In this heading a twofold monumental assumption is hidden: Supreme intelligence can be equated to true cultural enlightenment. But in order to be truly enlightened in cultural matters a shadowless light is required. And as culture is part of the psychological architecture of man, the entire mental infrastructure needs to be
illumined, for if one component of the whole casts a shadow, the entire mental architecture and with it the cultural contents will be affected and darkened and thus impair the desired uncorrupted cultural intelligence which can only blossom in a pristine, pure mind. This rather perfect state is that of mastership of culture, for it will only radiate the pristine purity of the mind in the outer world and soothe cultural tensions, wounds and conflicts.

Research Objectives and Key Topics
The primary objective of this work is to establish a comprehensive framework for "Supreme Cultural Intelligence," which allows individuals and organizations to transcend traditional, culturally-conditioned mental states and achieve a higher order of integrative awareness. By proposing the "Transcultural Profiler," the author seeks to provide a roadmap for managing complex cultural environments through a holistic, multidimensional approach that combines physical, mental, and noetic intelligences.
- The integration of diverse human intelligences into a single, cohesive model.
- The concept of "Quantum Cultural Intelligence" as a tool for shifting perceptual filters.
- The hierarchical structure of the Transcultural Profiler and its diagnostic utility.
- The transition from managing cultural conflicts to achieving cultural transcendence and peace.
Excerpt from the Book
A HOLISTIC HUMAN INTELLIGENCE MODEL.
Physical intelligence can be translated as wisdom of the body. Asian cultures such as the Japanese with its seitai philosophy (the normalized terrain) or Zen practices and budo and Indian culture with its millennia old yogic tradition have a stronger awareness of it. How the two can be synergized is discussed in the above reference of the holistic intelligence model.
Cultural intelligence is connected to mental intelligence in the above model which tends to be a cultural preference of rationalist western cultures. The characteristic intercultural or transcultural (here the two are used synonymously) competence has been defined by the intercultural researchers Trompenaars and Hampden-Turner as cybernetic thinking which etymologically refers to the ability to think in circles so as to adopt the cultural viewpoints of the culturally diverse interactants of an intercultural encounter.
Noetic or Transcultural intelligence has the ability to shift perceptual filters of the cultural phenomenon from analytical differentiating mental perception to a higher plane of integrative, unifying, metamental perception. It is the integrative function of the entire human architecture with its physical, mental, emotional...intelligence
Summary of Chapters
Masters of culture. Supreme cultural intelligence.: Introduces the core philosophy that true cultural mastery requires the transcendence of mental frameworks to reach an enlightened state of being.
A holistic human intelligence model: Outlines the triad of physical, mental, and noetic intelligence that forms the foundation for higher-level management of cultural phenomena.
The transcultural profiler or transcultural management model: Presents the primary diagnostic framework used to visualize and analyze the interconnected layers of human consciousness and culture.
Legend of the transcultral profiler: Provides a detailed breakdown of the twelve dimensions (D1 to D12) that constitute the Transcultural Profiler, ranging from cosmic interconnection to planetary interface.
General explanation of the transcultural profiler legend: Explains the holistic nature of the profiler and how it integrates various consciousness levels to facilitate effective cultural management.
A more detailed explanation of the transcultural profiler legend: Offers a deep dive into the specific characteristics and functions of each of the twelve dimensions defined in the legend.
Corelation of transcultural profiler levels to culture consciousness lvels and cultural intellignce levels: Maps the specific profiler levels against corresponding hierarchies of consciousness and intelligence to show how one evolves toward supreme cultural intelligence.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fundamental purpose of this work?
The work aims to redefine cultural intelligence by moving beyond traditional analytical approaches toward a "supreme" state of consciousness that integrates multiple levels of human intelligence to resolve global cultural conflicts.
What are the primary thematic areas explored?
The main themes include the classification of cultural intelligences, the mapping of human consciousness through the Transcultural Profiler, and the application of these models to leadership and global management.
What is the central research question?
The research explores how an individual or manager can transcend the limitations of social and cultural conditioning to achieve a state of "transcultural" awareness that promotes sustainable peace and harmony.
Which scientific or analytical methods are applied?
The author utilizes a metaphorical and systemic approach, drawing on analogies from quantum physics, neurophysiology, and existing management frameworks (e.g., Hofstede, Trompenaars) to build a new multidimensional model.
What is the focus of the main body of the text?
The main body focuses on defining the twelve dimensions of the Transcultural Profiler and explaining how these integrate into a unified system for analyzing and managing diverse cultural landscapes.
Which keywords best describe this research?
The work is characterized by terms such as Transcultural Profiler, Noetic Intelligence, Holistic Management, and Cultural Transcendence.
How does the "Quantum Cultural Intelligence" concept function within the model?
It acts as a higher-order cybernetic tool, allowing the user to shift perceptual filters between different cultural contexts to find non-invasive, integrative solutions to conflict.
How does the author distinguish between "intercultural" and "transcultural" approaches?
Intercultural approaches typically deal with the management of differences, whereas transcultural approaches involve a higher state of consciousness that integrates and transcends those differences through a superordinate vantage point.
