Heart Flow and the Workplace May 2002 Heart Flow is, as the name implies, the living flow of the loving Heart of Maitreya. The Lord Maitreya is the Risen One, who for the Solar Logos (God) holds the energy of Christ, the Teacher of All Men and Angels. Maitreya is the Guru of Earth's humanity, and together, Maitreya and the Buddha Gautama represent the Second Aspect of Logos, Love and Wisdom, to all souls who inhabit the planet. Heart Flow reaches all whose hearts have opened to goodwill towards others, those whose hearts are motivated by unselfish feelings and thoughts towards fellow brothers and sisters, and therefore those whose hearts act with peace and joy in all situations. The Lord Maitreya teaches us that we must pray, invoke, chant and meditate as much as is possible throughout our 24 hours each day to heal, not only ourselves, but also our surroundings. We the population of Earth must take responsibility for our actions not only in the present life, but in all our past lives. The action of the Violet Flame transmutes and transforms those lives and this present life to free us, liberate us and illuminate us so that we may obtain cosmic consciousness and global awareness. The effect is that with an enlightened consciousness we act as enlightened world citizens. Enlightened world citizens act for the good of all and bring light to those who they touch by their presence. In order to become enlightened, you learn to live the love and the wisdom. When you live the love and the wisdom, you become pure light. Your aura is a purified sun and you radiate blessings of Logos not only to all you contact and connect with, but to the Earth, which is a living body in great need of love and light. When love and light are channelled into Earth and around it, higher vibrations are created in it. This is the same process that happens in a human being when he/she is receiving love and light within and without. Start this process or continue this process with Heart Flow. We all have a workplace, some in the home, some outside of the home. Bring Heart Flow into your workplace with a daily affirmation: Heart Flow, Heart Flow, flow from my heart into all my daily situations, and when I am uncertain of how to react to the challenges of the day, give me the right solution. Visualisation: See yourself standing with a ready smile on your lips, knowing that you are going to do well, whatever comes up. The workplace can be an area of joy or disaster. Why? Because there we interact with human beings who all have their personal difficulties and problems to contend with. People may be pleasant or unpleasant. They may be loudmouthed, angry, irritable, calm, balanced or rocks of strength and inspiration. They may harass you in a number of ways – sexually, aggressively, high-handedly, rudely, or indifferently. Whether you leave your home to work or work inside your home, when you wake up in the morning, you either look forward to work that day or you dread going to work, and the latter will inevitably lead to endless emotional upsets – upsets which you do not know how to handle and which may then cause afflictions and depression. How can we go to our workplace with expectations of having a good day ahead? By preparing ourselves properly. Not many have a workplace that is a dream of a place. Most people have bosses or workmates, some of whom may be extremely difficult to work with. Feelings of jealousy, needs of all kinds, intrigues, misunderstandings, and bad communication are matters present in most workplaces, as human beings bring their shadow sides as well as their positive and well-meaning sides with them to work. What you need is to have a new way of tackling a less than ideal workplace. For example, in the case of a boss or workmate who is unpleasant in one way or another: Take a quiet moment, it can even be seconds, to centre your attention in your mid-chest area, known as the heart centre. Then visualise a rose coloured light flowing from you into the other person's heart centre. This can be done either in the presence of the person in question or merely as a visualisation technique. Now what you must try not to do: do not return anger with anger, with coldness or the like, as what you do not want to do is resort to the same kind of unpleasant behaviour as you are receiving. It should be duly noted, though, that these are some of life's hardest challenges, because life has taught us to use anger as a form of self-defence. Instead, use your Heart Flow technique and continue to do so when the need arises. Then before long, a positive change will be noticed in your relationships with others. This technique can change situations dramatically. You may find that your difficult colleague leaves the company or even that you get a new job offer. Sexual harassment in the workplace is a too common problem experienced by many. Harassment is founded in hate towards your fellow human beings, and this hate results in a desire to control and have power over others. We must understand that when a person sexually harasses another person, we are dealing with a person suffering from a character disorder. The need to harass others often comes from bad experiences in childhood, relating to upbringing, abuse, or even merely delusions of maltreatment. These people then let their character disorder have a negative effect on those they see as weak. They choose their victims – they do not treat everyone the same. Harassers set up situations where they become the controller and the other, their victim. For example, in today's times of unemployment it is all too easy for employers to hold power over the workers’ heads, as the workers might be too afraid of losing their job, lest they not get a new one. Over some thousands of years there has been a strong male dominance in society and in established religions such as Judaism, Islam, and Christianity as a whole, as well as in certain branches of Buddhism and Christianity, for example, the Mormon Church. Through this dominant perspective, men are considered as having a higher standing than women – women are not regarded as men’s equals. In modern western society today, many women are made to feel inferior in workplaces as well as in homes. I acknowledge that some women are manipulative, controlling and focused on negative power, but the percentage of women who do this is smaller than with men. Male dominance is fed by patriarchal religions, which play down the role of women as being fleeting and lightweight (relatively unimportant). Even though many claim no longer to believe in religion, these attitudes still have an effect on mainstream society. Sexual harassment from men to women I believe comes from a lack of respect towards women and a lack of understanding of the female psyche. Sexual harassment often comes from an ingrained hatred towards women. Where the hatred comes from has to be looked into in each individual case. Sexual harassment from women to men does occur, although not very frequently. It, too, comes from an ingrained hatred towards men, the reasons for which again have to be looked into individually. Traumas in one’s childhood have many consequences in the life of the adult, and sexual abuse often has very sad consequences, which may lead to sexual harassment and imbalanced sexual interludes in adult life. When sexual harassment arises in the workplace, it often does not help to look for other employment before certain personal issues have been resolved. There is a reason for sexual harassment, and that is due to some energy in you (you could call it a karmic condition) which attracts this unwanted attention. Find out why you send out an energy that somebody responds to with sexual harassment. Clear this energy in healing and/or counselling/therapy. At the same time as doing this, make the visualisation which is described under Heart Flow in the workplace. Before long the sexual harassment will stop and you will find better employment. If you find better employment, leave the old employment with gratitude and blessings. Do not leave with anger and disturbed emotions in your heart, as this will create unwanted bonds to the person you feel anger towards, and it may disturb the new equilibrium in your new workplace with regard to future work relationships. |
