A new plane in consciousness

In the fast pace of life now, one fails to stop a while and cherish the moment.  I’m not like that.  I like to smell the roses while i walk through the garden of life.  Here is such a rose. 

My consulting work takes me to at least 5 to 10 new organizations per month.  I spend time not just as a mechanic or mason but as a member, as a CEO for the day.  I have experienced more ‘entering organizations’ and ‘leaving organizations’ than most people in my 6 years of practice.  Most people can’t discover what i have discovered because it is just structurally not possible for them.  Imagine a Cv reading 1 day in organization A, 2 days in B , 10 days in C, again 2 days in D and so on?  But in consulting this is natural.  However, my work is related to management/leadership and not confined to any special tasks such as preparing a report or fixing a particular problem. 

It is like taking birth and dying so many times a month like i told you 5 to 10 times, that makes me write this new concept regarding relationship with people in the world of work.

In the financial statement there one the asset side there is a heading called ‘accounts receivables’ on the liability side there is a heading called ‘accounts payable’.  In simple terms in life there are some people who owe us and others whom we owe. In the process of taking service, owing and paying for it or giving service, waiting to get paid and getting paid, we develop various types of emotions.  A unique kind of relationship develops. 

Fear, Need, affinity, gratefulness, anger, shock, love, attachment, hatred, resentment, grief, forgetfulness.  It is like a love affair, only it is more fun given the complexity of sex is transmutted to the higher planes. 

I’ve feel all the arrays of emotions 5 to 10 times a month.  It is like living 5 to 10 lives of month.  So i live 100 lives a year and thus is have lived about 400 lives in the past half a decade.  i am fully conscious of all those lives.  And that is the beauty. 

As a result i am now able to contemplate on life in a much richer and broader perspective. 

I see that i can get at a level of awareness where i call upon all those clients, associates, competitors, suppliers to stop for a while.  I make them see all this is just a play and that in the higher planes we are just friends having fun.  They will never understand it that way, engrossed in the ups and downs of the market place.  But it doesn’t matter to me.  I have transcended the mundane plane of taking business just as business. 

People are born and die.  It can’t be all that is to life.  We get a job somewhere, we work and leave.   It can’t be all that is to life. No even business life has to have deeper meaning. 

For me it always had.  I found enlightenment in the harsh and stressful world of business.  I’ll talk about the details in another blog.  For now it suffices to say that i refuse to believe that business is just business. 

And so from now on i work from a plane of awareness where even the prospects that reject me, the clients who won’t pay their bills on time, and the negative people are talking with a coffee in hand, smiling at each other in brotherhood cherishing our existence together. 

It is a small thing when we read it here.  But it is like arriving at distant holy ground.  The ground might not be holy or even if it is, it may not be special for locals but for one who has traversed 10 years and found an oasis, it is everything and holy. 

Even you who is reading this blog, i can picture you in this plane, sitting with me, basking in non-conversation, inaction, smiling at each other is quietude, knowing in silence the importance and implication of this connection at the level of this blog. 

It is a new found truth for me. 

I showed you a new place in the map of consciousness.  Go find it for yourself too.
