Sir, I have a vision about the culmination point of my work as 'playfulness.' Can you share your thoughts on this topic?

Hi, Surabhi Rani,

Before I develop thoughts on this, can you first elaborate a bit more about your vision about the culmination point of your work as playfulness?


With love,
Eckhart Aurelius Hughes

I think I have replied to all the questions. If I missed any, please do let me know.

I have a vision about the culmination of work as playfulness. By this, I mean the state of mind of the workaholic people. When intense activity leads us to see our work as fun. It is pure bliss when there is no difference between work and enjoyment. Work becomes our natural and spontaneous expression. Can you share your thoughts on this, telling what concepts one needs to have to attain this state of being?

I currently have no questions to ask. I already asked one or two questions that I had in my mind. Thank you for checking it out!

Hi,
I have always wanted to save money. I even make a budget to stick to. Earlier, I had issues coming up with a good budget, but that was resolved after attending an Equity Leadership Program meeting that taught me about budgeting.
Lately, however, I've been having a hard time sticking to my budget. Once I receive any money, I end up spending it on other things. Then, when the money is gone, it dawns on me that I had a budget that I didn’t follow. What are the best ways I can adopt to help me stick to my budget and save?

Hi Scott,
First, I did read your book In it together. It is beautiful, I loved how it grounded me to live in the present, in love with everything and with inner peace. It helped me accept cards I was handed with the world and accept how life is.
However, when I was reading the book I was in the middle of my spiritual awakening journey to have my consciousness interconnected with the universal consciousness. But before this spiritual awakening journey, I had started reading the bible and being religious. Somehow, I believed spirituality and religion will align. But from how it's coming up so far, it is not. When I'm being religious, I base all my living and dealings down to the fruits of the holy spirit. When I'm being spiritual, I live in the present, accept and love all as it is. I do believe the God I worship as a Christian and the infinite conscious being that I'm connected with in spirituality are one and the same. All powerful, infinite, loving, forgiving,all knowing and omnipresent. I would say spirituality and religion are almost similar.
The part that confuses me or makes me think that spirituality and religion is not the same, is the part where religion talks of heaven and hell, and punishment of souls that sin.
Currently I have a boyfriend, he lives in the present, grateful for cards he has. I do tell him he is unconsciously spiritual . We are not yet married but probably in the next 3 years and we do have sex. Now according to spirituality the sex is okay as long as it comes from love not lust and brings me inner peace. According to religion, that breaks the fruit of self control and I should wait till I get married. This fills me with guiltiness If it comes from love, why do I feel guilty?
Is religion and spirituality the same thing?
