What
We Can Learn From Enron
Being Responsible
in an Irresponsible World
By Mort Litwack
By
now, most everyone in the business community in this country and abroad has heard
about the Enron fiasco. The implications of this case go far beyond
the employees who lost their savings and the investors who got scared and are sitting on the sidelines rather than
pursuing making their investments. This is a case of those in high places
in a corporation pursuing their own ends rather than serving the employees
and the stockholders who entrusted them to direct the organization in
an ethical, responsible, way.
But what
about the responsibility held by employees and stockholders? While it
is true, "Freedom is the essence of life!" at the same time
we must take responsibility for our freedom. It is so easy to place
trust in the hands of those who would not serve us well. Misplaced trust
has to do with the trustor as well as the person in whom trust is placed.
Rather than listen to what people say or read and believe what they
write, I believe we have a responsibility to look beneath the surface
to see where they are really coming from. Eternal vigilance is the price
we pay for maintaining our freedom.
So frequently
our subconscious mind gives us signals that we disregard. How do we
begin listening to ourselves? One easy way is to devote ten minutes
a day to clean our subconscious mind. In the morning when you awaken,
spend five minutes, closing your eyes, remaining quiet and clearing
out your subconscious mind's sleep activity of the night. In the evening
before retiring, invest 5 minutes closing your eyes and clearing out
the energies accumulated during the day that have remained in your space.
Simple, once
you learn how. The Academy For Psychic Studies offers a course in "Running
Energy" which teaches you how to achieve clearing out your subconscious
mind quickly and easily so that you can get in touch with your true
nature.
We tend to
pay attention to what people say rather than how we sense what they
mean. As you become sensitive to your own inner information you can begin practicing
the technique of going inside yourself when talking to others. You listen less to what they say and hear
more of what they truly mean.
We cannot
ignore all the information available to us, when it comes to protecting
our own freedom.
