Refimprove date October 2007 Spiritual marriage comes from the idea of love without sexual intercourse sex . It is a practice in which a man and a woman live intimately without engaging in any sexual activities. It has been known throughout many cultures as the bond of a man and a woman for reasons of spiritual and emotional intimacy and connection.

The doctrine established a spiritual marriage of church officials to their church in order to better serve God, one had to disavow the demands and temptations of traditional marriage.

Refimprove date November 2010 The concept of spiritual death has varying meanings in various uses and contexts. Spiritually dead person may mean someone who is not spiritual materialist, atheist one, who identifies himself with dead matter, though he is a living conscious being. Thus first meaning for spiritual death is to become atheist . Another, narrow, purified meaning of spiritual death is death in a spiritual way , to die being a spiritual person, not being an atheist . Thus this means that spiritual death relates to two egos soul real self, which is eternal , and ego false self, which is temporary or material . Difference in meanings come from misidentification of eternal soul to be spiritually dead or material , which is nonsense for theist. For theist there is no such thing as spiritual death . Matter can be only dead, and soul can only be eternal. Combination of matter and spirit is impossible. One cannot say dead life , or alive death . For contrast you can guess what is the meaning of material life life is always spiritual, though material life would mean just to live having materialistic values .

Spiritual quotient SQ is described as a measure that looks at a person s spiritual intelligence in the same way as intelligence quotient IQ looks at cognitive intelligence. The concept encapsulates 6 types of personality social, investigative, artistic, realist, contractor and conventional. Comparisons between SQ, EQ and IQ Comparison between SQ, EQ and IQ is to be found in the book SQ Spiritual Quotient by http www.formates.net Dr. Muhammed Bozda . The distinction made is that IQ and EQ explain extraordinary events by the terms coincidence, chance, accident , which are thought as spontaneous chaos. SQ, on the other hand, sees these kinds of events as requiring a more subtle degree of attention, assuming that they are planned by an infinite consciousness. According to standard theory on emotion, emotions of creatures are natural they are genetic, hormonal or instinctive in nature. Spiritual Quotient theory posits instead that emotions are derived from thousands of spiritual inspiration channels, and aims to encourage people to find ways of sensing channels of inspiration floating in the universe. Criticisms of the concept of SQ Theories of SQ have been criticized for being pseudo scientific, wishy washy attempts to define a concept into existence, lacking any real coherence and mixing terms and concepts. They have also been criticized for their suggestion that SQ is something that can be developed and increased, which renders comparison with IQ and EQ a comparison implicit in the use ... who have already begun dishing out books by the dozen on the subject of Spiritual Quotient contend ... exhorted by the modern day corporate world. ref Roshni Datta, The Spiritual Secrets of Success Indiaonline ... dp 9756503165 SQ Spiritual Quotient ankaya Ankara TR ISBN 975 6503 13 0 Zohar, Danah SQ Connecting with Our Spiritual Intelligence London Bloomsbury paperback 2000 ISBN 1 58234 044 7 Dr. Mark Brewer, http www.amazon.com dp 0768426758 What is Your Spiritual Quotient?
