To Jan. Jogn and At--
Okay... SO none of you like the idea of a Chief Spirituality
Officer...for different reasons. Jan and John seem to be in agreement
that spirituality is something which cannot be represented by a position.
And At felt it was too limiting...
I guess I liked it because the thought of corporate recognition of
something which is central in my life whether I am at work or home --
seemed pretty awesome. Do I feel it would be objectified? I am trying to
think why this would happen and what the actual consequences of such an
objectification would be.... I guess I read into the position as
something that would be more ceremonial and a reminder than as say a body
that would create spiritual policies! I don't think spirituality is so
horrible to talk about explicitly. I feel things have eased up a great
deal and people are much more open about their spirituality. We have it
in one of our worshops but we don't call it spirituality. No, no, no. We
call it Leading Yourself with Personal Power. Used to be called
Self-empowerment but that word got ruined...

The question I referred to -- Have I done the best I could do in this
situation -- is simply for my own use, not to report out to anyone else,
not to worry about whether or not I have answered the question right! It
is just a way for me to reflect on myself and by myself. People spend a
lot of time in self-doubt and judgement -- this cuts through that pretty
quickly. And if you can do as I said below with the answer...then it
makes life a lot easier!

Isn't it all about choosing?
