How Much Value Has Corporate America Stolen?

The news is full of stories about how much money the greedy bankers and corporate titans have taken from regular Americans.  I am a capitalist and so I do not trouble myself with the question. But having worked in corporate America, and seen first-hand the many meaningless jobs that are performed there, I have a different, more human question.  How much value has our society lost because of corporate America?

By value, I mean human talent, not monetary value.  Think about this: America's largest banks and corporations regularly recruit the best and the brightest young people from our top universities.  But these young people are not recruited for their ability to become corporate automatons; they are intelligent humans with human abilities: the ability to get good grades, to understand business and succeed in corporate environments, yes - but also to make music, to dance, to play sports, to create art and literature, to act and sing.  They are well-rounded people with other interests besides fulfilling a narrow corporate role.  They were picked up by corporate America because of all their God-given talent and intelligence, only to be placed into a narrowly defined, repetitive office job that occupies them 40-50 hours a week in the prime time of their young lives.  So I ask the question in purely economic terms: at what opportunity cost to society have these young minds been thus employed?  "Opportunity cost" is often defined as the 'cost' of the best foregone alternative; the opportunity cost of going to college, for example, is the money that could have been earned in the highest-paying job one could get with only a high school diploma.  So in these stark terms, I ask the question: for all the pure monetary value that our young corporate Americans have produced, what has been lost in terms of all the non-monetary contributions they could have otherwise made in all the different fields in which they might have endeavored, were it not for lucrative corporate jobs?  In other words, what else has corporate America taken from us by occupying these talented young people in full-time corporate capacities? How many latent Beethovens, Michael Jordans, Jackson Pollacks, Kurt Vonneguts or Jacques Cousteaus have failed to come to fruition because they labored safely in some stable career of the modern era - careers that did not exist in our harsher, less developed past? What human contributions has corporate America eliminated in exchange for all the wealth, goods and services it has produced?

I wonder.

What Happened to Poland

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

I was shocked to learn the news about the Polish president and the other 96 Poles dying in a plane crash.  I decided to meditate on the tragedy and pick up intuitive information on what has happened.  This is what came to me:

The land in the Katyn forest is soaked with the memories of violence, pain and suffering. The trees and mountains reverberate the dense and heavy vibration of negativity.

On the morning of April 10, 2010, the pilot, Capt. Arkadiusz Protasiuk, woke up with a knot, an uncomfortable feeling of tension in his stomach.  He recognized it but attributed it to the flight he was going to direct later that day and to his destination.

A mission from the Polish government was to pay tribute and participate in commemorating the thousands upon thousands of Polish soldiers, intellectuals and bright minds that were captured, interrogated, tortured and executed by the Soviet secret police in 1940s.

The Polish President felt that it was not an easy mission but it was to be done because it was very much needed at a time when his people needed support, direction and encouragement.  The President’s wife brought with her a black lace kerchief, which she planned to put on her hair during the Katyn observances ceremony.

None of the 96 passengers could rid themselves of the heavy feeling of something dense and ominous being around them.  However, they all attributed it to the massacre and the memory of the people they were going to honor.  It was quiet in the passenger cabin for most of the flight.  The pilot announced that despite the fog he would attempt to land the plane at the Smolensk airport.  As the plane began descending in the thick fog everyone felt the dreariness of the place.  They felt as if they were coming in touch with a darker, thicker energy.

Meanwhile, the pilot began feeling unwell.  All of a sudden he felt pain in the right sphere of his head, his vision blurred.  He was blinking rapidly with his eyes, trying to regain his vision realizing that he could not see with his right eye.  He was confused, panicked not understanding what was going on.  He was having a sudden and massive stroke.  The plane was rapidly descending.  He was trying to speak and let his co-pilot, Maj. Robert Grzywna, know that he needs to take control but no sound could come out of his mouth.  His right arm felt completely paralyzed.  The co-pilot did not notice anything.  He was feeling out of it, as if he himself was in a fog -- completely removed from the reality of what was going on around him.

Everyone died quickly.  Their souls rose above the burning, smoking plane and quickly continued up towards the heavens.

On a soul level these people have gathered in order to explore the concept of sacrifice.  They knew that leaving the Earth in such dramatic way would grab everyone’s attention.  By dying on they way to commemorate the fallen Poles they knew that they would reveal to the new generations and remind the world about the horrible atrocity that occurred there during the Second World War.  They knew that people would be exposed to the horror of what man could do.  There was symbology even in the fact that they died in a Tu-154, a Russian designed plane, because the 22,000 Poles were one after another shot in the back of their head by a Russian hand.

Their act of sacrifice was meant to remind people of what has happened.  And teach people that war, aggression and violence is never the way to go.  This reminder was orchestrated because our consciousness has evolved enough and we can understand the lessons and not respond to the violence with violence.

We are being reminded that every choice matters and that people are not faceless warm bodies, but that each and every one of us is an expression of the divine light.  To care for, to love and appreciate yourself means to care for, to love and appreciate your neighbor.  Now we can look back and say that we are not Russian, German, Polish or American – we are people and we are all the same.  We all carry in us a soul and are filled with a desire for happiness and an expression of the goodness and God-ness within us.

There is also a second, very significant part to the sacrifice that these 97 souls made.  It was a sacrifice made out of love for their country and their people.  The act of their dramatic death was in a way a completion of a chapter, a way to close the book of the past.  The President was a man who carried within him the hatred towards the communist regime and the suffocating grip of the USSR.  He carried the memories, the old ways, and the old beliefs.  Knowing that he is a hugely influential figure who together with his twin brother, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, dominate the political landscape, he decided that it would be for the good of his people that he removes himself and makes way for a new generation.  He knew that his sudden passing would create a vacuum and opportunities for a new beginning.

My dear brothers and sisters, know that from the greatest darkness comes the greatest light.  Do not allow your fears to succumb you into feeling threatened, cursed or lost.  Understand that this is a moment that calls for young people with new ideas, new ways of being in the world and relating to the world.  Begin to see this as an opportunity to shift the consciousness of your nation and to truly express the sláva (the glory) that is in your blood.  The power is within you.  Lead the way for all of us into a new world with societies based on higher principles!
