In an excerpt on her book; ‘Spiritual Capital: Wealth We Can Live By’ posted on Amazon, Danah Zohar expressed that; “Our capitalist culture and the business practices that operate within it are in crisis. I describe global business as “a monster consuming itself“. This is because the underlying ethos and assumptions of capitalism, and many of the businesses that follow from them are unsustainable. Capitalism and business as we know them have no long-term future, and this limit the future of our culture at large. The central theme of this book is that a critical mass of individuals acting from higher motivations can make a difference. Its purpose is to show how this critical mass of present and potential leaders can use their spiritual intelligence to create spiritual capital in their wider organizational structures, thereby making those cultures more sustainable. The goal is a capitalism that is itself sustainable and a world in which sustainable capitalism can generate wealth that nourishes all our human needs”.
We as a Race of Beings perceived from the standpoint of our physical identities are but embodiments of the Primordial Light; a First Cause whose heritage we have the privilege to share in and of which we are again but the effects of on this Material Plane of Existence for the while of our Earthly journey. So we are a miscegenation of both Cause & Effect, emblems born of the Creator & Created, the balance of Yin & Yang, agents of the Dawn & Dusk. This is our identity, a pedigree washed in the flagrance of that Equilibrium whose very nature necessitated the manifold manifestation of our worlds and the life teeming within it.
The Human Being is a very important aspect of the created whole, and a very powerful catalyzing agent of same. This power of which we speak lies in the core of each and every Human Being due to the Process that we all are. For as a Be–ing, you have foremost been cast into a Cosmic Authority as is evident in the ‘Be’ connotation, a wording that deeply implies a Higher Authority’s instillment of a commandeering onus into the very core of our essence to resonate with and radiate this Higher Authority’s own nature on this Material Plane of Existence in ordering the symmetrical organization of creation, and constantly renewing our connectedness to this Higher Authority in ensuring that the organizational symmetry of all that exists in creation evolves progressively with & through our agency on Earth as is connoted in the wording; Be-ing. We are, thus by way of reiterating the ideas herein espoused so far a Process Ad Infinitum along with all the created essences we share time & space with on Earth.
So by now, the reader has evolved with the idea progression so far submitted to perceive that the optimal health and sustainable development of each and every Be-ing lays in nurturing the motions intrinsic to our innate Process identity, for once again, we are a Process and not stationary embodied identities whose processes may perhaps only lay in the overt behavioral movements we carry ourselves about to effect a material end, for this overt behavioral movement in itself is an Effect the Cause of which lays in the oscillating center of our very Be-ing. Therefore should an individual be witnessed in a state of Self-degeneration outwardly characterized by poor personal hygiene & a dysfunctional interpersonal relatability, these few but telling overt behavioral traits open a window to see through into the chambers of that person’s Be-ing as suffering an undue stagnation as a result of a disconnection from the Higher Authority’s Feed. A disconnection that is often engendered by a socialization into socio-cultural contexts attended by demands that sway our focus from nurturing our connectedness to the Higher Authority. And suffice to mention one of these contexts that tend to foster the degeneration of our Be-ing is the corporate space, where considerable focus is placed on building what Danah Zohar & Ian Marshall have referred to as Material Capital; that is the varied tokens of money & other physical assets worth liquifying. For whiles accruing Material Capital affords one the means to a livelihood and access to goods & services, Material Capital by itself does not nurture our connectedness to the Higher Authority thereby does not keep our Be-ing in its original Process identity to flow with the infinite motion intrinsic to creation, thus does it not stifle it?
Spiritual Capital in the light of this exposition must flow with the fluidity of the Process that we are as Be-ings placed at the center of created existence on Earth, and thus Spiritual Capital is bound to be an evolutionary manifestation of our degree of relatedness to the Higher Authority from whose essence our own is derived, a prime connectedness that solely dictates the quality & calibre of our Be-ing, for it inspires a progressively sustainable agency in all Be-ings maintained on that connective continuum.
In all these we come to bear solemn witness of the fact that for any Organizational Order born of a human initiative to truly evolve it must foremost recognize its human population as its core evolutionary impetus with a wealth of intrinsic value placed upon each and every individual constituting the human population within this Organizational Order. Otherwise this so called Organizational Order will crumble into bits in the long run, for if the human population at the core of an Organizational Order represents it life and thus moving force, must the individual units constituting that cohort not be nurtured in those aspects that engenders their own tick so they can keep ticking for the Organizational Order they form a part of to carry on in long-term sustenance? Methinks so must be the case, and this is the whole concept of building Spiritual Capital; building a sturdy bridge between the source of all progressive sustenance into the socio-cultural structures we choose to sire in holding same!
