Spiritual Intelligence and the Neuroplastic Brain

A Contextual Interpretation of Modern History

Our brains are getting wired differently in the world of digital technology, information revolution, and in the inter-cultural world of global society. Think of the new vocabulary: Global brain, collective intelligence, global village, and cyberspace. That should tell us something about the neural rewiring that is taking place inside of our brains, whether or not we are aware of it.

Are we progressively moving away from religion and community-based spirituality into the "spirituality of different strokes for different folks?"

changed "our maps" and our worldviews. Not only have our maps changed, but
also now our maps require constant revision in light of what we are learning
