Your work determines your level of consciousness

[Samuel]

I had an insight about the importance of choosing a conscious career aligned to a strong life purpose. 

It might seem like a basic insight, but it just clicked for me.

The kind of career you have tends to set a limit to how conscious you can become.

If your work requires you to do a lot of manipulation, deceit and grifting, chances are very high that you won’t raise your LOC any higher because your paycheck requires you not to.

If your work is based around gratifying your ego, getting approval, sex, etc. that will also place a limit because you wont want to give up those benefits, even if they are holding you back from higher levels of development.

So this is why it’s so important to design a career that is at least on some level aligned with truth and consciousness, so that it can serve as a support for higher development, not a limit.

You don’t need to become a saint or yogi to do this btw. You can still pursue money, sex, status to burn through that karma. Just don’t make it the purpose of your career or you will pay the price of remaining at rat consciousness.

So choose your work wisely. Be smart and set things up so that becoming more conscious is aligned with your career. Expect yourself to become more and more conscious over the years.
