“The future is not what it used to be.” ~ Arthur C. Clarke

In a similar way that adults have outgrown the clothes worn in childhood, so too the models of economics, commerce and business no longer fit our current consciousness. For consciousness too has grown. Past consciousness allowed for discontinuities for which its current development has no tolerance. There is increasingly less and less charity in the energetic fields of our lives for the incongruities and absences of integrity of our past. Aligning with Life’s living systems is our new imperative.

Business organizations predicated on misperceptions of human subsistence needs, longing and desire, and the falsity of fear-borne logic are crumbling round the globe. The models on which business and organizations fostered their vision, mission and operations have been a valid part of our evolution, and need be honorably discharged and retired. Their service complete. Their day has past. We are to move on.

Many in government and business however seek qualified tailors and seamstresses for the purposes of making alterations - attempting to refit the models of our past. They have yet to see there is insufficient fabric for rendering what is now needed. We must instead draw from another bolt of cloth and look to different patterns and palette.

There is a fabric in life that is little noticed, yet evidences of it are seen in the skeins of wisdom present in nature, poetry and authentic spiritual teachings. Here, one finds the designs of natural living systems. I am not referring to other species, nor animal, mineral, vegetable or fungi forms of life. I instead am looking into the natural commerce of energy exchange that occurs wholly unnoticed, right before our eyes, as life shuttles its weft through the underlying tension and threads of our ancestral warp.

This commerce consists of energetic fields of consciousness itself. These fields are the only actual ‘substance’ and instrumentality of our lives and world. First peoples lived their lives in constant conversation with these life-affirming fields which constituted Wisdom Herself. We too are to consort with Her again.

For newly two generations Western Europe has been the birthplace and first home to an approach for accessing these fields of Wisdom. Fields from which we may inquire how to proceed with business operations, mission and vision. As much as we want to believe in the benefit and value derived from the industries who brought us mass production and the concept ‘one size fits all,’ it is simply not the case. It did not work then nor does it now. Diverse expression is the core constituent of our physical world and each human life. Ignoring this is making a vow with failure.

German psychotherapist Bert Hellinger, in his midwifery wisdom, simply did not believe that his client’s issues were psychological in origin. As a result he brought us a means of working with the rarely seen energies of families, businesses and organizations. Turns out that the fields of energy carrying waves of signals we use for mobile phones, radios and televisions, in their subtle forms, are communicating information to and from people in families and collectives, e.g. businesses and organizations. It is in these systems Hellinger worked.

Communiques are sent and received outside of one’s awareness. They guide and direct the circumstances within each system. A businesses success or failure is determined by the field until its members become consciously aware and behave in a manner consistent with Life’s commerce. Hellinger brought approaches for accessing these fields, revealing root causes of problems and a means or reconciling problem situations.

In like manner that no one understands electricity, we use and benefit from it. So too with constellation processes. We use them and get value, yet understand nothing of how they function. These fields are a natural commerce of energy exchange which is only hidden to those of us persisting in looking at life through the lens of the conceptual ideologies of others. All ‘hidden dynamics’ of business systems can be accessed by opening one’s own perceptual faculties - the ones we have been taught to ignore.

Constellation methods involve, most often, the use of others representing company members. It is best that the representatives know little or nothing of company circumstances. The process begins as a trained facilitator elicits the problem from a founder, owner, principle shareholder, corporate officer, exec, manager or supervisor, with sufficient standing to make such queries.

Representatives are selected. With direction from the facilitator the representatives (and the facilitator) begin perceiving information and having sensations directly from the system’s field. They are informed of details they would otherwise not know. The field of unseen energy informs them.

The field informs the circumstances of root cause and its ensuing consequences. Constellations provide diagnostics and are also tool of remedy. The fields informs what actions are required to reconcile things. Some actions are to be done in the constellation process itself. Others actions are to be taken later during the performance of one’s work functions.

You might well question such a process. Do so. Yet, until you perceive this process personally, you have no valid basis from which to assess it. Our upbringing and training has taught that anything intellectually indefensible (as this process is) is to be considered invalid at best. Constellation processes need no defense. Their value and veracity stand on their own as many owners, officers, executives and manages attest.

If there are obstructions to the flow of your work, business or organizational goals. If your vision needs enlivening. If you are confounded, puzzled or passionately pressing forward toward the fulfillment of your vision, come round and experience this robust and uncommon approach of aligning one’s leadership, organizational goals and operations with the natural commerce of our universal and natural Wisdom.
