   “And with power comes the ability to be the rule-makers. And the end result is not surprising — those who get to make the rules tend to do so in a fashion that benefits them.”

   When my husband worked for a major telecommunications company, and started getting promoted, he noticed this phenomenon as well. He noticed that the higher a person rose in the company, the less he seemed to really care about the people doing all of the work. He vowed that if he were ever able to make the rules, he would do something different.

   That opportunity arose when we moved to a foreign country, and he was given the CEO/President role for a startup company acquired, ironically, by the large telecommunications company he worked for! The model he used for this new company was family. It was practically unheard of that he met with each and every employee as they got hired. It was unheard of that he discouraged long hours at the office that took the employee away from their own families. It was unheard of that he, and his wife, associated with employees off the job. Yet these are the things, among many others, that he did. Of course, he was also the guiding force when tough decisions had to be made, and in the direction of the company, but he decided that kindness would be the thing that guided him.

   This company was never supposed to amount to much. It was one of several start up companies in that country that had recently de-nationalized telecommunications, and my husband’s company was in a small market. But, with the vision of family as their marketing strategy, and with the vision of family as their customer service strategy, the company beat all expectations, and became famous in the entire country!

   He is convinced that this happened, in large part, because the average age of the employees was something like 27 years old. The young, oh, the young, can see so many things that we older people just do not, and are so very attracted to new paradigms that actually work! Which is the true hope for us all, isn’t it? You see, even though, after my husband left, and the company was acquired by a company that does business the traditional way, those young people now know a different way…and when it is their turn, they might just remember how they felt when business was run as a family. They might just remember that doing this did not cause profit to suffer, and that much of that profit was given to all of the employees in the form of bonus checks.

   My husband, after he left, and got more acquainted with Conversations With God, actually wrote a letter the the Owner/Chairman of the big, traditional company that bought his former company, telling him how his way of doing business was a win-win situation, and that the Owner had, in his hands, the power to be a true innovator in his country, and in the world. So far it seems to have fallen on deaf ears, but the seeds have been planted. There is no stopping them from growing somewhere!

      Oh, what intent can do! Thanks to you both for exampling how being of wiser intent does truly make Shift Happen. Awesome feeling to impart such a gift to youth…to anyone…isn’t it? And when we can observe their use, it becomes a feeling that words do no justice to describe.
      What you & hubby did was no easy task…sowing against grains…esp. in Corp. World…They don’t much like rogue farmers in their fields. Blessings to your success in being other-‘wise’. 🙂

         The thing is, Erin, that it created such an atmosphere of joy! If people only realized it is totally a win-win situation, they would do everything they could to have that joy in THEIR lives!

   Actually we are solving these problems right now, it’s being done. It’s just not as fast as we’d like. Many people organizations large & small & some just starting & some are yet to be born but are in gestation to be birthed later.

   These people, organizations etc. are not large enough to warrant media coverage except in the back pages & smaller focus publications with small but dedicated audiences. Yet, like all seeds, they grow & I feel the seeds are more than grown but small trees that need to be nourished to become strong healthy trees that produce orchards.

   We have the answers, it’s a matter of adjusting our focus & attention on what matters & making that a priority. We haven’t done that except by unconscious default giving us much of what we don’t desire.

   Further, spiritual people like ourselves on this site & beyond are really searching to find the best way to move into the world in a way that has a huge global impact.
   We haven’t found it yet or we’d be on it already like syrup on pancakes! 🙂

   We all know it’s getting our own act together first & moving into the world. We may consider too that getting our inner world together may come from being more involved & using our wisdom out in the world more.

   Our getting our act together includes all the spiritual study, reading, workshops, etc. but additionally helping out beyond the fringes of our own individual world as well.
   If we believe in the LOA i.e. The Law of Attraction & can demonstrate it sufficiently in our life, well, we will be self educating others as well.

   Here’s what Neale said recently on the Village site.
   Step 1 was bringing the information [CwG cosmology] through. (Done)
   Step 2 was 
getting the information read by millions of people. (Done)
   Step 3 is 
getting those people who have read and agree with the information — 
including…perhaps especially including…myself — to “integrate it into the entire fabric of our daily experiences.”

   So step 3 is what we are working & playing with on this site.
   We’ve done it for individuals with the CwG helping outreach site. Now we want to globalize it.

   I suggest a global prayer visualization group on this site to work & play on current & recurring problems. It’s not the whole solution, but it’s a start. Once started we are at least being & doing that. From that course of action & energy can flow other ideas that move us quicker & further toward the world we desire.
   Magic & Miracles,
   -Marko

   When we get over the fact that the collective (all of us and the Earth )are more important than the individual.

   Enough is enough. These facts you bring to light are staggering. No one should be homeless or go hungry in this world and we will never have peace until we solve this problem. Thank you, Lisa.

   Priorities. Priorities. Priorities. Unfortunately, the plan for humanity does not match up nearly as nicely with the agenda of the ego. No one here is doing anything ‘wrong’, per say, but what is being done is certainly far from the direction of elevating the consciousness of humanity. Though pointing facts and fingers will not solve the problem, what will is a little more empathy, a little more kindness, and a little more love all the way around.

   We need to strive to better quality of live, then to strive to survive. It is about sharing, being one, priorities, and to start living with your heart and soul. Not anymore for the body, and that there is no seperation. And to all Christians (and other religions)… it appears we may come back 100 lives on this planet, so take care your next live will be in a better world than now.
   It is not about you, it is about IT. We are IT. We are not seperated from each other. What you give you get, because you need to be the source. You need to be the source… for it will be able to muliply if you take long time.

   When the idea of Oneness takes hold , there will be rapid progress on all issues…

   How do we embrace Oneness as a species?….Well that’s why Neale and his team asked us to join them….We must endure these difficult times and continue to choose the higher choice (Choose what Love would do..), and promote/ spread the New Gospel! ..You All Know It….that’s why we are All here right Now….We are All One, Our’s is not a better Way, It is merely a Different Way, A Way that Serves Us All …Doesn’t that sound like something that Serves Us more than , Every Man For Himself? Let’s Go…Let Us Be This 🙂 Why Not?

   What is it that decides that huge amounts of money grotesque amounts are paid to already very very wealthy humans .

   The market decides ! Why the market because the market is amoral and humans are wicked and DANGEROUS this is the Conservative understanding or story defined by Thomas Hobbes that became the modern conservative thought.

   Humans at there core are naturally evil ,selfish, human nature has to be dominated for human societies to flourish and without this constraint by domination the essentially evil nature will emerge causing CHAOS . A Corporation is essentially independent and totally without morality and thus without immorality or evil .With this neutrality the market is set free to do what it does with no questions asked .

   So the story we tell ourselves is false and will come tumbling down to the ground !
   We will soon create a new cultural story one that works for our highest interests and mirror our inherent nature which is Devine at it,s core .We are remembering now who we are and what it means to live this way!
