Three Interventions
Inspired by Otto Scharmer, MIT
Responding to Divisions of Our Time
How can we respond to the painful SYMPTOMS of our time?
Is there ANYTHING we can do as individuals?

The symptoms are created by an Architecture of Separation:
1.Ignorance: Judging when our minds are blocked
2.Hate: Distancing when our hearts are blocked
3.Fear: Disconnecting when our will is blocked

The transformation follows the three stages
