QUESTION: What is your role in the fabric of humanity?

STORY: I love Leonardo da Vinci’s drawing of a piece of fabric draped over someone’s knees. So one day I copied his drawing. Here it is. Well, let’s talk about FABRIC as something that is wonderful to draw and also FABRIC is an important metaphor to explore in each person’s unique journey of coming to KNOW THYSELF. Picture the fabric of society as an essential underlying structure that holds people together in a shared community. We must remember that humanity is very much related to the natural world (trees, water, air, birds, bees, etc.). Today the social fabric of humanity is being ripped apart by leaders who use fear to divide the people - and by governments and the military that are authorizing biological weapons research. Plus pharmaceutical corporations are authorizing vaccines without proper scientific research and wealthy elites are promoting transhumanist agendas. Today we don’t even know who is in charge of the roll out of Artificial Intelligence. It is very important for each human being to take charge of the FABRIC of our own attention and to be curious. No one can do this for you. If you are interested in connecting with the Natural FABRIC of Life - check out my Ontology Work Chamber: https://www.drawingtogether.com/workchamber
