Thread 8

Dear Community,
Blessings.

Getting started a second time. I realize in looking at y/our work, our getting out of the gate needs some refinement.
So here we are.

Ok for clarity. In working with the development of community we are looking at a concept:

"When the individual is authentic and genuine, then when entering into community, harmony can occur naturally.
It is here that we begin to understand the Humans place in Natural Order of all creation.
It is in this way, we learn about Being a DivineHuman Being INlove."
JIMI TAO

There are two parts that we are looking at, 1 the individuality and 2 the community, not necessarily in that order. UNification is ONE and yet we must be able to identify parts in order to understand the integrity of the whole and the open heart of authenticity as pure sacred innocence.

Part 1 Individuality

Identify your character from your worthiness box. (REMEMBER your character does not have a symbol)
Identify your personal quality and its symbol that you are working with. 3. When I say identify, I mean post it for the community.

Part 1 Individuality + Group (This is to be done alone by each person)

Using your Quality and Symbol AND the Quality and Symbols of the Group, create
A. A Unified Statement based on your understanding.
B. From this understanding create a symbol to reflect this understanding, IN THE ORDER of your written work.
C. Post A and B in the Eastern Group Gallery. Make SURE you post your name so your mates can identify the creator.

Part 3 Individuality

Write.... using this sentence
       A. How does my THREAD ________, my Quality and my Character work together.
       B. Write a statement about yourself here. This is your identity for the group. Make sure that your statement is in alignment with all of your bodies: Mind Body, Physical Body and Wisdom Emotional Body. Make sure that you are stating something about yourself and not just parroting words based upon the language.
       C. Break this statement down to 5 usable sentences.

**Here the understanding of community comes in and you are now watching the Otter movie and answering the questions, gleaning understanding........

Part 4. Individuality and Group (This is to be done independently by each person)
       A. CREATE a Symbol using everyones individual symbol contribution (See part 1 Individuality). Do NOT USE the Thread 8 Symbol WE want to look at what the group looks like without the influence of the Thread.
       B. Rule.......Every Symbol must be easily Identifiable and represented in your creation.
       C. POST your group rendition.
       D. You will vote on the Symbol which most beautifully and accurately portrays the group.

Part 5. Individuality and Group (as a group)
A. Using the 5 sentences of each individual you are to co-create a story, song or prayer.
B. The Rule is every number must be used in accordance with that number. In other words all sentence 2's must be used together.

YOU CAN NOT MERGE A 2 sentence with a 6 sentence.

Part 6 Individuality and Group
A. Co-create a Group Shield (REGIONAL)
B. Here you will integrate the Qualities from Thread 8 into the Chosen Symbol (Part 4 #D).

Part 7 Individual and Group
A. Co-create a Group Song
B. Here you will put to music your Story, Song, or Prayer AS YOU INTEGRATE the QUALITIES of Thread 8.

I love you,
Please feel free to talk with me.
