3- Levels of Human Intelligence Quotient

• Intelligence Quotient (IQ) : Enhancement of Problem solving Logic & Memory retrieval

• Emotional Quotient (EQ) : Feelings for Self & others and ability to tackle adverse situations

• Spiritual Quotient (SQ) : Unfolding of Deeper levels of SELF with Selflessness (no connection with the so called religion)

A.M.Ghosh 3

SQ relates to Ultimate Intelligence

• “ In the 1990s, research by neuropsychologist Michael Persinger and neurologist V.S. Ramachandran at the University of California led to an identification of a 'God-spot' in the human brain. .. the God-spot does not prove the existence of 'God', it does indicate that the brain is programmed to ask ultimate questions.” – [from the book of Danah Zohar and Ian Marshall --

The spiritual Intelligence -- the Ultimate Intelligence]

A.M.Ghosh 4

‘God-Spot’-- Abode of Atma

• “This area is located among neural connections in the temporal lobes of the brain. During scans with positron emission topography, these neural areas light up whenever research subjects are exposed to discussion of spiritual topics.” Of course, the light up situation was found dependent on the culture and the background of the person being subjected to PET scan. [ Ancient Hindu sages used to refer this location as the abode of ‘Atma’]

In Search of Absolute Truth

• Development of IQ & EQ will be sufficient for the manifestation of P-Consciousness & A-Consciousness

• For the manifestation of QM , more emphasis on SQ is required

Civilization is facing crisis every now & then
