Publisher's Synopsis
200% life
When we consider a human being with 100% progress in his career and with 100% inner enjoyment - would that be possible? The ancient Veda books do tell us about a good 200% life. Amid the dynamic activity, some leaders can indeed remain undisturbed with non-stress thinking and sharp decision-making. As the ancient wise said: 'Undisturbed am I. Undisturbed is my soul. Undisturbed mine eye... Undisturbed the whole of me'.
WISDOM BEFORE POWER
Veda is a pearl of grand wisdom. The author presents the main book Rig Veda, which is well known, and a view at a glance is given of the entire Vedic literature. Its 6 main divisions help us look far back in time and see examples of the range of societies from the smallest family groups to the largest empires plus an ideal power structure that is emerging now after the current crisis.
THE PROFOND: A COLOURFUL ORGANISATION
The analysis goes through the timeless Vedic codes for each power structure, and in the end, we see that the codes are great tools for co-creation. As such, the book points to a completely new angle of cooperation and leadership. The structure it expects to dominate in the future is colourful and lines up with the artistic parts of the Veda. We have named it 'Profond'
WE MUST EXPRESS OUR FULL ABILITY
The family and work team is clarified by the first major division of Veda literature, where we find 6 important codes that tell us how the small group works best. The first codeword is 'expressing'. To flourish fully in our lifetime, we must be able to express our inherent 'genius'. If our creativity is blocked, it causes deep stress.
International project work is an activity that may come close to adventure. It is in a foreign country with fairly unpredictable and varied tasks, and meeting fine people and seldom the opposite. There is some risk and you have to be alert, but you have the chance to express your very best and be innovative. The author had the good fortune of working as an expert with education projects in 17 countries on 4 continents.
BUREAUCRACY: PAPER'S POWER OVER PEOPLE!
Another of the 6 divisions exposes the bureaucracy, which has had its value in increasing our welfare, but we now see that it tends to become petrified and turns into a system that does not sufficiently respect us, the human being. The bureaucracy can or will get sick, so to say. When the Vedic literature is aligned with the power structures it just turned out that the bureaucracy is connected to the Ayur Veda, which deals with the healing of disease. So interestingly, the key codes of Ayur Veda tell us how the sick bureaucracy can be cured.
A HOLISTIC NEW TIME EMERGING
A conclusion is that we can predict our forthcoming society from the 6th and last division of Vedic literature. That, which accordingly will direct our future life are codes like wholeness, sharing, unfolding of full potential, and transcending. Our future will not be known by a new structure, but by higher consciousness. The Veda is a great inspiration and a great promise for us.
