We live in an age of emergency, exacerbated by a collapse of meaning. Writer and psychotherapist Mark Vernon examines the type of intelligence that, whilst often dismissed and overlooked, is crucial to understand and cultivate if we are to survive and thrive in our times. Spiritual intelligence is the foundation of who we are and our particular type of consciousness. It is the perception identified across wisdom and religious traditions, and known by many names, which can be summarised as the awareness of awareness, and so of being itself. It is the foundation of peace, even in the face of death, as well as purpose and solidarity. The challenge today is to recover and live according to that knowledge. Examining themes from the nature of consciousness to the experience of time, the emergence of our species and the teaching of spiritual adepts, the book is an antidote to rampant AI and a complement to emotional intelligence. It is written without presuming religious commitments in readers and draws on a mix of sources and experience gained from the author's own practices. It advocates pilgrimage and improvisation, virtues over morality, and big histories that do not turn the story of our species into a bleak struggle for survival. The seven steps will help readers identify spiritual intelligence within themselves, unpack why it matters, and suggest how a wider trust in it may be revived.

Editorial Reviews

Review

In Spiritual Intelligence in Seven Steps, Mark Vernon draws on the understanding of numerous individuals and cultures, weaving them into a text that leads the reader on a journey into the very heart of their self and, at the same time, to the reality that lies behind and is expressed as the world. Like the journey which his mentor, Dante, undertakes, each chapter guides us more and more deeply into the perennial understanding that lies at the foundation of our civilisation.--Rupert Spira Sp --This text refers to the paperback edition.

A mental workout - this is worth reading

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 1, 2023

Verified Purchase

This is not a self-help book, more of a wide ranging learnèd philosophical dialogue. I read with curiosity and enjoyment yet understood very little of it.

I cling to a naïve belief that not only does the truth set you free, when recognised it is seen as deceptively simple and graceful in its beauty. Philosophers and theologians mine for the truth, enquire, probe, question; they claim to find it, however, for us lesser mortals it is often an opaque, puzzling truth.

I recommend this book for it stimulates internal debate and maybe that is the whole point of it, to shake up the reader’s stale beliefs and give their synapses some exercise.
