1. Your Verse: This assignment is a personal reflection of you, now, and your growth as a unique human being on Plant Earth.  

This requires you to examine yourself and learn who you really are - beyond the world of material things and the expectations of our material world order. 

Each one of us is a unique human made of blood and bone, who yearns to live and know one's self and others.  How do you "become" a moral being - a person who examines oneself and the world around them, and has the ability to  examine where our civilization is taking us - who has the ability to change - who has the desire to question and to seek truth?

Our civilization expects us to join the material world and follow it's dictates: it's culture of spending, of throwing away, of neglecting nature, and the poor. 

It wants you - a willing global army of spendthrifts in a material world, always wanting more. This is who you are in this time. 

But who are you really? 

You are a unique human being made of blood and bone, who has more depth in you than our leaders of this shallow culture can imagine.


Who are you, really? Look at the world you inhabit, examine it, and examine yourself as a being in it. How will you live and be in this world as a moral character?

This is the assignment: Dive into yourself to see who you are as a moral character, and where you are going. You must show with examples.
