Building of the company

[Dtris]

I found it. What do you think Ra meant by "flowering of the organization"?

Gonna quote the other thread here since a reply from me wouldn't fit right there.

Can someone help me locate the Ra quote about not trying to build up a company?

I remember distinctly reading something about them saying you shouldn't uplift a company or give it too much commitment
or something.

Was there a quote that talked about it?

Thanks!

Hiya, was it this quote maybe?

62.23 Questioner: Isn’t this unusual that a fifth-density then would bother to do this rather than sending a fourth-density servant, shall I say?

Ra: I am Ra. This is correct. Nearly all positive channels and groups may be lessened in their positivity or rendered quite useless by what we may call the temptations offered by the fourth-density negative thought-forms. They may suggest many distortions towards specific information, towards the aggrandizement of the self, towards the flowering of the organization in some political, social, or fiscal way.

These distortions remove the focus from the One Infinite Source of love and light of which we are all messengers, humble and knowing that we, of ourselves, are but the tiniest portion of the Creator, a small part of a magnificent entirety of infinite intelligence.

However, this was in context with channeling spiritual information. I would think that when engaging in an economic enterprise in order to make a living, that honest and responsible marketing would be appropriate, such as we have here in the Community Corkboard sub-forum. But maybe the focus should be on the quality of whatever service offered instead of purely maximizing profit. These are just my personal thoughts though.

With most channeled sources of information you see a community of seekers gather around the source. In the case of L/L Research this community was already present before Ra was channeled due to their other work. Seth also had a group of people which formed around that source. We can see the same with current other sources such as the Cassiopeia group, Kryon, Bashar, etc.

My interpretation is rather straightforward. Ra basically says that a temptation offered by 4th density STS sources which come thru in the guise of another source will encourage the initial group on expanding, profiting, and building a power structure around the material. This not only serves to de-tune the channel from bringing in positive information but it also encourages STS polarization thru the forming of an elite group and separation from other selves.

In response to Louisabell's thoughts.

I think Ra would be able to go on for ages about the wise array of possibilities for catalyst and polarization available in our marketing systems. My personal approach in business is to educate. When I meet with a potential customer my goal is not to sell them on anything. It is to provide my honest beliefs about what they need and what I can provide while educating them about the situation they are in and their options. The "sell" comes from being worthy of their trust and providing value beyond the supposed product.

As to the second part regarding quality vs profit. This is somewhat of a misunderstanding at how a business does things for many companies. I can offer a wide range of quality products to my clients, but the key is to match the quality to their needs and price range. Cheap products exist not just for profit, but because they fill a desire in a portion of those buying a product or service. There is nothing wrong with providing a cheap service as long as everyone knows what they are getting.

Many small businesses operate with honesty and integrity and the business exists for profit, but it also exists as a vehicle for providing for the employees, clients, and owners. If the owners and managers are smart the emphasis will be on that order as well. Most small business owners understand that profit, is necessary but part of making that profit is to focus on the well being and satisfaction of the employees and clients. Profit will then come naturally if the other parts are working correctly.

One of the issues with business today is that large corporations have taken over most visible economic sectors. These corporations are often focused on short term profits to the detriment of their employees and customers. While this does happen with small businesses as well, they don't tend to stay in business long or have long term success. The large corporations are able to leverage their market positions and economies of scale to essentially ignore a certain level of bad reputation and they are more easily able to hire more employees to have a higher thru-put of workers due to their higher visibility as well.

When it comes to small businesses the people running them are just like the people on this forum and the people you interact with on a daily basis. They come in all shapes and sizes and beliefs and talents. The majority are good people trying to fulfill a dream, or carry on a tradition, or provide for their family and friends. There are also the liars, cheaters, and scammers as well. The reasons for starting and running a business are also varied and maximizing a profit can only be considered when you know you are going to make one. Most businesses waste a lot of money, and once the profit is enough for whoever is running it, they often just go cruise control until something changes.
