Work vs. Service... >>There should be no separations in our work, play, leisure, family? WHAT exactly does this mean? Bring the kiddies to work at the nuclear power plant? Have a game of hide and seek in the girders of a high rise going up? Have a screw in the control tower at JFK? Your little sayings are so STUPID it's unbelievable.>> X: Go back logically and think how different the world would be if more individuals claimed their power and energy. The problems around us are largely rooted in the little things we all do to place ourselves somehow "less then" the collective. The world operates from the a pyramid model of control and power. How different things would if the world operated from an inverted pyramid model of service. This is when we truly humble ourselves to help, serve and love others. But the only way we can get to the bottom of an inverted pyramid is to have the guts to risk placing ourselves there. For there is no risk on placing ourselves "less than" the collective. For we can always logically claim to get "security", "money", "benefits" etc. But what we don't realize is that we are selling ourselves out which separates ourselves from the energy, power and love inside which we need to have the guts to risk viewing and interacting with the world from a pure position of service. Imagine if the world actually SERVED YOU. This can only happen if you claim your unlimited power to place yourself in the position of power to be served. We aren't there today. For individually and collectively we have given up our power to the point where we have placed ourselves in a positions to be sold, spun, sliced, diced and run ragged. But these technologies are allowing more risk to be taken by more people who "see" the value of turning the pyramid power, fear and control upside down. Just look around you. More and more companies are doing the unheard of: flextime, parttime, flexbenefits, work at home, etc. The cats are out of the bag. And we've only begun. Just relax. Forget about "me". It's happening. Peace. .
