Spirituality in the workplace? Really?
Aug 29, 2019Spiritual and/or Physical. Why not both?
A few years ago, in my early days in Silicon Valley, I understood that terms related to 'spiritual', was not cool in business. If I wanted to be taken seriously in business circles, it was best that I steered clear of mentioning anything 'spiritually' related.
I regrettably acquiesced, because being new to the business world, I wanted to fit in and be taken seriously.
Well, since then, with many people whom I have encountered, I have discovered a deep hunger for more than the material offerings of Silicon Valley. Many business people who enjoy all the beautiful things of the material world, somehow find 'something missing.' There is the misconception that big success and big money = happiness. Not always the case, I found.
Of course its great to enjoy the fruits of our labor. Probably many hours of hard work - deservedly so... to enjoy the wonderful experiences and 'stuff' available to enjoy. What then, is missing?
Life is synonymous with Spirit. No spirit? then we're just a bag of flesh and bones, because everything is a manifestation of spirit. The non-acceptance or denial or ignorance won't change the facts an iota - we are Souls... spiritual beings having a physical experience. And as long as we do not acknowledge that 'higher' part of ourselves, we will forever be unfulfilled, 'wanting' more.
Conversely, neither can we dwell only in the 'spiritual world' - that, would be living in 'woo-woo' land. Meaning and fulfillment of life is found in balancing the physical and the spiritual.
The Point?
Imagine a workplace where words like compassion, and caring, and kindness, and love - words related to Spirit, words that are music to the human heart, abound. It could, apart from serious business, be a welcoming place of real communication, and unity, and community - real heart stuff - a place everyone could look forward going to daily!
That would be real success, real magic in the mystical...in Life!
