I have suspected that for many of us who have adopted a professional lifestyle that, to a large extent, takes aim at the system (i.e. flexing optionality in location, wealth building & profession to beat the prescribed 9-5 grind)—that there may run a parallel antiestablishmentarian or boundary dissolving drive among us that manifests as a stronger-than-common affinity for spirituality, the mystical, or even religious faith.

I’m curious—among us, this group of people who are seeking to dissolve boundaries in our professional lives—do you find yourself also trying to do so in terms of your own consciousness or way of being in the world in a way that you feel extends to the spiritual, metaphysical, nonphysical or even religious?

And if so, to what extent do you feel your spiritual pursuit, however it manifests in your experience, is inextricably linked to your entrepreneurial pursuit?

Or is the answer for you “not at all”?

Tough to be self-disclosing on these topics, I know, as I understand they can generate some spicy countering opinions—so I’ll go first:

For me the answer is unequivocally “yes”. My original desire to beat the 9-5 grind, achieve financial self-sustenance (even flourishing) and location independence and freedom has felt part-and-parcel to and fueled by my personal pursuit of spirituality and the exploration of the more-than-physical. I find guidance and meaning in my personal spiritual exploration that has fueled my passion and drive to achieve freedom in the “world of Caesar”.

“And that has made all the difference.”

Just to clarify - I am posting this purely out of wondering about you all and myself and I have huge respect for all beliefs, whether spiritual, religious, atheistic or otherwise. I welcome any and all of your replies, even and especially your countering viewpoints.

Heyo! Have a great day, all :-D
