FAQs
What is Power Intelligence
Power Intelligence (PI) is the conscious ability to access, recover, harness, and utilize our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual/universal power and potential by becoming fully functional as an authentic unique human being thereby creating a quality life of prosperity that benefits all. Power Intelligence is in essence ‘energy intelligence’ or ‘consciousness intelligence’ or even 'spitual intelligence'.
Because our original DNA blueprint holds the codes and keys to the power and potential of our authentic self, Power Intelligence (PI) is also the conscious ability to utilize our infinite potential including our original power and potential encoded as our original DNA blueprint, and create an authentic life of health, wealth, happiness, success, and prosperity that benefits all.
Power Intelligence is the intelligence of the future. PI is the counterbalance to Artificial Intelligence (AI) thereby securing the balance between humans and machines.
Where does the term Power intelligence come from?
The term Power Intelligence was first coined by Dr. Brenda Hattingh in 1988 to denote how we manage and master our power and potential on physical, mental emotional, and spiritual levels and create the world we live in. She presented a paper on PI at the International Psychology Conference with the title, Power Intelligence – the Intelligence of the Future.
​
Dr. Brenda Hattingh published the first book on Power Intelligence in 2002 with the title, Power Intelligence - Energizing People and Organizations and Creating Prosperity.
​
Various books on Power intelligence have since been published and the Power Intelligence Success Profile (PISP), is soon to be launched.
what is intelligence?
Intelligence comes from two Latin words, intel meaning ‘between two or more’, and ligence, meaning ‘to choose’. Intelligence is our ability to choose.
What is energy or power?
The terms power and energy are used interchangeably. Power is ‘energy on the move’. Power is the ‘ability to create’. The more power we have, the more we can create.
​
New, higher, or next-level information is necessary to accomplish this creative goal. Power or energy is information and information is energy or power. We can call this energy- information. To maximize our potential, we need to expand our consciousness and access new and higher levels of information.
​
Power Intelligence means expanding our consciousness while accessing higher levels of information that will take us forward.
What is consciousness?

​
Power Intelligence means expanding our consciousness while accessing higher levels of information that will take us forward.
​What is the connection between intelligence and consciousness?
We as humans, as Homo sapiens, are the only species on Earth to have free will. Free will means that we can think and choose for ourselves. We also have different levels of consciousness. The more conscious we are, the better we can make informed decisions that take us forward.
The opposite is that if we are mindless, then we will also make mindless, uninformed decisions that lead to problems and even disintegration.
Animals only function on the level of instinct. The quality and level of intelligence depend on our level of consciousness.
How does consciousness influence our decision-making process?
The more conscious you are - the more intelligent and informed choices you can make. The less conscious, unconscious, or mindless you are, the less informed, unintelligent, choices you will make.
Power intelligence is the conscious ability to make intelligent, informed choices. This means we need to elevate our consciousness and expand our awareness of life, the Universe, who we are, and all the power and potential at our disposal, if we want to move forward.
What are the levels of consicousness

How does Power Intelligence work?
We live in an energy universe. From a religious perspective, it is termed a spiritual universe. Universal energy and spirit are the same.
Everything is a form of energy (spirit) oscillating at different frequencies or wavelengths causing the attraction of objects, people, situations, or circumstances on the same wavelength. Circumstances situations or people on different wavelengths are blocked, ignored, or repelled.
How can we use Power Intelligence to create success and happiness?
We create the reality we live in. We can also uncreate circumstances and recreate the quality of our lives. PI can is the conscious ability to create the wavelength of the desired object and /or situation, thereby attracting what you desire into your life. PI is, therefore, energy intelligence or ‘energy engineering’.
Is Power Intelligence also multi-intelligence?
Power Intelligence is the ability to connect and tap into, manage, and utilize our physical, emotional, mental, and universal/spiritual energy. It also functions on all the different levels of consciousness. Because PI functions on all four dimensions of our existence and on different levels of consciousness, PI is multi-dimensional in nature.
​What does DNA have to do with Power Intelligence?
Our power and potential (power-on-hold) are encoded as our original DNA blueprint. This original DNA blueprint holds the codes and keys to success, happiness, fulfillment, and prosperity. This original DNA blueprint is our authentic self. The authentic self DNA blueprint holds our power and potential and is contrary to general thinking that our power is originally encoded as neuro-connections. The reason is that at the beginning our DNA and genetic coding came before the development of our brains.
​
. We need a new level of consciousness, a new intelligence in order to tap into our power and potential encoded as our DNA blueprint. This intelligence is Power Intelligence. Power intelligence as a spiritual-energy intelligence, is the ability to create miracles.
What new human gene pool is emerging?
New genepool ……………………..
Why don’t we have this ability and power today?
Unfortunately, we became disconnected from our original DNA blueprint. We lost the connection to our authentic self, our higher or best self. We became mindless, lost consciousness, fell into ignorance, and became powerless. In short, humanity fell from grace.
​
Now there are two sides of self. On the one side, we find the empowered authentic self. On the other side, we find the powerless ego-self that is but a mere shadow of the original self. Therefore, the shadow ego-self. These two parts of self are in a constant battle for control in our lives.
​
This inner conflict reflects the outer conflict we find in our personal lives and the world around us.
How do the authentic self and the shadow ego-self differ?
We can answer this question in three steps.
-
What is authenticity?
-
Who is the authentic self?
-
Who is the shadow ego-self?
Authenticity
Authenticity[i] comes from the Latin word ‘authenticus’ meaning undisputable origin, from the ‘original author’ and can be ‘trusted’. Authentic also includes ‘authority’ and ‘author’. Only the authentic have authority as given by the original author/Author.
​
Authenticity is all about honesty, truth, integrity, and facts. Authenticity refers us back to our roots. To find answers to current dilemmas, we have to go back to the truth, to authenticity, and to understand the root cause.
The authentic self
The authentic self is a personified self, originating from the Creator of life, the original Author. Other terms for the authentic self include the real self, higher self, soul self, God-self, enlightened self, best self, and more ...
​
The authentic self holds all the codes and keys to the universe because it is a personified part of the universe. Because the authentic self is connected to the Creator, to Source, and to the Universe it has access to all power and potential to create a life of health, wealth, happiness, success, and fulfillment – on Earth – as in heaven. We can only live our best lives by expressing our authentic selves and creating flow. The best life includes love, compassion, honesty truth, integrity, happiness, success, and prosperity. This is the birthright of the authentic self.
Our DNA blueprint is the connection between physicality and the universe - to spirituality. Our unique personalized, individual genetic code is found as a DNA blueprint in every cell of our body. Here we find our connection to the power of the universe.
Unfortunately, we became disconnected. Unfortunately, the world we live in paints a picture of negativity, destruction, conflict, pain, disease, war, corruption, and disintegration.
The shadow ego-self
Out of the disconnection, we created a self-made version of self as a make-believe self. This is our shadow ego-self. The shadow ego-self represents the lie, the delusion, and the lack of power. The Shadow ego-self and the authentic self represent two opposite sides of who we are. The authentic self has the power and potential to create miracles. The shadow ego-self is powerless and reverts to manipulation, intimidation, and power games.
What is the connection between our DNA blueprint and our brains?
Although the brain only developed after our initial DNA came together at conception, there is a close connection between our genetic blueprint and our neuro-physiology. The reason is that each brain wave oscillates at a different frequency that sends out messages at different energy levels and frequencies. The slower the brain waves the more power behind them. This means the more powerful the attraction or rejection. This in return activates or deactivates our genetic codes.
What is the 'power spot'?
The power spot is in the center of the brain and is the center of our Power Intelligence. This is the place we need to consciously connect and tap into and create desired outcomes. This not only connects us to our own potential and the potential of others, but it also connects us to the universal power, source, Higher Power, Spirit, God, or any name you would like to use. Source is the universal energy, spiritual energy, ether, or quantum soup that is in us and all around us. It is described in different ways by different scientific, academic, and religious perspectives.
What are the brainwaves that benefit us most?
We can identify a few basic brainwave levels as delta, alpha, theta, and gamma levels. Many of our Mind Power leaders have produced valuable contributions. However, in the center of our brain, we find a spot that synchronizes everything into a unified, integrated whole. We can call this our 'power spot’ or ‘guide spot'. It is also known as God-spot, or G-spot if you like. This is where our potential or most powerful resources as spiritual resources are released. This energy overcomes obstacles and takes us forward. It is here we find the source of our power and intelligence - Power intelligence.

It is here we find the source of our power and intelligence - Power intelligence.
What makes the power spot so powerful?
With our most sophisticated technology, they have found a spot in the center of the brain that oscillates between 35-45Hz. This spot is activated with slower brain rhythms. Where our left brain functioning or rational intelligence (IQ) is triggered when asked the question "What must I do ?". The right brain or centre of emotional Intelligence (EQ) is triggered by the question "How must I do it ?". The power spot or Power Centre is triggered by the question "Why must I do it ?". This is the center of meaning and value. It integrates and synergizes left and right brain functioning and all the other brain rhythms into a unified whole. We can have access by becoming still and consciously connecting to this power center. From now on we will discover the power of being centred, balanced, harmonized, and at peace with self, with others, the world we live in, success, and a quality life.
What must we understand about Power Intelligence?
Firstly we need to have a basic understanding of the reality we live in. We need to understand energy or life force. This information makes it easier to connect to a power source and utilize the flow of energy that will produce the outcome we desire.
​
Secondly, we need to understand intelligence and the different levels of human consciousness and functioning. We need to know at what level we are and where we should be going. We need to know we are part of the school of life. We need to consciously accept the responsibility of being full-time students of life. We have free will or choice. "Students" of the university of life who are in the process of becoming Power Intelligent, are persons who know how to utilize their own potential and the potential of others and choose to invest their energy wisely.
What is the school of life?
Just as we have our schools, colleges, and universities with their different levels and curriculum - so does the progress through life or the path of life, present itself as the "school of life". This includes a unique curriculum for each person. By accepting the challenge, and responsibility and learning the lessons we are challenged with, we release an inner strength and power and move to a higher level of consciousness and a new level of quality of life. We move through life, from one stage to another in the same way we move through school. No one is left out. When we fail to learn what is necessary, we repeat the course. Sometimes at a high price. The reason is: with every course, we will need to pay our "leaner fees"!
What do we need to learn and develop?
From a holistic integrated approach, we need to develop all dimensions and parts of ourselves as unique persons. We need to find answers to the questions: Who am I? Where am I going? How do I get there? Why? Further, we need to develop power tools and skills and understand the playing fields of life. Not only do we need to know who we are but we need to understand and play the different games of life. We need to understand at what level we are currently functioning and how to move to the next level. Life is a path. The purpose is not to arrive (we all will one day), but until then, to enjoy the journey, learn, and have fun.
What is success and a quality life?
Whatever you perceive as success and a quality life, is truth for you. People will therefore have different views, ideas, dreams, and visions of what they desire and would like to have in their "quality life" dream. The quality of our lives is therefore a reflection, a manifestation or projection of who we are. What we have and do at the moment is a hologram of who we are. We create this by knowing and having clarity of who we are, what we really want, need, and desire, how we manage and focus this energy/potential, what choices we make, and steps we are prepared to take to achieve the desired outcome. This includes eliminating any blockages that stand in the path of a successful outcome.
How do we do this?
We have been given free will, the ability to choose what we want, who we are, where we are going, and how to get there. We release our potential or “power/energy on hold” by making choices and focusing our energy on the desired outcome. Every time we make a choice and do something (action) we release potential or inner power that steers our life in a certain direction or away from another. Up and till now many people have left this to chance. The time has however come to consciously develop the necessary understanding, power tools, and skills to manage the different levels of energy (physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual) and make the choices that will take us where we want to go and get what we really want.
​
In essence, when you develop PI, you consciously develop the ability to connect to and intelligently utilize physical, mental, emotional, mental, and universal (spiritual) power or energy. By working in harmony with what is already yours, you become the co-creator of our life aligned with the whole of the universe or Source. The PI profile was developed to assist you in this process.
What about stumbling blocks?
When we develop PI, we come to understand the power tools, guidelines and universal laws and principals we need to use in order to be successful. This gives us the flexibility to cope with the different challenges we face. With the right understanding, tools and skills, we can change stumbling blocks into stepping stones and move forward. External problems and blockages are in essence reflections of inner blockages and areas that need to be addressed. Addressing these stumbling blocks leads to a refining of the self. Self-mastery is the essence of success.
Can anyone do this?
​Everyone already has all that is necessary to lead a happy and successful life, within. It seems as if somewhere along the way we have sort of “forgotten” how to do this. Life is a journey of "remembering", discovering and releasing this potential. We are constantly awakening to the truth that has been buried within us. Fear, negativity, prejudice and incorrect information and programming have kept us from what it really means to be free, happy and successful. We need to reclaim what has always been rightfully ours. This means we need to retool and reprogram our internal programming, our way of thinking, believing, speaking and doing. We need to become new persons. In this way we can make new choices and create a new outcome to life.
Haven’t we been doing this all along?
To a lesser extent, yes. We unfortunately have not been totally conscious of what drives us, how we make our choices, and how we manage our energy and utilize our potential. We have taken many things for granted. PI refers to a level of consciousness, levels of understanding this process and this brings responsibility. When we are conscious of what we are doing, we can choose to direct our life energy, power, and potential in the direction of prosperity, happiness, and success or whatever your intend creating. The outcome of your life is therefore a choice and the the quality of your life is your responsibility. No one is a victim of life!
How many people do you think know this?
Research has shown that up to 90% of people believe someone in a higher power position, like parents, husbands, wives, the government, leaders, managers, teachers and even God, will accept responsibility and make their lives better. In this way people negate their personal responsibility and are passively waiting for something to happen. These are our power consumers, users or power/energy vampires who can be seen as PI negative (PI-) energy breakers. It places a very heavy burden on the shoulders of those who would like to move forward. These are our power producers or energy makers. Truly empowered people who are PI positive (PI+), are in the minority. In order to move forward we need to change 90% of the PI- energy breakers to to PI + energy makers and create a new future of success, health wealth and happiness for all. Each one however needs to start with the self.
How does Power Intelligence differ from all the other intelligences we find on the market?
Research concerning intelligence has been done from many perspectives over the last century or so. First, we were led to believe that rational intelligence, or IQ, was the only way of solving problems and creating prosperity in life. During the 1990s Daniel Goleman introduced Emotional Intelligence or EQ, as an important factor in managing life. Later Dana Zohar and Ian Marshall introduced Spiritual Intelligence as another important factor. Now we have multi-intelligence that includes financial, leadership, computer, social, information intelligence, and so forth. All these intelligences refer to a specific context and therefore a specific functioning of a part of the whole. At the same time, it refers to the functioning of different parts of the brain.
​
We live in a universe of energy. P I, as managing this energy, therefore includes all the parts and all the processes and unifies it into a functioning whole. Power Intelligence is fundamental to everything, therefore refers to multi-intelligence.
​
PI thus refers to a holistic integrated functioning of all processes on all levels – physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. This refers to a physical, quantum, and spiritual reality or quantum, virtual, and spiritual levels. It includes and encompasses all the other intelligence and forms an integrated whole. This means that although PI includes all the other information, it gives a bigger more meaningful picture as the whole is more than the individual parts. By becoming PI+ we can produce the new levels of energy we need to defy the laws of gravity and lift off to the next level of functioning as we create the success and meaningful lives we desire.
Why all these intelligences?
​"Intelligence" is derived from two words: "intel" meaning between two or more possibilities and "ligence" meaning choice. We have free will or choice. Understanding the power behind our choices will mean we will be able to understand the direction we are moving in and why. We have shifted from fragmented tunnel vision concerning a person's ability to intelligently cope with life, to a holistic multi-dimensional, integrated approach to human intelligence. We are coming to understand the multidimensionality and inter-connectedness of the reality we live in.
What is Alchemy?
During the 17th century, the alchemists of the time were natural scientists who aspired to change base metals such as copper and lead, into gold. At the same time, there were human alchemists aspiring to change basic human potential or consciousness into higher levels of spiritual potential or gold. Therefore the "Golden Age". The alchemist of the human spirit aspired to develop the consciousness of people in order to manage all aspects of human potential (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) to a level that one had the ability to transform spirit into matter manifesting their heart's desire. This reflects the ability of the ancient maters who could heal the sick, raise the dead, and create abundance out of spiritual sources. The same principles used then can still be applied today. We are all on this path of awakening, moving to a higher level of consciousness, developing our potential, and creating a Golden Era of success, happiness, peace, and prosperity for all. The times we are living in are initiating a power shift and the challenge is to meet the demands of the times. .
Why us and why now?
Because it is time. There is a Chronos time and a Kairos time. Kairos refers to a universal time on the scale of human development. We are moving from one level to another and one dimension to another where human consciousness is concerned. At the moment you and I are at the cutting edge of a large-scale transition. All indications are that this will take place around the year 2012. This is a time for a radical power shift. For this, we need a new kind of thinking, a more encompassing intelligence, and new power tools to be able to make this transition. This transition is not only going to be made by us but through us. We are the conduits of this universal process manifesting a new era many see as the Golden Era. We are the alchemists of the future.
What is a Power Shift?
​A power shift means moving to a new level of consciousness a new energy level or frequency. This means a new levels of understanding, information and coping. The more conscious we are, the more conscious we can make our choices, the more conscious we can direct our life force. We are becoming more conscious of our responsibility towards ourselves, to others and life as a whole. We are moving to a new level – something like changing gears. For this we need new "power tools" and "power skills".
What are Power Tools?
People feel good when they are in control. In the past this "feeling good" was achieved by gaining control over other people. Different power tools have been used throughout history to gain control over our environment, situations, and people including violence, money, and sex. In many instances, these power tools are still widely used. This not only includes physical violence and war but emotional, psychological, sexual, verbal, and other forms of violence and abuse are all part of violence on this level. A next level or power position uses money and sexuality as power tools. People feel in control when they have money and are sexually potent. This was and still is, largely part of the power play and power games of relationships, business, marketing, religion, politics, marriages, education, and many other areas of life. In essence - every part of life. During the 1990s the information age was introduced with the development of information technology. Computers, communication technology, and virtual reality produced a new kind of lifestyle. This is where we are now – trying to utilize all the potential of the information age.
All these power tools are however external control centers. Our environment, money, violence, sex, computer technology and information, etc. are external power drivers controlling many people. Most people are living from the outside in that does not produce a lasting, happy, fulfilling, successful life. A power shift is inevitable. The next level means a quantum leap from external to internal power drivers. This means developing new power tools. This includes a whole new mindset, an understanding of life, success, the self, and the universe we live in. We need to know who we are, where we come from, and what new tools and skills are needed in order to utilize the energy/power at our disposal and be part of the Golden Era. We need to become PI +. Power Intelligence ® is therefore the intelligence of the future. At the same time people are looking for deeper meaning to their existence and an awakening is taking place.
What is this awakening ?
Many people all over the world are becoming conscious that physical things do not necessarily make us happy or give meaning to life. People are starting to feel: "There has to be something more and there needs to be another way". We are waking up to a new reality, a new perception of ourselves, others, and the meaning of life as a whole. The search is on – something new is in the air. People are now discovering their own inner locus of control or "power spot". The power center within the self. People are discovering that they have their own personal and universal power center within. The most powerful tools that will from now on be developed, are within us. At the same time, many of our old outworn perceptions and understandings are being discarded. We are developing a new mindset, even a new DNA. The awakening is bringing about the birth of a whole new kind of human being. This is the time of birthing a new race into the Golden Age of abundance, happiness, and peace.
How can we create success and prosperity?
Prosperity is a condition. We can create this by consciously understanding our personal and universal purpose and accessing, utilizing and focusing our most powerful energy resources on obtaining our purpose. With a plan of action and a clear vision of and a focus on what we desire, we create an energy field that attracts to us everything that is in synchronicity with what we send out. We can consciously choose to create the energy field or "vibe", we desire. In this way we create our own reality. Happiness, success and prosperity are all conditions and the outcome of accepting responsibility and consciously utilizing our potential. The secret is in the law of attraction.
Does the awaking include making more money?
Money is a physical manifestation of energy and symbolizes the exchange of energy. To make more money and be happy at the same time, you need to stay centered and understand your purpose. Money, in itself, is not a purpose. It is an outcome of purpose. People who focus on making more money, can become very rich but lead enslaved, empty, purposeless, unhappy, meaningless lives. They usually fear losing their money and their power position. The time has come to have the inner strength or “guts” to become truly rich in every aspect of your life, including financial abundance. This means taking your energy from within, focusing it on a meaningful purpose, and creating success in every aspect of your life. Money just being one aspect. We need to redefine success as it is more than financial abundance and security. The law of attraction implies that when you are living your personal, social, and universal purpose, it will attract all the resources you need to fulfill the mission successfully. The outcome is freedom, happiness, and inner peace
How Can I do this?
You first need to sort yourself out and get your act together. Detox, detangle, and reclaim your life (This is the title of the next PI book and will be available in 2007). Do this in practical ways by cleaning out surroundings. Clutter causes blockages. Detox your body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Detangle yourself from all physical, mental, emotional, cultural, religious, social, and spiritual restrictions. Identify all negativities, resentments, anger, pain, and rejections and start healing these issues. Reclaim your power, reclaim your life, reclaim success, all your gifts, talents, happiness, prosperity, and fun. Take back all that you can and be prepared to leave the rest behind. Do this with compassion, grace, and elegance. Learn to stay centered, balanced, harmonized, and live in peace. Develop the necessary tools and skills to master yourself, know your purpose, live a life of truth and integrity, and develop a prosperity consciousness. Most of all, get connected. You need to consciously connect to yourself, your inner power, and universal or divine power. Learn to utilize this power given to you. Learn to love. Make conscious choices and accept responsibility for your life. Overcome negativity standing in your way. This means " coming up over " negativity. Rise above it. We always have a personal choice of becoming "bitter or better". We cannot always choose the circumstances of our lives but we can choose the outcome even if it is a choice of attitude. We have the challenge of living in love and abundance. No compromises !! Why settle for anything less than the best? There are no shortcuts. This means we need to change and make a power leap in our thinking, believing, feeling, understanding, and visioning. This includes money.
Will everyone be able to make this leap?
Only those who choose for a better life and are prepared to learn, change, leave the past behind, develop new understandings and power tools and can ignite the inner ability of moving to the next level, will be part of a new generation of the Golden Era. These are our PI + people. The rest will stay behind.
Who will develop Power Intelligence®?
Firstly: Individual persons, teams, companies, and organizations who are committed to change, development, success, prosperity, and excellence and want to stay on the cutting edge of growth and development and success, will be the ones prepared to become PI invest in PI training in development.
​
Secondly: Problems in life occur when we use outdated information and ineffective tools and skills to manage life that cause "problems". Most people first have however to experience the total disintegration of their lives, relationships, businesses, or organizations, before they are conscious enough to challenge their thinking, old ways, and lifestyles. This means many people have serious “wake-up” calls before they are triggered to make a change. These wake-up calls can be negative in the form of health, money, relationships, family, religious, social, cultural, global, or any other problems. Positive triggers include getting married, having a baby, getting a new job, or winning the Lotto. Unfortunately, most people take positive triggers for granted and only wake up to the negative triggers. In the end, we will all need to move to the next level of PI. Some will move at an accelerated pace while others will move along slower.
​
The third option of course is those individuals, teams, organizations, societies, cultures, and even countries who will stay behind. This places new demands on leadership and management.
What about Artificial Intelligence (AI)
We can answer this question in four steps.
-
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)
-
What are the benefits of AI?
-
What is the downside of AI?
-
Why do we need Power Intelligence to counterbalance AI?
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a human creation at the pinnacle of the Information Era. AI has the ability to access, assemble, and process data at lightning speed. It produces answers to complex questions by relying on the algorithms that were developed by the creators of the AI program.
​
The benefits of AI
The benefit of AI is that it can perform complex tasks in nano seconds in comparison to humans who have to rely on their cognitive abilities that take much longer. Not only does AI make life easier but it is also more effective. The reason is that the human factor is more prone to error.
​
Today we have our information housed in the Cloud, while powerful search engines put pieces of information together to answer our questions and produce solutions to our problems. We have robots, aka, Bots, performing mundane tasks like sweeping the floor to very complex tasks like running a complex business like Amazon or sending a spaceship to Mars. We have algorithms predicting outcomes, while drones are no more a thing of the future – they are here to stay.
​
Life has become much easier and faster with AI. The Initial aim of AI is to benefit humanity's fast forward growth, and development, and assist human evolution. Unfortunately, there is a downside.
​
The downside of AI
The downside of AI is that it is just that – it is artificial. AI is manmade. AI cannot think for itself but only makes use of the initial information input and algorithms of AI programmers. Behind all AI we find the initial programmers that are human.
​
Like all humans, some people use their AI programming skills for a better life while others use their AI programming skills to benefit themselves. Because we find it difficult to distinguish between the two driving forces, we cannot take all AI for granted.
At the same time, the comfort of AI can make people too lazy to think for themselves thereby neglecting the development of valuable human potential. This can develop to the point that humanity loses their consciousness and relies totally on the feedback of AI. Humanity already relies heavily on the assistance of AI. The danger is that AI in all its forms, can take over the decision-making processes of humanity leaving leave humanity unable to think for themselves and powerless.
​
Not only the loss of conscious awareness but also the loss of personal power and sound decision-making strategies and processes, leaves humanity vulnerable. Loss of consciousness, lack of personal power, and an inability to make responsible mindful decisions will inevitably lead to implosion, disintegration, and destruction not only of individuals, groups, societies, companies, and organizations but of humanity as a whole.
​
This downward spiral can be prevented.
Power Intelligence to counterbalance AI
By balancing Artificial Intelligence with Power Intelligence, the downward spiral can be prevented. Without consciously developing our Power Intelligence, humanity is doomed to succumb to the ‘machine’ as reflected in many of our Sci-Fi movies.
Power Intelligence is the authentic, real, human intelligence of the future. By understanding and developing our Power Intelligence we create a balance between humanity and ‘machine’, aka AI.
​
Power Intelligence is the most important skill to develop at this point in time if we are to move forward and flourish. Not only do we need a whole new mindset and new intelligence, but a new genetic pool is emerging. This includes a new approach to leadership and management
What differences can we expect in leadership and management training?
The power shift is causing a radical shift in leadership and management styles. Individuals, teams, companies, organizations, governments and even countries are now seen as energy systems and will be managed in this way. Understanding, releasing, managing and mastering this energy and steering it in the right direction are some of the biggest challenges of future leaders. The Power Intelligence Profile (PIP) was develop to assist in this process. Where leadership of the previous era focused on attaining and maintaining power over people, the shift is now towards igniting and focusing power (potential) in people and developing self management and self mastery. When everybody accepts responsibility for their quality life, leadership and management will be minimalised. The challenge is for all leaders and managers to be trained in Power Intelligence® and utilize the potential of their staff or members in the same way. The new level leader needs to develop self-mastery and become the alchemist of the future. They need to learn how to develop power within people and transform lower order potential to higher order success and prosperity.

​Is there a way I could determine where I am, what I need to learn and what the next step could be ?
As every person is unique and has a unique path they travel, it is not an easy question to answer. To make it easier, we have developed the Power Intelligence Profile. It is a self-assessment tool that you can use to determine what your underlying power positions are, what drives you, and how you make your choices. This can indicate if you are positively or negatively driven, or Power Intelligence positive (PI +) or Power Intelligence negative (PI -). It indicates the next level you can anticipate and gives guidelines for you to use when planning growth and development. In chapter 22 of the book Power Intelligence: Utilizing your infinite potential, I give a short summary of the stages we go through, the lessons we need to learn, the fears we need to overcome, and what triggers us to move on. This includes various perceptions from our Western, Eastern, and African cultures. Truth is truth - no matter where you are, who you are, or what you believe. How you color your picture of life is your personal choice. Sometimes you need a totally new picture. Sometimes you need new colors to enhance your existing picture. The choice remains yours ( You can see Profile for more information).
What are the power tools and skills we need to develop?
Look at what your challenges, fears, and frustrations are. These are indicators of something you still need to learn. Make a list and commit yourself to changing your stumbling blocks into stepping stones There are many different courses, workshops, and books by many competent people on the market today. See what attracts your attention and what meets your needs at the moment. Remember it isn’t possible for us to learn everything in our short lifetime. In the next book Power Intelligence: Power Tools for power people I have identified more than 150 power tools we need to develop. This will be available by the end of 2004. Don’t wait, Just get started.. now!
Where do I start?
Just start! Get a support group, enroll for a course, make an appointment with a life coach or therapist, read a new book, and keep a personal journal you can note all your ideas, thoughts, feelings, visions, and your progress and commit yourself to growth and development. Identify meaningful messages, signals, and signs that come your way, and don't give up. Be open, create flow and the rest will follow. "When the student is ready, the teacher will arrive ". Identify your teacher
How can I consciously develop my Power Intelligence?
Make a choice. Do the Power Intelligence Profile Scan. Use the information as a guideline to start planning. Read the book Power Intelligence –utilizing your infinite potential. and use the questionairs to determine what aspects of your life need attention. Develop your own curriculum and parts of your life that you feel need attention. Attend as many workshops and courses as possible. All have value at some level. Most of all learn to become still.

In the end you will realize that you have a Centre within yourself where everything has already been encoded into you. This is your personal Centre of Power and of Intelligence, in short the Centre of Power Intelligence. This is where you will find the ultimate guidance and truth. This is your personal Power Centre. Our challenge is to connect to this centre in a conscious intelligent way.
Where is my personal Power Center and how do I get there?
Wonderful question. We firstly need to overcome all negativity and barriers within us. This is a life task all on it’s own. We sometimes unknowingly connect to our Centre of Power Intelligence in moments of silence, peace, beauty, harmony, love, prayer, sexuality, meditation, creativity, inspiration or visualization. You can do this more consciously by developing these aspects of your life. Remember : the longest and most difficult journey is the journey to the centre of self or The Centre of Power Intelligence. You are already on your journey. Welcome as a traveling partner Enjoy the ride with us all. You are in good company !!! Remenber to have fun !
Now a question for you
Why not become a Director of the Centre for Power Intelligence ?
​What does it mean to become a “ Director of the Centre of Power Intelligence “?
At some or other level we are all directors. People cross our paths. Knowingly or unknowingly we influence their lives. We are therefore ‘directors’. It all depends on the company (Company) you belong to. The question is: What kind of influence do you truly have on the lives of others? There is only one of two directions we can move - positive and empowering or negative and disempowering. The challenge is to consciously choose to be empowered and to empower others. By doing this you need to connect to your centre of Power Intelligence and then direct others to do the same. So you consciously choose to become a ‘director’.
The Centre of Power and Intelligence is within all of us. You can call it Higher Power, Universal Power, God, or any other name you wish. The fact remains, there is a centre within us all that is the centre of universal power, prosperity, guidance, and success. We all need to be directed to and connected to this center and tap into the inner power that is rightfully ours. We have free will. We can choose to utilize all the potential at our disposal and create the life we desire. By consciously becoming a director you commit yourself to utilizing your potential and the potential of others. Just by doing this, you activate the power of intention, the power of focus, attention, commitment, and action. This again steers your life in a positive direction.
When you register as a Director you are given a certificate that you can frame and put in a place that constantly reminds you of your choice. This releases the power of attention, reminding, attention, consciousness, and many other power tools you might not be aware of. By just taking the leap you already release potential or “power on hold.” If your intentions are positive they will return to you and work for you in a positive way. The law is: "What you sow- so will you reap "
Who can become Directors?
Anyone can. You might be a very powerful director of one of the Fortune 500 companies or a young school boy or girl. There are no restrictions when it comes to developing potential and being Power Intelligent. By having your certificate hanging around, you will constantly be reminded to consciously make the right choices and move in a positive direction. You will constantly be reminded to help others do the same.
​
It is important to note that here at the Centre for Power Intelligence in South Africa we are very conscious of the fact that we are all directors. Only directors. We are not The Centre of Power Intelligence. That Centre is within all of us. We can only work for and from the Centre. We can only help, in an organized way, to direct you to your Centre. So the invitation is to join the “Company” (you will be in good company) and become a Director too.. and it’s fun.
What can I do with my Certificate?
You can hang it in a place that reminds you and others to consciously choose to be Power Intelligent. In an office it can be used to motivate others to do the same. At home parents can use it to remind their children of their responsibility to develop and utilize their own potential. Understand why you make the choices you do and note the outcome. Change if needed. Be creative and innovative. Listen to your own inner guidance
Does it cost anything?
No, there are no costs and no ties. This is not a legal issue. It is a personal commitment you make to yourself and others. By doing this you join our company or “Company”.
How do I become a director?
Go to The Center. Fill in the registration form, The computer will do the rest.

When you are exposed to lies, deception, negativity, and threats – the heart reacts, and you feel anxious. The heart then closes, blocking you from the love and light of the universal web. DNA becomes unraveled. Even the mind closes down, blocking the flow of life force. This all occurs out of fear. These blockages cause disease, distress, and even death.
Another part of the self is born. The shadow ego-self is created, out of fear while suspiciously trying to protect you against whatever you perceive as attack and threat.
When you include misinformation, lies, corrupt values, and loveless lives found in our dysfunctional world, the shadow ego self believes this is the truth – this is reality. It falsely tells you that it has a right to exist and protect you against the ills of the world. However, these dire circumstances were created by the shadow ego-self, in the first place. It becomes a catch-22 situation.

What is the connection between intelligence and consciousness?
We as humans, as Homo sapiens, are the only species on Earth to have free will. Free will means that we can think and choose for ourselves. We also have different levels of consciousness. The more conscious we are, the better we can make informed decisions that take us forward.
The opposite is that if we are mindless, then we will also make mindless, uninformed decisions that lead to problems and even disintegration.
Animals only function on the level of instinct. The quality and level of intelligence depend on our level of consciousness. The more conscious we are, the more intelligent decisions we can make.
