Terms like “existential crisis”, “spiritual intelligence” and “self-awareness” have gained traction with the impact of Covid-19 and a growing consciousness of the precarious state of the earth.

There is a proliferation of pop-psychology articles with headlines like: “From Shattered Goals to Meaning in Life”; “What is an existential crisis, and how do you overcome it?”; “You Can’t Cure Your Employee’s Existential Crisis. But You Can Help”; “What is self-awareness? Why is it important?”

“One must say yes to life and embrace it wherever it is found – and it is found in terrible places,” James Baldwin The two major psychotherapeutic systems created by Freud and Adler attributed human motives primarily to a quest for pleasure or a need to have power or control. From Frankl’s perspective, they failed to address the spiritual realities that are an intrinsic part of human life.People are experiencing a crisis of meaning at personal, family, community, country and global levels, as well as in different disciplines, says Kanda.

Oelofsen’s emphasis is on the need for more effective relationships. “You can’t fix complexity, you have to navigate it. We are suggesting to our clients that complexity is not a problem; it is not a threat; it is just life, and we need to build a relationship with it rather than trying to fix it or sort it out.”

“Wellness is part of the whole system. That is a big shift now. Wellness is not a separate block in HR. It is what the whole company is about. Companies need to know where their employees live, how they live. They need to be invested in how their employees get to work. If most of their workforce lives in townships and travels on taxis, they need to be working to improve conditions in townships and in taxis,” says Oelofsen.

Asking fundamental questions is one of Zohar’s principles of spiritual intelligence. “Live the questions,” the poet Rainer Maria Rilke said.
