It's language that fails us, but that said, it seems the more open we
are to the "whole" of self, others, energy, ordinary, non-ordinary,
coupled with our own "primary" knowing that that provides us as
"creative" beings with "subjective aims unique to each of us alone
AND connected to the whole we find meaning and purpose and
fulfillment and in this we are guided by how that "feels." However,
the Wholeness/Universe/God/Spirit/Energy/Becoming provides "infinite
possibilities for this fulfillment, and maximum freedom limited only
by the constraints of our particular coherence conditions - beingness/
species/form. Alfred North Whitehead said - there are no isolated
facts. We are all connected and in that we impact one another in our
individual and collective becomings. Whew that's a lot of words.
Hope it makes sense. THanks for this discourse.

thus can give ourselves guidance, or find guidance in the ways that
we experience the universe. I suppose this is a difference in a
spiritual/ontological stance? Maybe we are saying the same thing?
I'm using a nondualist tantric view of the universe here.

life so wonderful. Be well. j

In a nondual view, all energy is spirit, and the universe bears
paying attention to, but it will not offer guidance, only grace.

Sometimes there is energy that just explodes and other times the
energy has a direction influenced by spirit - I prefer the latter.
Intention ask the universe for guidance -

There are lots of forms of "energy" that pass through the
"membranes" of companies besides just money! People and their
passions are one.

Thanks Arthur - reminds me of the thoughts of Arie deGeus in
his book on "The Living Company" who studied what makes
companies last beyond 40 years.
He makes an analogy between oxygen for living organisms and
money for companies. "To support life, we need oxygen to
breath; but breathing oxygen is not our purpose. Similarly to
support continued operation, companies need to make money and
profit; but that is not their purpose. When it is made their
purpose they become money machines; rigid mechanisms unable to
adapt and learn."
