The Magic Notes
Few can hear the magic notes and have danced with joy together.
Many have been drowned by the noise of fame and their desire for material gain.
The universe cries for what could be, the choices that went wrong.
It cries for those who pass this way and didn’t awake to sing their song.
Leg One - Accessing Inner Wisdom
Building a traditional brick building requires that the bricks used are suitable for the purpose. In building the future
of human society each individual is a brick and has a unique responsibility for their own development and their ability to contribute to the vision of
“let there be peace on earth and let it begin with me”.
Over the centuries of human development sages from all walks of life have provided a clear message that we are not
only physical, mental human beings but also spiritual beings with an inner wisdom that can guide us. Early proponents of this perspective were Russians
Gurdjieff and Ouspenskii. They stressed the importance of what they referred to as being awake. A primary challenge each human being faces is to understand
the concept of being awake as a spiritual being. Being awake is essential to be fully alive and an active participant in facilitating positive human
evolution. Each human being has the opportunity to learn how to be awake and choose their pathway for achieving it; examples include meditation and
immersing oneself in nature.
Over my 50 years of searching, I have made notes of thoughts that have helped me learn to be awake as a human being,
I call these Bob Tales. I now view them as a resource to help contribute to building leg one of the stool.
Summary and Comment
The foundation upon which human society will evolve and build a happy, healthy and equitable world are individual human
beings. Each person is responsible for learning to be awake to their inner spiritual wisdom and learning from their life experiences how to more
effectively contribute to the well-being of society and human evolution.
The personal stress individuals face from the challenges in their daily lives and the culture of the society they
live in influences their ability to be awake to their inner wisdom. In larger business organizations Human Resources have a role in helping individuals
develop their professional skills and in creating an organizational climate within which they can be successful in their daily work. I believe it is
also very important for Human Resources to understand the concept of being “awake” to our personal inner wisdom and encourage individuals to draw on
it to help the organization achieve its purpose and do so in a way that also contributes to the well-being of society.
