I live here in America. If you use the world lower level people, they will just start to antagonize you about how they don’t like being called lower level people. So, I don’t use this term around lower level people as a result. But, what I just said is a big part of the issue. Lower level people are lower level because of how they handle situations. They typically handle situations by arguing and engaging in more primitive ways of handling problems that involve resistance, antagonism, and avoidance. Sophisticated people use higher thinking skills and approaches to handle similar problems. But, that is not the point of this blog entry.
I used to do lower level work. I used to be a delivery boy back in the day. My focus was to finish work as quickly as possible so I could go home and relax. I never thought much about the quality of my work so long as I didn’t get fired. And that is why I was a lower level person — and that is the typical mentality of a lower level person. Then I got my head out of my rear and started trying to excel in life and quickly stopped being on that lower level. Sure, the transition took a few years, but in the span of an entire incarnation it was a relatively short period.
But, what if people who did working class work did it with a higher level of consciousness. What if every cable repair man really cared about how well your wires had been installed. What if every plumber came running every time your faucet was leaking. What if every plumber lost a little weight so their pants would stop falling down? What if every programmer would get everything done one day earlier than it was due, and would double check their work for accuracy. What if people working at computer stores would learn to be helpful and speak in clear English? What if the croissants at the local bakery would taste better because the owner would visit France to see what real croissants taste like.
If we lived in a world where everyone did what they were supposed to, the world would be an entirely different place. It would be so different we wouldn’t call it “the world” anymore. We would call it “the spherical paradise”. Unemployment wouldn’t exist because everyone would be employable, and everyone would help others find work because they cared. People would find bigger and better ways of doing everything. Diseases wouldn’t exist because the medical profession would focus on healing us rather than exploiting us as medication addicts.
Higher level companies tend to think outside the box and create innovative solutions. The entire computer industry is blazing ahead bringing the world to a new reality. Others innovate in the food industry to bring us new foods, or old foods presented in a new way. There are many people who do regular work with a higher consciousness — or not so regular work with a higher consciousness. It is FUN to work with such people, fun to be a patron for their businesses, and it is even beneficial just to be near them, or be where they own a building based on my experience with feng-shui. Hmmm.
But, lower level people do not generally think like this otherwise they wouldn’t be lower level people. And the managers at the post office are not thinking about the convenience and benefit of the clients, but only how to manage their operation in a way that keeps them out of trouble. So, even the mid-level people are lower level in terms of their consciousness. Even the managers of large apartment complexes might be very high level people with millions of dollars in assets — but, many of them still subscribe to sloppiness, pettiness, and cheapness — making them lower level people in terms of their consciousness. So, many people base their lives on the lowest types of thinking — and that is why lower level people are lower level people.
But, there is hope. Once in a while, an executive quits their job and decides to start their own business doing something simple. They might open a bicycle shop, a bakery, or widget factory. It is fun to be around these people because they do what they do because they love what they do, and they do it with a higher level of consciousness and you can easily notice.
On a brighter note, there is a samosa restaurant in my neighborhood. Such a simple type of business. I can tell the people who work there are religious types who have a spiritual consciousness. Their spiritual vibe is very distinct and hard to not recognize. I told them that I thought they did a blessing on their food and that I could taste the effects of the blessing. They said that they did not, but that they cooked their food with love. In any case, I could taste the love. Their samosas really tasted so much different from any others I have ever before.
I will end this blog entry with a quote
