A disintegrating morale is a distinguishing feature of the modern culture. A cultural shift from a spiritually dumb culture to a spiritually intelligent culture is imperative for sustained excellence. The transformative principles of spiritual intelligence enable the lasting shift from motivational shift to behavioral shift to cultural shift. The paper focuses on the “Spiritual Domain” of learning in education in accomplishing the cultural shift, whereby teachers play the crucial role of “culture brokering” by enabling pupils to cross the cultural borders. The paper highlights the educational experiments conducted by the researchers at different levels of education with emphasis on the “spiritual domain of learning”. The paper also highlights the objectives of the spiritual domain of learning and three different models of learning based on these objectives.
