We benefit from highly efficient communication systems like internet, telephone, FAX and highly efficient travel systems like air and rail travel. These systems can work both to our benefit and our detriment. Negative impacts are attributable to our lack ofconsciousness. We may lack consciousness in the way we have designed technologies or products or services or […]
The fundamental nature of Spirit or the universe is expansion and therefore new creation. The cycles of death and destruction are also a part of life, providing material and energy for the new creation. As all beings live according to the spiritual laws, the fundamental nature of humans is also to expand, grow and create. […]
For many years I have known that there is a difference between the men and women’s spiritual teachings. Unfortunately many of the women’s spiritual teachings and initiations have been forgotten or lost. My woman friend studied with two male elders of two different cultures and traditions, the Quechua high in the Andes and the Kahuna of Hawaii. Interestingly […]
This is a vision about all of us at work honouring and celebrating life. I have this vision because of my passion and belief in people and my deep connection to and love of the Earth and work. I envision this because ofmy great awe and reverence for the spiritual, for all that is sacred. […]
I have a vision that we consciously acknowledge that we are a part of the cosmic cycle of energy and matter. I dream of passionate people designing and implementing industrial and economic systems emulating natural, biological systems. As in all natural biological systems, all of the waste we produce is consumed by another metabolic process. […]
I have a vision that we honour wisdom and knowledge, rather than information at work. The wisdom from all spiritual traditions is engaged when a conflict, social or ethical dilemma arises. Individual and collective wisdom of workers, as well as the wisdom from these spiritual traditions, are applied to the situation. Elders and children are […]
I am a traveller. I have travelled in the Canadian wilderness since I was 14 years old by canoe, skis, on foot and by kayak. I have travelled around the world – by plane, boat, bus, water buffalo, camel, elephant and various other means. I love to travel. And today I sit at home on […]
I live on an island in the Salish Sea. It is a stunningly beautiful island, not only because of the island but because of the surrounding scenery – spectacular mountains some of them snow-capped even in summer and the glittering ocean – that changes from day to day. The rhymes and rhythms of the sea and this […]
As a culture and as a society we need to acknowledge and be aware that life has the capacity for holding, both the light and perhaps even more importantly the shadow. When the shadow is not acknowledged it comes out to bite us. The capacity for joy and happiness can only be increased by embracing […]
I have a vision that we understand the joy of living in universal, nonlinear cyclical time. Because of this, there is no rushing around, no frantic activity, no frustration. I have a vision that the role and the reality of family life is acknowledged and honoured in relationship to work. We find evidence of matriarchal […]
I have a vision that we acknowledge every emotion that arises while we are working. Love, kindness, compassion, peace and joy are felt when anyone enters our workplace. Happiness, sadness, anger, joy, resentment, jealousy are expressed and acknowledged, if there is willingness. Tears of joy or sadness freely flow. Joyful peals of laughter are heard […]
As humans, each of us has been emotionally wounded in some part of our lives or in our past lives. The wounds are both the source of fear and suffering. Inner (spiritual and emotional) work is the salve to heal the emotional wounds. We will not be able to prevent depression drug, alcohol abuse and suicide among young […]
Just as the passage of seasons and people is honoured, so are the daily diurnal cycles and personal cycles – the cycles of light and dark. No longer is there a working day of fixed length. During the winter season when the number of daylight hours is reduced, the length of the working day is […]
