Lesson Information
Lesson Overview
In this lesson, refinements and mind advances are being offered to entice a more scientific and sophisticated approach to the engagements of human touch. This lesson asks you to allow the breath and life of nature to touch your mood and that of those around you.
“To generate is to create, and to create is to care about our every thought, word, feeling and action that become the will behind what gets created in our world. It is not enough to talk about the change we want to see in the world. We have to care enough to change it through taking action to do our part, no matter how big or small.” ~ Annie Horkan
About This Lesson
You may have come into this Ambassador Program via your own free will. You might have entered it because it leads to a future of unknowns.
A future…not that will be… but one that might be. That all depends on what you do with it. On what you put into it.
Mindtouch is a Generative Principle.
We don't know what you know until you offer it up. What kind of touch will you add?

Assignment
Group Discussion Prompt
There are several messages to be un-packed from this lesson that speak to dedication and loyalty; commitment and compassion; diligence, and integrity. These are necessary attributes needed to create something nobody else has. To make a stand in front of mocking and doubting crowds takes a slightly crazy mind, ingenuity, and courage. When done right, amazing things can happen.

Contemplation Journal
You are encouraged to keep journal notes of your studies. These may be a word, a quote, or an image that has resonated with you at a particular place on your journey. Journaling can help provide great personal insights, self-awareness opportunities, and keep you on track with your studies. As new revelations appear, reflecting on past journal entries can provide a good indication of your progress and personal growth.
