Making A Difference In The
Workplace
by
Vered (Tanmayo) Neta
Have you been lately into a local
supermarket? Have you noticed how many brands of breakfast cereals are on
the shelves? How many different brands of breakfast cereals are you
actually eating? Few! If so, why do we need all this variety? The truth is
- we don't! Our society is absorbed in a mad race after...MORE! More
breakfast cereals, more car brands, more money, more influence, more,
more, more... The reasons? Competition, power, survival and consumption.
These are only few of the characteristics
of (in what I call), the Male Energy mentality. We can find those
characteristics everywhere. In business, politics, organized religions,
social organizations and even families. If you take a break for a moment
from the rat race you'll notice that today, humanity has arrived at
saturation point. The price we pay is everywhere to be seen. Wars and
conflict dot the globe, huge economic and social differences exist between
the West and the impoverished third world. The wealthy abide in
magnificent mansions in every metropolis, whilst thousands exist without
homes. Workaholism, and a frightening incidence of suicides, scar our
nations.
Which leads naturally to the question, is
there any other way? I believe there is. I call it, the Female Energy
approach. Instead of competition as a means to success, using cooperation.
Instead of a "me first, f*#k you," an approach of service and
win-win solutions. Instead of criticism, the use of acknowledgements.
Instead of indulgence - preservation; and so on...
As the number of choices in our life grows,
we are seeking for a balance in our lives between our inner and outer
worlds; between the demands of our jobs and those of our families; between
our focus on material affluence and our quest for spiritual meaning;
between our preoccupation with our individual dilemmas and our awareness
of the challenges facing society at large.

Favorite Quotations |
"Everything can be taken from a man but...the last of the human freedoms
- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one's own way."
~ Viktor Frankl
"Tell
me and I'll forget; show me and I may remember; involve me and
I'll understand."
~
Chinese Proverb
"The glory of
friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor
the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes
to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is
willing to trust him."
~ Ralph
Waldo Emerson

Recommended Book |
Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl is among the
most influential works of psychiatric literature since Freud. The
book begins with a lengthy, austere, and deeply moving personal
essay about Frankl's imprisonment in Auschwitz and other
concentration camps for five years, and his struggle during this
time to find reasons to live. The second part of the book, called
"Logotherapy in a Nutshell," describes the
psychotherapeutic method that Frankl pioneered as a result of his
experiences in the concentration camps. Freud believed that sexual
instincts and urges were the driving force of humanity's life;
Frankl, by contrast, believes that man's deepest desire is to search
for meaning and purpose. Frankl's logotherapy, therefore, is much
more compatible with Western religions than Freudian psychotherapy.
This is a fascinating, sophisticated, and very human book. At times,
Frankl's personal and professional discourses merge into a style of
tremendous power. "Our generation is realistic, for we have
come to know man as he really is," Frankl writes. "After
all, man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz;
however, he is also that being who entered those gas chambers
upright, with the Lord's Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his
lips." --Amazon.com

A
New Twist On The Psychic Medium
Rita Berkowitz: Spirit Artist |
"She
is able to give you a drawing of the person she is communicating
with from the spirit world."
Bob Olson,
OfSpirit.com editor:
So
many of OfSpirit.com's visitors are interested in mediumship and
spirit communication that it pleases me to be able to provide my
experiences and new discoveries with you. I have spent the last 2
1/2 years researching and investigating this world of psychics and
mediums, and many of my findings are published on OfSpirit.com's Psychics
& Mediums page. Today I want to tell you about my latest
discovery.
Rita
Berkowitz is a psychic medium which means that she can see and hear
spirits. As a medium, she communicates the messages people's
spirit-guides have for them. Whether in-person or by telephone, Rita
can tell you who in the spirit world is around you and what they
wish to tell you.
If
you have lost a relative, friend or spouse, Rita can act as a
telephone between you and that loved-one who has passed away.
Mediums use their gift of spirit communication to help you know that
your loved-one is not gone, but is very much alive and with you all
the time.
I
know this may be a difficult concept for some people to swallow. I
was once a cynical skeptic myself. But one reading can tear down
those skeptical walls and allow you to see the truth. It really does
set you free. And as I mentioned, I have written about very gifted
mediums in the past. But Rita has a most unique ability that I am
excited to share with you.
Rita's
gift takes spirit communication one step further in providing
evidence of an after-life. Rita is a "Spirit Artist." She
is able to give you a drawing of the person she is communicating
with from the spirit world. Now if that isn't one of the most
concrete forms of evidence available, I don't know what is.
Rita
works at various holistic and spiritual bookstores and gift shops
around Boston as a Spirit Artist. If you would like to do it by
phone, she could mail you the picture she draws. However you choose
to open yourself up to this incredible experience, give Rita a call
soon. As usual, when I tell OfSpirit.com's readers about these
gifted people I meet, they tend to start booking up fast.
Rita
Berkowitz's number is 781-659-6531. The cost for drawings are
only $45 for black & white, and only $55 for color drawings.
Tell Rita that you read about her on OfSpirit.com. She loves to
learn how people found out about her. |
