The "Centre", for Spirituality and the Workplace, and for increased wellness within organizations and society

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 15:10:23 GMT

What or where is the centre or core of spirituality? How may it relate to the workplace, to the IT industry or in general to society? What may be related and exist within the interconnected universe of the Internet? Is it important to connect to your centre, your inner self, your inner core, your inner peace, your inner joy, your consciousness, your inner energy, your kindred spirit? If you do, are you more connected to others? How might increasing notions of oneness, connectedness and spirituality make a better humanity on route to 2020, 2050 and beyond? Does movement in this direction mean you believe in the pure potentiality of infinite possibilities? Does it mean you believe in your innate abilities and capabilities, and in the same in others? Does it mean raising your awareness, your intuition? Does it mean you believe in the possibility of a creator of the universe, and in your part, your life's purpose, as a co-creator of better reality?

As the world continually moves forward to creatively mature and innovatively embed a mindset for simple goodness within all people and creations this will help to increasingly grow love, peace, happiness and joy, intrinsically and pervasively, as positive energy manifests within and is given to others. This will increase imagination and creativity and analytical characteristics within people and creations. It will help enable brighter futures for all. It will increase wellness within people, organizations and in general, help to continually make new and better, humanity.

Help to continually and increasingly make quality and value more inherent or occur more inherently from many perspectives within software, technology, information and life. As stated in Inherent Quality Simplicity, progressively doing so automatically results in helping to:

advance social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and quality of life;
generate greater return and value on investment and innately ensure higher levels of goodness (e.g., quality, value, excellence, compliance, ethics, morals, virtues, safety, productivity, profitability, and simplicity).

At this time awareness of the following is shared; note this post takes no credit, simply shares awareness and applauds The Purpose and Mission for the Centre for Spirituality and the Workplace.

Our Purpose
Positively and strategically influence the conversation and accomplishments about spirituality and the workplace globally.
Our mission:
The Centre for Spirituality and the Workplace (established in 2004) is the first academic-based centre for spirituality and work in Canada. Housed in the Sobey School of Business at Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Centre is both a centre for academic activities and a centre of influence in the community, the nation, and the world. The Centre reflects Saint Mary’s role as a leader in research and community relationship building both locally and internationally. The Centre engages academics and practitioners in various sectors and organizations in collaborative and community-based research, and offers networking, support, conference, and consulting services. Because of the interdisciplinary and multifaith nature of work and spirituality, the Centre works with faculty from numerous departments and programs at Saint Mary’s University and its affiliate, Atlantic School of Theology, as well as with other universities and religious organizations, to develop lectures, courses, and programs. The Centre celebrates and promotes Saint Mary’s goal of personal development and wellbeing of all students.

Will software, technology, information and all people increasingly grow to be more so a force for good?

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 16:13:37 GMT

As the world moves towards evolving the future generations of the Internet and ideally develops a collective perfect vision to concurrently enable a giant leap for humanity, how might software, technology, information and all people increasingly grow to be more so a collective positive force for good?

What the bleep do we know? Can we innately draw ourselves towards bridged gaps, elevated spirituality and better connectivity with our soul? Is it possible to have conversations with, or be happier than, God? Read these comments from an earlier post. Perhaps there is a creator of the interconnected dimensions of space and life on earth, and their asking each of us to believe in our innate qualities and abilities to bring about positive change to achieve our live’s purposes and help to make things better so all can have more peace, love, happiness, joy, and fun. It is a sunny day today and the interconnected universe has sent the words below and this music to the attention of this blogger. The authors of the music and words are unknown to this blogger so ideally the sharing within this post is acceptable to them. When reading the words and listening to the music be not concerned in anyway (e.g., of thoughts of one or many religions), simply open yourself to the possibilities of a world increasingly giving positive energy from within to increase the sharing of love. This blogger welcomes contact for positive ethical opportunities; and if you share awareness of such and of the words below, ideally you do so in a positive way so that a mysterious force for goodness continually grows within all people and creations of the interconnected universe. Ideally the actions of all people and creations increasingly somehow help to mature and elevate the inherent health and wellness of all humanity. With open minds and hearts, and positive collective energy, it is possible to continually make things better intrinsically and pervasively throughout the world.

A little boy was selling newspapers on the corner, the people were in and out of the cold. The little boy was so cold that he wasn't trying to sell many papers. He walked up to a policeman and said, "Mister, you wouldn't happen to know where a poor boy could find a warm place to sleep tonight would you? You see, I sleep in a box up around the corner there and down the alley and it's awful cold in there for tonight. Sure would be nice to have a warm place to stay." The policeman looked down at the little boy and said, "You go down the street to that big white house and you knock on the door. When they come out the door you just say John 3:16, and they will let you in." So he did. He walked up the steps and knocked on the door, and a lady answered. He looked up and said, "John 3:16." The lady said, "Come on in, Son." She took him in and she sat him down in a split bottom rocker in front of a great big old fireplace, and she went off. The boy sat there for a while and thought to himself: John 3:16. I don't understand it, but it sure makes a cold boy warm. Later she came back and asked him "Are you hungry?" He said, "Well, just a little. I haven't eaten in a couple of days, and I guess I could stand a little bit of food," The lady took him in the kitchen and sat him down to a table full of wonderful food. He ate and ate until he couldn't eat any more. Then he thought to himself: John 3:16. Boy, I sure don't understand it but it sure makes a hungry boy full. She took him upstairs to a bathroom to a huge bathtub filled with warm water, and he sat there and soaked for a while. As he soaked, he thought to himself: John 3:16... I sure don't understand it, but it sure makes a dirty boy clean. You know, I've not had a bath, a real bath, in my whole life. The only bath I ever had was when I stood in front of that big old fire hydrant as they flushed it out. The lady came in and got him. She took him to a room, tucked him into a big old feather bed, pulled the covers up around his neck, kissed him goodnight and turned out the lights. As he lay in the darkness and looked out the window at the snow coming down on that cold night, he thought to himself: John 3:16. I don't understand it but it sure makes a tired boy rested. The next morning the lady came back up and took him down again to that same big table full of food. After he ate, she took him back to that same big old split bottom rocker in front of the fireplace and picked up a big old Bible. She sat down in front of him and looked into his young face. "Do you understand John 3:16?" she asked gently. He replied, "No, Ma'am, I don't. The first time I ever heard it was last night when the policeman told me to use it." She opened the Bible to John 3:16 and began to explain to him about Jesus. Right there, in front of that big old fireplace, he gave his heart and life to Jesus. He sat there and thought: John 3:16 -- don't understand it, but it sure makes a lost boy feel safe. You know, I have to confess I don't understand it either, how God was willing to send His Son to die for me, and how Jesus would agree to do such a thing. I don't understand the agony of the Father and every angel in heaven as they watched Jesus suffer and die. I don't understand the intense love for me that kept Jesus on the cross till the end. I don't understand it, but it sure does make life worth living. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. I do Love God. He is my source of existence.. He keeps me functioning each and every day. Phil 4:13 If you love God and are not ashamed of all the marvellous things he has done for you, send this on and say a small prayer for the person who sent you this, "Father, God bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or she may be needing this day!"

No Game, a belief

Guided by the belief that every life has equal value, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives.

At the core of the foundation’s work are two simple values:

All lives—no matter where they are being lived—have equal value.
To whom much is given, much is expected.

Principles associated with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation reflect the Gates family’s beliefs about the role of philanthropy and the impact they want the foundation to have. The principles guide what they do, why they do it, and how they do it.

Microsoft fan, competitor or other, open your eyes to all the world needs, and with a good harmonious loving kindred heart, mind, body, soul, consciousness and spirit show thanks and support. Thank you for doing so.

And Thanks Foundation for all you do.
