IS THIS LIFE JUST A DREAM?

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream. 

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily

 Life is but a dream.

What if I introduced the idea to you that this life is about as real as the dream you had last night?  Sit with that for a moment.

What would it mean for you if it were true?  What would it mean if you found out for certain that you were asleep in another dimension dreaming your current life?

Would you spend so much energy worrying?

Would you spend so much time working and sacrificing yourself?

How would you do things differently if you knew for sure that this life was just a dream? 

Lucid Dreaming

There are therapists and teachers who instruct people in the art of lucid dreaming.  To achieve a lucid dream, one must make the intention before falling asleep that she will remain conscious during her dreams.  There are many techniques to this end, and I encourage you to research and try them!

But what does it mean to be lucid dreaming while AWAKE?  If we’re playing with the idea that this life – this world – is a dream, then could you become conscious of your waking reality while living here and now?   

What is Reality?

There are many levels of reality, actually.  Right now you’re living in third density Earth, which is a dream you’re having from the fourth density.

If you were to wake up or become conscious of your fourth dimensional reality, this world would feel very surreal all of a sudden – just like if you became conscious within a nighttime dream.

Realizing who you are in your Awakened State makes this place seem like not such a big deal.

 Take a Breath 

When we wake up to what’s really going on here – we relax.  That’s why the yogis and gurus are always so chill and smiling.  They SEE SOMETHING WE DON’T. What they see is that it’s not really possible to make a mistake.  You can’t run out of time, and you can’t mess up your mission. 

If you don’t get something right in a dream, do you fret and freak out over it in the morning?  No.  It was just a dream.  Gurus know that this life, too, is a dream and that there is no pressure or urgency. The lessons we’re meant to learn will be learned whether we stress out or relax.  In fact, there’s no stopping them.

The spiritual teachers of the world know that everything is ok. It always has been, and always will be.  And because they RELAX, they get more of the insight, psychic knowings, intuitions, and all the fun stuff YOU are longing to experience but are too wound up to get.

You are dreaming right now.  Take a deep breath and relax.  Enjoy the scenery.  Take time to smell the flowers.  Love your neighbor.  Realize that you are eternal and you’ve created this world as a place to learn.

Not as a place to beat yourself up, take abuse, or be stressed and miserable all the time.  You created this place so you could wake up and get hip to what’s really going on.  This place is a dream within a dream within a dream within a dream.   Your real self is still safely merged at home with All That Is – because it never left there.

Rise and Shine, beautiful.

Tearing up the organisational chart

The benefits and the challenges of non-traditional organisational structures:

What was the first decision you made at work today? For people who work at a ‘holacracy’ it was where to sit. They also chose what to work on, how much their colleagues should be paid, and where they might all go on the next company holiday. Makes deciding what to have for lunch feel pretty inconsequential, doesn’t it?

In this series we’ve explored the ways in which businesses are being disrupted by new leadership models, the rise of technology, and a multi-generational workforce, so perhaps its inevitable that many of the organisations adopting these progressive advancements might take them to their natural conclusion: no management.

If your first instinct, when your boss goes on holiday, is to kick back, put your feet up and clock-off at lunchtime, then working within a flat organisation possibly isn’t for you. Holacracies, flatarchies and flat organisations require one key component if they are going to work, and that’s trust. Trust that you’ll get the work done, trust that you’ll do what’s needed, trust that you’ll be fair. Distributing authority from the one to the many makes the criteria for business success a part of everyone’s role, not just those with the right kind of job title. And that places enormous emphasis on the recruitment process which must ensure that people who join the organisation take that responsibility on board.

       

There’s a lovely (although probably apocryphal) story about the time President John F Kennedy visited NASA to get an update on his audacious goal of getting mankind intergalactic. After meeting with the engineers, the astronauts in training and the scientists breaking new ground every day, he bumped into a cleaner as he was leaving the building. On asking him what his job was, the cleaner replied ‘Sir, it’s my job to help put a man on the moon’.

It makes a superb point that flattening structures isn’t just about tearing up the organisational chart – it’s about communicating with everyone and allowing every single member of staff to feel like they play an integral part of the vision and mission of the company.

Done right, and the benefits can be plentiful. The very nature of a flat structure mirrors the broader sharing economy, which allows for flexible working, job-shares and other progressive employment opportunities which recognise that workers have full lives and commitments outside of the office. More fluidity amongst the staff means that expertise can be more readily shared, creativity and problem-solving take on greater premium, and businesses can flex more easily according to market pressures and customer demands.

But it’s certainly not for the feint-hearted. The inherent contradiction is that loser, flatter organisations still need a tight handle on how decisions are made so that ‘group-think’ doesn’t hamper the pace needed to drive growth. There are pros and cons to be considered, and for many the traditional ‘command-and-control’ approach to leadership still gets the fundamentals right, particularly for global multinationals dealing with complex workforces and multiple market cultures.

Ultimately, it takes us back to that motivating vision of putting a man on the moon. Because we can talk about ‘operational alignment’ and ‘engagement paradigms’ and ‘conscious workforces’ all we like, but in truth it all comes down to something profoundly simple: we can achieve extraordinary things when everyone is given a part to play.

Project Management Templates Can Improve Productivity, Consistency and Speed of a Certain Process in Your Project

How Project Management Templates Can Improve Productivity, Consistency and Speed of a Certain Process in Your Project? How Any Process Can Be Documented Properly By Using Relevant Template? 

For any business to successfully run, it needs proper planning of the business processes. Businesses have to plan and complete certain projects to achieve their mail objective. For these projects to run smoothly, a business appoints a project manager who will take care of the planning, documentation and execution of the projects. Different managers were appointed for different projects, and each manager had to make sure he coordinates with the other to ensure that the business process as a whole functions well. However, this consistency could not be maintained between different project managers in big organizations. This is what brought about the idea of project templates. There was also a lot of confusion when managers compared different plans of projects because of lack of consistency. 

Project management templates were created to improve the consistency of a certain project. They were also made to speed up the process of documentation and planning of different business needs. They were first used only by the managers, but now businesses are realizing that these templates can be used in every department of a business to increase the consistency and proficiency of that particular department. 

Businesses can use only one template for every department in order to avoid confusion. This will help one department get a better idea about another department's process of planning and documentation, and therefore avoid confusion. 

Another great benefit of using templates is when there is a change on management, the new person coming in can immediately find out about the process of a certain project and get used to it. Even when there needs to be a change in the whole working of a company, these templates can be really helpful with implementing it. 

When selecting project management templates, ensure that they are user friendly. This means it needs to have step by step instructions in order to make it easy for the user to create the required documents they need to produce. It should also include real life examples to make it simpler to understand. A good template will already have charts and graphs laid out in a professional manner, and all the user needs to do is enter the data. 

Remember, project management templates are there to improve the productivity and speed of a certain process, and therefore need to be simple to use. Documentation with the help of them should not consume a lot of amount of time since that will just destroy the purpose. 

We Offer a Complete Set of 7000 plus Project Management and Business Templates, Plans, Tools and Forms with detailed guides and examples. And everything a project manager needs to deliver a successful project. And these templates Can Increase the Efficiency of Project Managers to Meet the Project.

Activating the Integral Heart: 4 Keys to Unlocking the Hidden Powers of Your Heart Intelligence

Have you long suspected that there are profound capacities and powers hidden in your heart that can rapidly accelerate your healing, evolution and effectiveness – IF you could truly awaken them?

If so, you’re not alone. In fact, the call to ignite the full capacity of our hearts to love radically, intelligently and unconditionally lies at the center of the entire human potential movement.

That’s because Love is what we most appreciate, are most attracted to and aspire to become. It’s the signal of real spiritual mastery. Life is a school that is teaching each of us what it means to really and truly live as Love.

And yet love usually rises and falls, comes and goes. It becomes a general intention and a vague ideal, even if it is at the center of life’s curriculum. It becomes abstract... unless we are initiated into a profound practice, an actual “yoga” of building consistent heart intelligence.

Spiritual pioneers from Jesus to Ramana Maharshi emphasized the sacred, alchemical capacities that include and transcend the biology of the heart – making it a hidden portal to radical awakening that can then infuse and transform everything that we do.

To pass through this portal requires authentic humility, patience, wisdom and skill. It requires developing a new capacity for what some mystics call “feeling intelligence.”

It involves knowing all of the dimensions of Love in all the areas of our lives...from the blissfully sublime to the heart-breaking.

The integral heart is the access point for the awakening of our divine humanity. It is the gateway to conscious evolution – functioning as the actual integrator of body, mind, spirit ... and the larger field of global and cosmic intelligence.

To awaken our heart's intelligence, though, is a radical matter... needing us to go far deeper than mere sentimentality or sweet emotional feelings. It integrates the knowledge of the mind, rather than giving preference to feeling over mental clarity. It also means being very honest with ourselves.

In our public culture, people rarely speak courageously about the universal, existential experience of loneliness. Much of society is devoted to avoiding difficult feelings. So it’s no wonder that we rarely talk honestly about loneliness... or about dying and our fear of death... or about the profound matter of learning to love. This tends to keep our capacity to contact the heart’s innate illuminating knowingness at a superficial level.

As you learn how to activate the “integral heart,” you mobilize a new form of intelligence in your life – one that gives you access to more clarity and more empathy at the same time. You begin to feel Truth in a whole-bodied, visceral way. You learn to navigate complex situations with more clarity and greater sensitivity. You begin to feel an ecstatic current of divine presence pouring through your body and mind in a way that makes you magnetic to what you most want to create in your life and what “It” wants to create with you.
