Conscious Work Places

[ValiantSalvatore]

Hello,

I read sometime ago about the discussion here about Elon Musk. That he should work on his consciousness first, was the conclusion. I scanned through the post again and the root cause seems to be his ego or rather how he adresses the things that he is doing. So, I don't know what exactly he is doing if he is developing AI for example or if that is another company (OpenSource was the name I believe), I know that he is responsible for Space X and wants people to get to mars. Also, for Tesla.

So, I posted a question in that post which has not been answered, questioning if there are examples that can show people who are highly conscious and successful. (Besides any author of spiritual books )

I was pondering whether or not it is possible to find work places, that are conscious or that foster the development of consciousness. Of course "I know " intellectually from hearing audio books that any activity can be done consciously, yet I have to say that this is not my reality (maybe slightly to a degree). So, I was just curious to find out, if there are any career paths , where people working in that industry are conscious, or that the structure of the company / career / job enables you to work with conscious people. The more I think about it , the more I believe that it does not matter in the end, yet in the meantime I am not enlightened or overly conscious, so besides doing meditation and (soon) going to attend retreats, I wanted to ask which career paths besides creating your own company, are facilitating / fostering the growth of consciousness. 

Note: Yes, I don't know what consciousness is , I know that it can't grow since you are it. Yet, it can become more apparent in your life through meditation and other contemplative practices. At least that is what I have experienced till now, emperically through travelling combined with a formal meditation practice. (It shines through the ego or creates some room that you don't even notice).

I had the opportunity to talk to a zen master and besides the practial advice that he gave me ( creating a structure that will support the endeavour of pursuing enlightenment / meditation since no one is going to do that for you / support you), he talked about how life will unfold and that he was even unhappy for many , many , many many years. ( Which is fking scary to me). 

The more I think about this post. I believe people will say pursure your life purpose / find it / buy the course etc. Which of course paired with consciousness work , would be the ideal path to take. 

So, since I don't know what my life purpose is, I am just curious which career paths are ideal to pursure both ones life purpose and also consciousness work. Or to be more specific, which career path ideally has the most conscious people or which company has the most conscious people in your opinion. "Most conscious" is used relative here, since I can't gauge consciousness only oberserve and try to guess whether someone is conscious or not and most of the time you just notice it spontaneously and often times doing that I notice that this is unconscious behaviour ( the evaluation part). I am currently doing an internship in a post-production company and even though the people are nice I don't think this enviroment holds great potential for growth in consciousness. Eventhough it is a nice niche to work in, as a sound engineer , online editor etc. (I am at the reception , so I have to do all the crappy stuff lol.)

Yes there are. In fact, I'd say you're more likely to find people who are conscious and successful than successful and unconscious. Here are some potential models for you to follow:

-Russell Simmons

-Jim Carrey

-Gary Vaynerchuck

-John Carlton

-Tony Robbins

-Eben Pagan

-Jewel

-Oprah

-Ryan Holiday

And that's really just to start.
