Psychological Intelligence is freedom to choose who you want to be when you want to be at any given time.
It is the foundation of the main intelligences because where Emotional Intelligence focuses on choosing
your reaction along with the self awareness to control your emotions and who you are being,
psychological intelligence is the choice to re-condition the bedrock of the mind in deciding who you
want to be each and every day. We are conditioned by every single experience in life that we live our
lives in a reactive and conditioned way continually responding to stimuli with the same deeply embedded
reactions. Psychological intelligence is identifying how that conditioning plays a negative part in our
lives and how it blocks us from reaching our full potential. We choose to re-condition our mind by
deciding clearly who we want to be and how we want to act to proactively live the life we want.
Thus programming the subterranean landscape of our mind to choose to be who we want to be when we want to be at any given time.
As human beings we develop character as a whole person paradigm of Intellectual Intelligence (IQ), Physical Intelligence (PQ), Emotional Intelligence (EQ), Psychological Intelligence (PSYQ) and Spiritual Intelligence (SQ).
These five intelligences are essential for the healthy growth of any individual.
It is developing character as a complete person on a physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual level. PQ is our instinct to survive - it is our health and well being in a situation. It is what we physically do, hence represented by the Body and Doing. IQ is our mental growth and development through learning. It is our ability to understand the situation - represented by Mind and Knowing. EQ focuses on relationships, our emotions and the emotions of others and it is how we react in the situation. On an emotional level, it is represented by Heart and Being i.e. who we are being when we are doing what we know. PSYQ is our psychological self, how our self-concept and self-esteem line up with our ideal self, which is represented by will and the spirit to become. SQ is how we find meaning, act with integrity, and our contribution on a deeper level - it is actually identifying we have a choice as to whether we want to be in the situation, change it, create a better one - represented by Soul and Being Human. In being human it is living by universal values, acting with integrity, living to higher quality of life.
"Your true character is revealed in the clarity of your convictions, the choices you make, and the promises you keep. Hold strongly to your principles, and refuse to follow the currents of convenience. What you say and do defines who you are, and who you are...you are forever."
Why is psychological intelligence so important?
PSYQ is the intelligence to be fully aware that our values, principles, and behaviour are all linked and that we tend to react based on our past experiences. It is easy to fall into the trap of the reactive world if you let your mind become a condition of circumstances rather than creating those circumstances oneself. To be able to do this you need to develop creative thinking and a strong sense of who you are through the will to think consistent on a positive and proactive level.
To explore this further The Master takes you on a journey through the landscape of the mind or alternatively Being and Becoming is a code for life.
'So we have the freedom to choose our reaction?'
'Yes but the rabbit hole goes deeper than purely having the emotional intelligence to choose your reaction. I am talking about the ultimate intelligence to choose who you want to be at any time. This is not the rational versus the emotional but the psychological choice to programme yourself to be who you want to be, to react how you want to react, and to be your most natural self - the person you were born to be.'
'How?'
'Because if you realize you are conditioned then you have the freedom to stop and not only choose your reaction but to create the internal landscape of your mind. How? Well you stop and take a look at your life and decide who you want to be, what you want and where you want to go. You also analyse how you have previously been conditioned and re-condition yourself to be who you want to be - you create the internal landscape of your mind.'
'So in fact I can decide and choose my life?'
'You have the freedom to choose who you want to be when you want to be at any given time – that is psychological intelligence. You can create yourself and you can choose to be your personal best. Who do you choose to be today?'……read more
