Personal Transformation. Combining Human and Spiritual Intelligence

Self Realized, Shatter Your Limits

What if every moment of your life—from a simple nature walk to a challenging conversation—holds the potential for profound personal transformation?
The Self-Realized, Shatter Your Limits Podcast's 100th episode with me, Linton Bergsen, delves deep into the fascinating interplay between human and spiritual intelligence that shapes your experiences. When you're hiking through nature, fully absorbed in the sights and sounds around you, you're experiencing transformation through both your physical senses (human intelligence) and your deeper connection to something beyond yourself (spiritual intelligence). This same dynamic plays out in meditation, relationships, career decisions, and virtually every aspect of our lives.
Most of us operate by giving approximately 90% of our attention to human intelligence—what we can see, hear, and logically process—while relegating our spiritual intelligence to a mere afterthought. A gut feeling that something isn't quite right in a conversation. That's your spiritual intelligence speaking through intuition, trying to alert you that what you're hearing and what you're feeling aren't aligning. Learning to recognize and honor these moments of disconnect represents a powerful opportunity for personal transformation.
The key insight lies in reversing this imbalanced approach. Rather than starting with physical perception and human reasoning, then occasionally acknowledging spiritual insights, what if you prioritized your spiritual intelligence first? This means feeling deeply within yourself whether something resonates spiritually before investing emotional energy and taking action. Finding your ideal balance—perhaps giving 60-70% weight to spiritual guidance and 30-40% to human intelligence—creates an equilibrium that brings profound benefits: greater peace of mind, enhanced well-being, and consistently better decision-making.
