Discussion group on GOD and business

Hello Sierra,

Will this group share a common interests [Biznik members that believe in a Higher Power networking together] or something else [Example: Bible study]?

-Andrey

Hey Sierra, it will be interesting to see the details on this Biznik event. Knowing this community, and the wide range of interest, both business and personally, I bet there will be a positive response.

And knowing you, and your passion, I'm sure it will be a great experience. Not sure if we would be able to make that date, but certainly will keep our eyes open!

Sierra,

I think that the way you have framed this with the "higher power" sort of inclusive language, that not only will you not offend someone, this event has the potential for starting a community conversation that can only benefit and enrich us all.

Best of luck with this, Sierra. And if anyone can moderate a group with diverse opinions and ideas, it's you.

This is classically edgy stuff, Sierra, so it must be a perfect assignment from God herself, to inspire you to hold the space, and collect the date and interpret the results, all without being prejudiced or partial in any way...unless of coure God plays favorites who those that believe in her, then of course, you are off the hook! The assignment is noble...maybe a believer's section and a nonbeliever's section, and neither category would know about the other? Of course only God could pull off that a miracle! The eigth grader's class I attended liked this classic monkey question: Could God create a rock so big and heavy that God could not lift it? Andrew

Hi Sierra,

I'd be interested in knowing the ultimate intention. Knowing this would allow for the support you may be seeking...

Very interesting topic, Sierra. It's definitely something I am going to thinking about!

If I lived in Seattle I would be sure to come out. Best of luck and please keep us posted on how everything works out!

Wow Sierra, God and business, you know its going to come down to faith and what an individual is willing to accept as reality. Personally I don't believe that God engages in business other then through humanity. Of course that opinion just leaves a big door wide open for interpretation. Good luck and lets have some fun and education. Art T.

Dear Sierra,

You seem to be onto something Hot!

Ten years ago my wife and I went to a life changing conference in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico. The title was "Business and Consciousness", held by the Message Company of Santa Fe (www.bizspirit.com). 400 Consultants and CEOs getting together to research how consciousness, i.e. spiritual consciousness, could be documented and researched and applied to corporations, ostensibly without using the quasi-offensive word, 'spiritual'. An avalanche of books and materials have ensued in this area since then, and spirituality and the values that comprise spirituality, are definitely leaking into the workplace in new and exciting ways. For example, is saving the planet a spiritual value? I think no one could argue the point! The CEO of Walmart just came out and said: "We went green as a PR move, now we see the money in it, and the need for it, and we are DEMANDING all our suppliers move toward green standards!" Is that not cool!

The most progresive corporations are all moving toward a kind of global resourcing that is easy to define as spiritual, i.e toward the common good of us all!

Will be glad to forward some more links if anyone wants them.

Best,

Andrew
