Interrupting, she retorted "...hey, Paul I need to take this. Can we talk about that later?" she asked rhetorically as she pressed her cell phone against her ear. 'Sure,' he said quietly, standing up and making his way toward his office.
How long is she going to shun my interests in exchange of her own bad judgments? he thought, "I have had it. I know this business more than she does." he muttered angrily, nodding his head.
Walking briskly he grew aware of the echoing sounds his shoes made against the marble floor. Turning the heads of most in his pathway. He finally reached his office. Aggravated by the thought of her arrogance, he closed his office door behind him and rushed to the phone. Comforted by the voice of his assistant, "Good morning Paul". "Johnna, get John Beck on the phone, please." Moments later his phone rang back with the call from his assistant. He took the phone, "This is Paul", he greeted while getting comfortable in his chair. "Hello John, how are you Sir?" Paul said cheerfully, working his way toward his concerns about the CEO with one of the most influential investors of the company.
A Reflection
Maybe her response toward Paul was rooted in arrogance, or apathy, or maybe the CEO was as busy as she led on. Regardless of her attitudes of heart she is called to contribute love and value to the lives that come under her influence. Extending herself with humility and sensitivity is important to her God, relationships, and business.
In a moment of overwhelm and stress it is vital that she check in with those closest to her regularly to ensure that from their perception she is being sensitive and loving. As a spiritual CEO in the moments of chaos all she needs to do is close her eyes, inhale deeply and slowly find her breath, and listen to the holy spirit remind her: Forsake not now your brother. For you who are the same will not decide alone nor differently. Either you give each other life or death; either you are each other's saviour or his judge, offering him sanctuary or condemnation. -ACIM
The Altar Illusion
Jesus: So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you, leave your gift at the altar and go. First make peace with your brother, and then come back and present your gift. Come to terms quickly with your accuser while you are on the way traveling with him, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison. Truly I say to you, you will not be released until you have paid the last fraction of a penny.
The First Attitudinal Principle: Attitude Toward Worship
Jesus: So if when you are offering your gift at the altar you there remember that your brother has any [grievance] against you, leave your gift at the altar and go.
The first concept that Jesus points out is by contrast. He perceives true worship as the attitude behind the act of worship, which is illustrated by the giving of the gift at the altar. Any moment we acknowledge some type of grievance from our brother or sister Jesus calls us to forsake our illusions of an altar and our perception of righteousness in light of true holiness. Holiness is acted upon through the understanding that God's true altar is in our minds, our bodies are his temple, and collectively we are his church. We are called to forsake the illusions that would put our distorted religions before love.
I [Jesus] am sorry when my brothers do not share my decision to hear only one Voice [the Voice of the Holy Spirit], because it weakens them as teachers and as learners...it is still on them that I must build my church. There is no choice in this, because only you can be the foundation of God's church. A church is where an altar is, and the presence of the altar is what makes the church holy. A church that does not inspire love has a hidden altar that is not serving the purpose for which God intended it. I must found His [God the father's] church on you, because those who accept me as a model are literally my disciples.
-ACIM
With every moment that passes we are given the gift to acknowledge God within each other as a true form of worship. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. - St. John
