1. The X-factor &
Bright Spark within us all
James x Williams

2. What is the Source of our
• Bright ideas
• Thoughts
• Emotions
• Intentions
• Vitality
These are the questions I have asked since I
left school.

3. And how can we?
Solve the problems humanity is faced with
today. How can we Create a better World.
These are questions I have asked since I first
watched the news on TV.

4. Happiness Well-being & Success
After observing world events and reviewing
Happiness, Well-being and Life satisfaction
league tables, it is clear a deeper awareness and
intelligence is required to create a Healthy
Happy Harmonious and Prosperous society in
the 21st Century.

5. Positive initiatives
There is Light at the end of the
tunnel and many positive
initiatives are being introduced.
For example:
• Schools have been instructed to include SEAL (Social
and Emotional Aspects of Learning) which teach
children how to develop their social and emotional
skills.
• In 2010 the prime minister set up the National Well-
being Project, to go beyond economic measures to
inform policies to enhance Well-being in our Society
(3).

6. Emotional intelligence (EQ)
• Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to be
aware, understand and regulate our emotions and
is a key ingredient towards being Happy and
Productive.
• Daniel Goleman reported on compelling
breakthroughs from the fields of neuroscience and
business, he found that those who excel in
emotional intelligence achieve not only superior
academic and business results, but also have
higher levels of personal fulfillment and
increased well-being.

7. Intuitive Intelligence (IntQ)
• Research by the Institute of HeartMath is
uncovering the important role of the heart's
intuition in balancing and managing our mental
and emotional energy.
• Intuitive Intelligence (IntQ) is the ability to tune
into the inspiration and guiding force within us.
• According to HEC Paris International Business
School Intuitive intelligence is the ability to combine
our analytical mind with our intuitive aptitude to
solve problems in an innovative way and
succeed in the new economy.

8. Intuitive Intelligence (IntQ)
• Today intuition is being touted by management
consultants as “essential.”
• In a study of 13,000 business executives by
Harvard researcher Jagdish Parikh, the executives
credited 80 percent of their business success to
relying on their intuition (21).

9. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

10. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs

11. Self-Actualization
• At the top of Maslow's hierarchy Self-Actualization &
Transcendence are states of humanity's highest
potential that include self-realization and an
understanding of Unity consciousness.
• Maslow defined this inherent and natural state as one
of Well-Being with Positive feelings of Joy, Serenity,
Euphoria and an awareness of the Unity of all things.
• Maslow was sure that the more emotionally healthy we
are, the greater the likelihood and frequency of these
experiences in our daily lives.

12. Multiple Intelligence Model
We can clearly see that there are deeper levels of ourselves that
we can become aware of and understand and in doing so we can
gain greater self-awareness and intelligence.

13. Extended Model
fig. Extended: Multiple Intelligence Model of Human Potential

14. Brain Waves
Scientific research shows that our brains operate in multiple
brain-wave states:
• The Beta brainwave state is associated with focused
concentration.
• Alpha brainwaves represent a state of relaxed mental
awareness, relaxation and reflection.
• Theta brainwaves are slower and include deep
relaxation, meditation, enhanced creativity, light sleep
and dreaming.
• Delta brainwaves are slower and are associated with
healing.
• Gamma brainwaves occur during bursts of insight. (5)

15. The following diagram shows how we access these
levels within:
Research shows that Gamma waves occur during an
insightful AH-Ha ‘Light-Bulb‟ moment (7).
Research with Buddhist monks have shown a correlation
between gamma waves and transcendental states of
Unity consciousnesses (6).

16. FLOW
• Flow is being „in the Zone‟ a state of consciousness
that occurs when we are fully immersed in the present
moment.
• According to Goleman the hallmark of flow is a feeling
of spontaneous joy, even rapture, while performing
a task (28).

17. Light-Up
• Dr. Jane McGonical (13) has also written and spoke
about how Gaming is an example of totally
immersing ourselves in the achievement of a task.
• When we Enjoy ourselves and have fun such as
Playing Games we „Light-up‟ or Power-up, we
increase our Energy levels and our resilience.
• We Rejuvenate at a cellular level and our bodies
come alive enhancing our performance in
everything we do.

18. Being in your Element
Sir Ken Robinson an International
advisor on education describes this
phenomenon within us as „Being in
your Element‟:
“Activities we love fill us with energy … When people …
in the zone, they tap into a primal source of energy.
They are literally more alive because of it. It is as though
being in the zone plugs you into a kind of power pack…
it’s a way of Unifying our energies. It’s a way of feeling
deeply connected… and it curiously comes about through a
sense of relaxing.” (9)

19. And looks something like : )

20. “The richness of the precious present comes from its
own source” (8).

21. Perhaps Eckhart Tolle
sums it up perfectly with
the title of his first
bestselling book
„The Power of NOW‟.
Where does the Energy
and Power of the Present
Moment come from?
Why does it make us
„Come Alive‟?

22. All Paths are Pointing to the same ‘Soul’ution
The Institute of HeartMath IHM refer to the this state as
being in ‘coherence’.
image ref: http://www.sirenabernal.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/heartmath-institute.jpeg

23. Coherence & Biophotons
Fritz-Albert Popp a preeminent German physicist (11)
focuses on coherence in biology and has confirmed the
existence of particles of Light known as biophotons that
transmit and regulate information within and between cells.
He has discovered a dynamic web of light that connects
cells, tissues, and organs within the body and serve as the
organism's main communication network.

24. Ultra-sensitive cameras
now also reveal that our
bodies emit light,
“Amazing pictures of
"glittering" human bodies
have been released by
Japanese scientists who
have captured the first
ever images of human
bioluminescence ... one
can't help wondering what
further surprises the
human body has in store
for us” (17), (18).

25. Spark of Genius
Intuition Creativity and Abundant energy are available
when we Surrender to the present moment.
The brain-wave model indicates that the more we relax
our minds and allow our Consciousness to Center
within, we step outside the box and enter the infinite
creative Potential and Inspiration of our Soul.

26. Our Soul is a source of
energy and Light that
exists in the Present
moment.
When our Mind Body and
Soul are aligned and unified
we are in our Element and
Flow through Life with
Purpose Ease and Joy.
Our Soul is our source of
coherence and center point
of individual consciousness
that extends from a central
Source of Pure Light and
Life-force energy.

27. Inherent Source of light
David Bohm an American-British physicist believed
that everything is connected and one unified whole.
The diagram below illustrates the structure of Unity
Consciousness and inherent Source of light within us
all:

28. Valerie Hunt a professor at
the University of California
has discovered the chakra
frequencies and has
produced a scale of
frequencies corresponding
to state of mind and level of
personal development (14).
Similarly Dr. Hiroshi
Motoyama has created
instruments that verify the
chakras and the flow of
energy through the body
(15).

29. Maslow’s Pyramid can be mapped to the Chakra
System as a model of human development.

30. Institute of HeartMath
Research by the
Institute of
HeartMath shows
the Heart produces
the body's most
powerful
electromagnetic
field:

31. Evolution
The deep inter-connectivity that we share gives rise to
our open-hearted philanthropic desire to assist others
and improve the world.
The Energy and Values of the Heart & Soul are now
integrating at an Individual & Organisational level for us
all to play and equal role in the Creation of a Beautiful
New World.
When our mind is aligned
with our Heart and Soul
we are able to create
wonderful innovations /
products / services /
organizations that benefit
all.

33. Mindful Business
The ability to access and develop deeper levels of
awareness and intelligence is quietly reshaping the
corporate world and is now being taught by the Big
Companies all over the World.
Spearheaded by pioneers such as General Mills and
Google the concept and practice of Mindfulness is
used to train the mind to be more focused, to be more
centered and balanced, to gain clarity, to have
spaciousness for creativity and to feel connected (19).

34. Mindfulness
A New Science and Society is emerging
that is helping humanity to awaken to
higher levels of awareness and is allowing
for a positive transformation from within.
The concept and practice of Mindfulness
and Present Moment awareness is now
proliferating throughout Society, it is a simple but
profound awareness of the Life within us, which when
realized has the power to Positively Transform ourselves
and the world around us.

35. Conclusion
The Multiple Intelligence Model of Human Awareness
& Creativity is a Personal & Professional development
Model for the 21st Century.
It includes Physical Cognitive Emotional Intuitive Creative
and Divine intelligence that integrates the once elusive
Light of Self-realization and Actualization the X factor and
Bright Spark within us all.
What is the Source of our intrinsic motivation, the
inspiration that guides us, the love that unites us, the life-
force that animates our body, the bright ideas that light up
our minds? Based on my Experience and Research, it is
the Bright Divine Spark within us all : )
