Spirituality: A DefinitionSpirituality is the innate human need to connect with something larger than ourselves (something sacred or Divine).
We care about this because we have:
• “Why” questions (Why is there suffering?)
• “What” questions (What should I be doing? Direction and Purpose for our lives)
• “How” questions (ethics, right action)
• And because we are sometimes in great pain…

Definition of Spiritual Intelligence
“Spiritual Intelligence is the ability to behave with Wisdom and Compassion while maintaining inner and outer peace (Equanimity) regardless of the situation.”

Higher Self & “Love one another”• The Golden Rule exists in all the major
faith traditions and in most philosophies of life (treat others as you wish to be treated)
• We want “Love.” But what is Love?
Compassion Wisdom
Love is a Bird with two wings…
So spiritual intelligence is acting with Love…

Goal: Higher Self Drives, Ego “navigates”
Ego Higher Self
Think of your Ego as an important part of the whole. It can sometimes have good advice but shouldn’t be “behind the wheel”!
