My work and my faith or my spirituality are not separate.  I am not better than anyone else, neither am I more loving or less likely to do something that may harm someone else.  My whole life and my spirituality are one.  That in no way means I'm perfect.

What it does mean, for me, is that every single moment in every single day is an opportunity to let go into what God has in store for me.  Sometimes I can do that, sometimes I can't do that.  I'm only human, after all.

Every day I have the opportunity to practice this surrender to my life as it is given, or to not practice.

There are different types of people at work...
Trouble Makers and those who are indifferent to socialization problems.

Trouble Makers are usually young and inexperienced.
Indifferent Workers are those who just show up for a paycheck and really dont care what happens as long as they get a pay check.

Me I think I have become indifferent....I do care but nothing ever changes drastically.

Treat others as you would like to be treated...that is the golden rule..

Don't share to much at work.....your religion from someone elses perspective may have already sent them to hell....Respect others belief system and their right NOT to believe. You may end up getting a couple more pay days..

utterly EVIL. It gets old......older than the hills, but there's zippo I can do about it.

[QUOTE=lorie11;49198]I believe that I am a spiritual being having a human experience but I haven't always been conscious of that.  When I come from more of that conscious place I believe I am living closer to my true spiritual nature. 

Although I do believe whether I am conscious of it or not I am still a spiritual being but living as a human being in the duality of this existence I can forget / become unconscious of this fact.  When this happens I tend to experience life as less fluid, more difficult, more painful.   I tend to be not as kind, loving or open.

But when I remember this - that I am a spiritual being having a human experience, I live a more authentic, loving existence which I believe is more of the truth of Who I Am.

It is when I live from this place that things, no matter where I am tend flow, be more peaceful, - the outer reflects the inner world. 

But it can be a challenge in our world to stay in this place... to think I have finally 'got it' I lose it... there is nothing to get, just a place to be, just an acceptance that all that is, is okay.

Lorie,

I think you and I follow the same belief system.  In my workplace, I set aside 15 minutes (I'm usually able to) for meditation.  I also visualize my office filled with Light.  I bring spiritual books to read.

For some of us, spirituality isn't a religion of symbols and physical statues and bibles, but rather an attitude and way of life that can't be separated from work, just as we can't show up at work and leave our breath or heartbeat in the car. 

I also try to recognize each customer I meet as their I Am, not as how they appear, though that's not always easy.  Sometimes I practice when talking to them by thinking in my mind repeatedly that they are an expression of the Divine, just gracing my presence for a moment in time.  I put in place universal values such as treating as I would like to be treated, and sometimes blessing customers if I feel led to do so.  Sometimes folks are just 'drawn to the Light' and can sense the need to be around me, in which case I 'turn on the God-Light' for a bit and let them bask.  We all do that for each other at times. 

Things like this can make the most mundane job a blessing.

Well, my workplace may be a bit different, because I work for the State, in a government building, and am very concious about the requirement to keep religion and government separate. If I wanted to, I could raise a stink about all the Jesus stuff in some people's office, but I don't. I try to practice tolerance.
