In modern times we have known only one bottom line: How much money do I make? As businesses have gotten more sophisticated, that question has multiplied to three bottom-line considerations: What is the intention? What are the means? What is the economic result? Sacred commerce adds a fourth dimension: What is the spiritual return? This becomes the most important bottom-line consideration and simultaneously redefines the meaning of profit. The merchant priests used their business relationships as a feedback system to grow personally and spiritually, especially in the area of character development and as a way to create prosperity and serve humanity. In this context, business is primarily for helping us become more loving, compassionate, caring, happy, and as a way to activate the frequencies of beauty, goodness, and truth. The world of business is a way to create meaning and value, fulfill one’s sacred design, and serve the Divine. In this context, the King of Bhutan has created a GNH, or “gross national happiness,” as a way to measure the nation’s wealth. These changes represent a global paradigm shift in values and the rise of the global citizenry—people aware of a wider and more interconnected, interdependent world. They are also associated with the 50 million Cultural Creatives in the U.S. who have in common a call for social justice and for a more sustainable, caring world; a world of international cooperation of citizens to make the world a healthier and safer place. They are part of the growing Culture of Life and Liberation that is arising on the planet to see through the misinformation and paranoia on the way to creating a world of peace and fulfillment—a world community filled with peace, prosperity, and conscious evolution for all.
