People ask me if GeniusWork is spiritual, and if so, why I did not include this term when defining GeniusWork. I definitely think that when one (person, community, or world) finds his/her/its GeniusWork life, that that life will truly be about a level of spirituality that is profound and deep –which is the way I like my spirituality.

And yet, I will be honest – The word “spiritual” seems to be bandied about these days, in ways that seem to lessen it. Maybe it is simply because words are actually inadequate to convey spirituality. Maybe it is because the marketers have gotten to the word, and so are using it to sell you things – everything from books and coaching sessions, to products and media. Maybe it is because the logic and the ego may try to box it into a corner and offer it up as an answer to all your questions.

So I ask you to answer this question for yourself. Kristina mentioned the “spiritual and creative flow,” with an understanding that the two go together. And I know that for me, the way of GeniusWork is one that is very much fueled by a spiritual longing and exploration. I know that when Ann asked me if I was doing my GeniusWork, the resonance of the question entered me on many levels. I also know, that Rilke advised me years ago, to be willing to live the question.

In spirit,
Sakada
