In today's world, America and the world face many tough challenges about the future. Our jobs are at the forefront of those challenges as, through an increasing cruciality, we are faced with a recession and an economy in need of repair. The jobs which we choose to work at represent characteristics of our totality and bring them to the surface. It is important to remember that any and all jobs have numerous valid lessons within their modalities. Even jobs that many people think of as 'bottom jobs' have many useful perks and advantages (as we see in the example of the janitor in the movie 'Breakfast Club') that aid in our process of learning through this experience of life. The goal is to blend the world of work with that of play and unify the two. They are essentially one and are simply two ways of understanding ourselves. The more we blend our artistic potential into our work & play, the more that life becomes synchronisticly abundant and fluid with threads of purpose that inner-twine. Either in work or play, we must see every interaction with co-workers, the general public, or friends as a opportunity to not only learn a great deal from our environment, but also to spread seeds of our light & perspective into the lives of others. Enjoy your work & play, and enjoy turning one into the other into completion.

yes there is some suffering in this transformation as people are losing jobs, homes, savings, retirement, 'security'... but in the big overview this is a good path to the new paradigm
= the death of economic slavery and the rebirth of regional economies based on what grows there and people's creative problem solving...trading, bartering, sharing, caring, helping, revising, rethinking, connectivity
I'm praying for the death of the stock market and corporate parasite and the rebirth of local, tribal values, updated for NOW
a very good read btw is David Korten's AGENDA FOR A NEW ECONOMY - a good read, only 10 bucks and totally validates what I've been thinking
