(Thread) Why a #dhoti or #sari is #sattvik
1. Handwoven on a handloom, it is a product of patience and precision.
2. The attire is a breathable adjustable unstitched fabric that combats fast fashion pollution since there is no need to use and throw . 1/n
3. Can be #adjusted to increasing or decreasing waistlines without worry or trouble.
4. Keeps you cool in sweltering heat.
5. A #dharmic way of life involves #meditative chanting during the production of thread on a #charkha (Spinning wheel). 2/n
The clothes made from the thread thus become #sattvik. An individual who wears an #unstitched fabric receives #Chaitanya or #spiritual healing, since every thread in an uncut cloth remains intact and is able to spread waves of Chaitanya all over the cloth. 3/n

Many strong empaths are actually living vestiges of a previous epoch where society was community based, more matriarchal and gave to the community first, even before the self and immediate family. That is also the level society that humanity is to evolve back to.

To move back to this advanced type of society authentic spirituality must be developed within the individual. This is done through the development of the heart which is a direct link to the higher-self.

#SpritualizedIndividual
There is often confusion around this evolutionary step on Earth as ppl often assume that the development of the spiritual individual is not necessary, or non-existent.
