Marc Lesser
Author and entrepreneur Marc Lesser built his company, Brush Dance, from a tiny recycled-paper venture operated out of his garage to a multimillion-dollar publisher of greeting cards and calendars. Armed with an MBA, this founder and CEO grappled with the usual challenges of running a company: meeting payroll and balancing cash flow, hiring and firing employees, maintaining relationships with vendors and customers, and growing the business in a difficult economic climate. Informing every decision was Lesser’s commitment to Zen practice. As an ordained Zen priest, he has practiced and studed Zen for thirty years. In his book Z.B.A. Zen of Business Administration; How Zen Practice Can Transform Your Work And Your Life, he follows the great Zen tradition of teaching stories and beautifully describes the delicate path of living a working life as a spiritual practice.

Toward a Consciousness of Oneness
At a press conference immediately following the earthquake in Japan, President Obama noted that “for all our differences in culture or language or religion, ultimately, humanity is one.” A century ago, earthquakes in California, India, and Italy similarly evoked shared grief and mutual assistance, although oneness was not yet part of our mainstream vocabulary – nor our consciousness. This significant shift in awareness during the last century illustrates the power and promise of evolution.

Ancient Cosmology: A Map of the Future?
Like the mayfly, which lives but one day a year and knows nothing of the seasons, the human being has an average life span that comprises only one-360th of the roughly 24,000-year precessional cycle. And just as the mayfly born on an overcast, windless day has no idea that there is anything as splendid as sunshine or a breeze, so do we, born in an era of materialistic rationality, have little awareness of a golden age or higher states of consciousness – though that is the ancestral message.
