Nurture The 12 Transformative
Principles of Spiritual Intelligence

Holism

Each of the 12 transformative principles are presented in first person. Read each description, affirmative thought, and daily check as though you were talking to yourself. Read through silently then read out loud. And remember, you are a beautiful person, a person of infinite worth, and unlimited potential. 

Holism: Ability to see larger patterns, relationships, connections. Sense of belonging to the whole, of knowing myself as a whole.

To nurture holism I look for a unifying or emerging theme running through a course of events. I look for the wider context within which a problem has arisen. I follow through a chain of causal connections leading to this moment or concrete situation, and the chain of consequences likely to follow from the action I take in response. I take an actual event or action of some significance and follow through the steps that led up to it and those things that followed from it. How far back or forward can I trace the radiating lines of causality?

 

Thoughts

  • I consider the interplay and connectedness of individual factors.
  • I value the relationship between things and that relationship defines their reality.
  • I can see the larger patterns and relationships, the internally functioning connections between things, and the overlaps and influences.
  • I perceive that a deeper common reality underlies most differences. 
  • I know every question has at least two sides.
  • I can see the infinite within the finite.
  • I use my intuition as the initial and pre-logical perception of patterns, relationships, and coherences.
  • I am reflective and broad-minded.
  • I am aware of how the whole affects me and others.
 
Check
  • Do I tend to look for relationships between apparently different things?
  • Do I look for a wider context into which I can put problems or events?
  • Do I have a sense that events or problems that come to my attention are interconnected?
  • Do I have experiences of anticipating or knowing the unspoken thought of others, or sense a flow of energy coming from other people?
  • Do I ever have a sense of everything being permeated by infinite love, infinite clarity or infinite presence?
