throughout all it's cultural institutions
that they were unintelligent.
A measure of intelligence that is God centered is crucial Kids who came from the poorer families were equally intelligent as the children from the wealthier families who would have done much better in th IQ tests. When we replaced the original spiritual intelligence for success, the spiritual gifts with the (IQ) test which we now know was culturally biased, what we did was say is intelligence = money. You could learn to do well in those test but essentially it was constructed in such a way that if you had the cultural and social conditioning which come from your material circumstance then you were intelligent. Put simply, if you were rich you were smart which is true enough in one sense but it does not give the full picture. Richness of life has many facets that we are only beginning to uncover, but true richness and intelligence comes from knowing Gods creation purposes for you here on earth. Since the IQ test we have had Emotional Intelligence and Howard Gardners multiple intelligences and a whole host of other means which give a fuller palette of the ways one can be rich in this world. But however much you try to skew them none of them can escape the cultural cage of our essential nature They all need some substantial ego societal and self structure sustaining them and that structure is the mythology of natural selection. Face the reality of this myth and you will find a true intelligence that begins with serving. Intelligence requires a structure It is make a blueprint for
development, a theology, a way of knowing and for growing in the image
of Christ, and not in competition with him.
A way of knowing is emerging which has the power to transform the way we live. The question is, Are Christians going to take ownership of the truth within it or sqander the opportunity? Wisdom and Mercy and a spiritual intelligence for success Miricles and Leadin and a spiritual intelligence for success Apostles and Coachingand a spiritual intelligence for success Faith and Healing and a spiritual intelligence for success Discernment and Help and a spiritual intelligence for success Phrophesy and Ministry and a spiritual intelligence for success Giving and a spiritual intelligence for success Teaching and Knowledge and a spiritual intelligence for success Leading and Culture and a spiritual intelligence for success To serve others is to build capital in the spiritual intelligences for success. THOSE WHO HAVE WILL GAIN MORE at each step in the process. Each level of this journey is the journey of how society gains a spiritual intelligence for success. At each phase of human development gods wisdom has been available for us to use. The titles of this site isolate an issue that helps us to understand how this spiritual intelligence for success has helped us to get ever closer to a living God in spiritual intelligence. Each level has a trademark characteristic of how that level of spirituality operates in the world. The concepts of the titles grow in complexity throughout the Spiritual-Self journey. The purpose of this site is not too dig our heels in, and isolate, and attack ideas and concepts different from our own. But to find a way to see Gods creation at work in the Other. Through ever increasing circles of love we have an opportunity to do the originally intended work of the Church, and undo what's been to misrepresent the Savior. Along with these page titles there is also a spiritual intelligence that can help you to understand the cultural cages that we escape from with every manifestation of gods wisdom.
