THE SEARCH FOR SPIRITUALITY: YOU MUST DISCOVER WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR INSIDE NOT OUTSIDE OF OURSELVES Spiritual intelligence is a coined term. It sounds familiar. Yet, most readers have never heard the term, never read about it and never discussed it with anyone else. Some may think they know its meaning, but they may be confusing spiritual intelligence with spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge is knowledge about spirituality. Spiritual intelligence is like the intelligence of a genius. A genius is born, not made. It does not matter how much or how little they know, they are always geniuses. Their genius can never be taken from them. Like genius, spiritual intelligence is a way of thinking. We are all born with it, live with it, and use it. It can never be taken from us. Yet many have not named it and do not have a conscious choice when they use it.

Spiritual intelligence is a scientific fact. It is true when you are feeling secure, at peace, loved and are happy you will see, hear and act differently than when you are feeling insecure, unhappy and unloved.

We all have peace, which is the presence of God within us. We access this presence by using our conscious spiritual thinking. We are not seeking the peace but the wisdom. It is like the prayer that asks for the serenity or peace and then the wisdom. We do not try to get the wisdom to get the peace, but the peace to get the wisdom. This wisdom is called spiritual intelligence and is defined in the following chapters.
