More wise words, from Michael Singer, on work:
...you don't make your job spiritual, you make yourself spiritual. You don't try to find a job that is spiritual; you try to find a way to work on yourself so that everything is spiritual.
·
Going to work is about the holiest thing you
could ever do.
·
Everything is spiritual and everything is
fulfilling period. You could sweep a floor and literally be in ecstasy as you
sweep the floor and see that you are cleansing something so that other
people could have a more beautiful experience.
·
You do the work that is necessary to get there
[to that feeling]/ and your place of employment, your place of work is an
excellent place to do that.
·
I don’t want everything to have to be the way I
want to get turned on. I wanna get
turned on by everything so my work is to let go of myself
·
So first you center in your car [before starting your work day]and you
remember this is not about getting something for myself. It is about giving of myself and letting go
of the part of me that is not letting me do that
·
Things on the outside are going to bother you…bump
into your stuff. Good….”that is the nectar of life".
·
Every time it hits it, it gives you the opportunity
to let it go.
·
The problem is you have to be centered. You have
to maintain that state of mindfulness to remember that is what is going
on. Otherwise when something happens that
disturbs you inside you are going to try to protect yourself, you are going to try
to argue [that it shouldn’t be this way]
·
If you have things inside you that can get
disturbed then you should get disturbed because it stirs it up and gives you an
opportunity to let it go.
·
Once you learn to stay present [through
meditative practices] it is the everyday
moments of your life, of which work is half
your life, that presents you the opportunity to let go of yourself.
