SYNOPSIS:
Explore what
established thinking is ashamed to let you to know.
Come
out of the closet, the
"detrimental, nature-isolated box," part of
Industrial Society.
Discover how to think, feel and walk in
the sun, as of old.
Become nature's brilliance. Help
others do the same.
Reduce
time and money spent on counseling and psychiatric care.
- We are
born as part of authentic nature's dance of the eons, genetically, interpersonally and spiritually.
.
- Nature is
the original purifying and balancing, attraction energy dance that
works in beauty, cooperation and
peace. Its diverse and self-correcting ways do not produce
garbage, excessiveness or our runaway disorders.
.
- We and
Nature are one; we are biologically and
psychologically dancing partners on Earth and of the eons.
The disconnection
challenge for those who care about living responsibly:
- We
deteriorate our planet and ourselves by excessively demanding 150
percent more "resources" than it or we can provide. We are so
traumatized by the shock of our situation that we ignore the remedy
available for it.
- In
Industrial Society, on average, over 95 percent of our time is spent
indoors, separated from nature.
- Over 99
percent of the way we
learn to think, feel and relate is destructively excessive and out of tune with the
sanely balanced and
renewing ways of nature, in and
around us.
- Hurtfully
estranged
from nature, our inborn, genetically formed 53 natural
senses cannot sensibly make sense of
or with nature. This non-sense stresses us into our disorders.
- Our
relationship to Nature, in and around us, is too
often an insensitive, profit-making crazyness. Psychiatrists like
Freud and Jung tried to help us deal with the frustration or
wounding of some of our 53 natural sense "drives."
.
- Our
madness, due to the insanity of our nature-separated desensitization,
needs help from education, psychiatry and counseling that
is authentically nature-connected, not from more of the
boxed-in
sources of our troubles.
.
- A
symptom of our madness is our inability to recognize ourselves as
the natural organisms that we are,
-that nature and our living planet, Earth,
are the
biological and psychological womb of our childhood and of our adult
lives as well.
-that Earth and we consist of the lives of every member of the
plant, mineral, animal and energy kingdoms that we identify as the web of life.
- The way we learn to think is placing Earth at risk. It is insanity for us to knowledgeably destroy our
own life support system.
We
can't excessively isolate the human organism from the perfection of its
womb in nature's dance without producing disorders in ourselves or nature, for, subsurface,
we and nature's womb are identical.
Our
disturbed mentality has forced us to excessively create and live in an
artificial, indoor "womb" that indoctrinates us to think, feel and addict
to dogmas that excessively conquer and exploit nature's dance, in and around us, as if it was our enemy. In
this
vicious circle,
the loss to our psyche of the balanced intelligence and powers of our planetary womb cause our dysfunctions and aggravates
our disorders.
We suffer our troubles in common because we are taught to be
"wombmates" in an isolated closet and we don't know how to open the
door. What to do? Learn how to open the door.
- Since
the excessive disconnection of our mentality from nature produces our
problems, our reconnection to nature's healing ways is a sensible
antidote. We can only apply it when we think clearly enough to
recognize our breach with nature
and then choose to use reasonable nature-connection tools to help us remedy it and
come home
to our inherent personal, social and environmental well-being. Our
quiet-time nature experiences demonstrate the possibility and sensibility of this
solution.
The remedy
- Learn
and share the scientific art and mindfulness of
creating sensory, bio-logical connection activity moments, backyard or
backcountry. They enable the healing power of authentic nature to restore
to our
psyche nature's purifying support and healing that we socialize ourselves to
omit from our lives.
- Our
past and present good experiences in natural areas affirm
nature's balancing powers. These moments
of sanity from contact with nature's dance are not an accident, they
are the way of nature's dance, in and around us.
- Master thinking and
feeling out of Industrial Society's physical and mental disconnection
box (closet). The benefits speak for themselves.

Experience
Nature's Grand Unified Field Through Your Felt Senses:
Learn and share as if the Universe,
Earth and Humanity in balance are important in Counseling, Education and Psychiatry
Utilize revolutionary, guaranteed-accurate
information, methods and materials that, to our loss, our misguided
socialization
teaches us to ignore.
Get real.
Trust attractions you sense and feel in a natural area. They are
unadulterated, genetic facts from the eons.
Recognize that authentic nature is a dance that has the power to keep life pure, healthy and in
balance simply because it is that power.
Let genuine sensory contact with nature help you improve your thinking,
life and livelihood. Help others do the same.
Learn the amazing art of re-connecting your senses and feelings to the
way nature provides therapy for person and planet.
It's scientific. It's accredited. It's funded. Why
wait?
This is the wave of the future if we are to have one.
THE
PROBLEM RESTATED: Our natural desire to be, to live, to survive in
balance, cooperation and joy, is part of the attraction of the eons to
manifest and support its life, a life that includes us. We are
born
from, and are part of, this attractive joy. We genetically share it as
members our planet's plant-animal-mineral-energy community. We are as
connected to the dance of nature as our fingers are to our toes.
We suffer
our great troubles because we are socialized/motivated to disconnect
our thoughts and feelings from Earth's web-of-life and the happiness of
its attraction dance in and around us. We teach ourselves to defile our
sensory genetic gifts for survival in
balance.
We indoctrinate how we think and feel to exclude the natural world's
restorative and renewing attraction powers. They are the biological
root of delight, the essence that produces nature's unity, purity and
beauty. They give us the ability to register Earth as our other
body, our living Mother Earth, and act accordingly.
History
shows that no matter who promises us change or techniques that will increase
well-being, if their promise omits how to genuinely connect with nature's
motivating bliss of life in balance, their promise includes a genetic
amputation from nature's dance and causes additional problems.
-
Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D.
IMPORTANT
NOTE:
Because the facts, below,
are based on sensory experiences, they are as true as the fact that
your are both reading these
words and seeing the
color red in this moment.
"Red" is much more accurate and trustable than "Red" because it includes "color" a natural sense experience, the best information and teacher.
Since
July 4, 2012, the critical disciplines of applied science and
mathematics have
verified that the ten billion degree heat and blazing white light
of the Big Bang included the long-missing, but
predicted, natural attraction powers of the Higgs
Boson particle.
This Copernican Science
discovery validates to our natural sense of reason that natural attraction is
the
essence of nature in and around us, the fundamental that holds thing
together. It is the core of "love."
Making contact with unadulterated nature is an empirical way for our
senses to register the pure expression of nature's attraction dance throughout our universe, including ourselves. Your
peaceful or renewing visits in nature have already demonstrated this
fact to you.
In
nature's dance of the eons, we and nature are identical. A major
exception to this is that nature is non-literate, it neither develops,
uses or understands words and their meaning, as we do. Instead, it
communes via attraction energies rather than articulates a message via paragraphs, videos etc.
In nature's dance, articulate and artificial are the same thing. Nature
is not artificial, it is genuine attraction-energy organic.
The 53 natural senses
that we inherit from nature are how its dance around us genetically
communicates
with its dance within us, and vice versa. Industrial Society mainly
honors only five of these senses. This omission disables our personal
dance from from thinking and
feeling like nature works, in and around us.
When our ability to sense, think and feel are
in tune with the energies of nature's dance, it becomes obvious
that
nature's attraction relationships create nature's perfection, its
"instinctive," psychiatric-healthy, pre-humanity,
optimums of life, transformation, diversity, preservation
and
cooperation in balance.
Indisputably, natural attraction relationships produce the purity,
sanity,
well-being and peace of the natural world. We seldom learn that the natural world includes
us and how we
think, feel and act as a continuing participant in nature's dance.
Our greatest
challenge is
to overcome Industrial Society's
many excessive and destructive disconnections of our
thoughts and
feelings from the restorative ways of nature's dance, in and around
us. This remedy is often a missing element in the efforts of
healing, counseling and psychiatry.
The Sensory Representation of
"Whole-Truth Light
and Whiteness"
To include the beneficial results of the ten billion degree blazing
heat and
light of the Big Bang, in this revolutionary article I represent them
by the white color of
the page itself because in real life "the
white page"
is always present and visible
as is nature's dance, in and around us.
I have taken this
non-traditional step since too often we learn to forget that all
things, including humanity, are part of the dance of our
universe/nature. We
all hold its sensory light in common and it enables us to think and
feel
with "green wisdom" when we consciously give it time and space to
do so.
Remember, you could not read these words if the color of this page was black. The
color of the page makes as important a contribution as do the words.
The same holds true for nature's dance and everything we think and do.
The
Nature-Disconnection Box
Industrial
Society's excessive indoor-life
stories (articulations) and therapies have socialized, bonded and paid
our intelligence to
design and build the desensitizing, nature-disconnected box that we,
today,
are born in, live and grow
into for over 95 percent of our time.
The
box contains misguided illusions, stories that addict us to thinking
and
manifesting their unbalanced, nature-disconnected ways. These stories have yet to
be discovered anywhere else in nature. They are only found in the
mind of
contemporary humanity. Each
moment we forget this, our troubles begin or continue.
The black box diagram, below, represents the detrimental ways of Industrial
Society's
closet, its civilizing
process that excessively separates us from the benefits of thinking,
feeling and relating as a seamless continuum of nature's "white" dance
that we are in this universe.
Similar to being born and raised in a
closet, this profound, closeted disconnection often results
in psychiatric,
psychological and mental health relationship problems. Genuine sensory contact with nature has
helped remedy and prevent them.
In the science of the standard universe, it is not an illusion that "who we are" is born in
and as
the "white light" of nature's dance.
Many healthy societies demonstrate that most individuals have
the beneficial ability
to think and feel in the reality of nature's beautiful, lasting and
balanced green circle, one that includes, rather than
excludes, nature's
perfection. This
is far different than,
instead, being conditioned to think and feel in the illusionary "black
box" of Industrial Society.
Science-based
reality suggests that for us to achieve balanced mind, body and spirit
there is no other way than for each of us to rebuild and live in the green circle. A free course online can start
this
process. Our Orientation Course
"Psychological Elements of Global Citizenship" helps you learn it in
nature from conscious sensory contact with nature's dance, in and about
you.

the illusionary Black Box that we are indoctrinated to
grow and live in.
NATURE-IDENTICAL CONGRUENCY
Since authentic nature's dance is always present in and around us,
including during this present moment, the white background color of
this page represents that dance in the diagram, below.
The white is on
this screen as well as registering in your mind via your inherent natural sense
of color (#3).

The Black Box represents our excessive, nature-replacement, indoor-story world, a legally required,
indoctrinated, often
false, illusion that 99 percent of our time disconnects and unbalances how we are born to think, feel and relate in rhythm with the wisdom of nature's dance, in and around us.

Nature's
dance
around us (white page color)
As noted above, we seldom recognize that
we
normally learn to spend, on average, over
95 percent of our physical time and 99
percent of our thinking, feeling and relating time
while in the confines of the nature-disconnection black box
that our
"advanced intelligence" has
built.
Unlike
the other members of the web-of-life, to our loss we live
extremely nature-disconnected lives. Note that the web-community seldom
displays or causes our dilemmas, rather it helps us reverse them.
The box indoctrinates us. Who we become by
age six is often destructively disconnected from, and out of tune with how
nature produces and sustains
its and our "white background" perfection, in and around
us. We suffer from
our moment after moment loss of nature and, bewildered, we consider it normal.

Quotes about living in the Black
Box:
"Nature's
dance is cyclic, round and global: our destructive stress results from
jamming our square peg story into a round hole/whole."
- Mike Cohen
"Life is like
a cesspool, what you get out of it depends upon what you put into it."
-
Tom Leher
From the
moment of birth or before, when the stone-age baby first meets its
twentieth-century mother, the baby is subjected to our long existing
forces of outrageous violence to life including its life. By the time
the new human being is fifteen or so, we are left with a being like
ourselves, a half-crazed creature, more or less adjusted to a mad
world. This is normality in our present age.
- R. D. Laing (edited)
“We can't
solve problems by using the same kind of thinking (or information) we
used when we created them.”
- Albert Einstein
"America is an insane asylum run by the
inmates."
- Lester Roloff
"All children are born geniuses. 9,999 out of every 10,000 are swiftly, inadvertently, degeniused by grown ups."
-Buckminster Fuller
HOW TO REMEDY OUR CONTAMINATED PSYCHE:
Below is a 12-concept path to personal and environmental success. It's
secret is: "Don't get ahead
of yourself. Only go on to the next concept when you are sure you
understand the concept you are completing."
Concept One.
Which,
if any, of the orange symptoms in the black box do you or your family
and friends
display/suffer? Do you think the underlying culprit is how our
excessive black box "mental and physical house arrest" affects each of
us?
Many
of our
nature-estranged senses are uncomfortably trapped in the
established, nature-separated, authority of Industrial Society's
box-story walls.
Our
bodies constantly hide our sensory disconnection discomfort that
results from our
separation from nature's dance in our boxed-in
subconscious mind. This helps us not feel their pain. However, avoiding
the hidden hurt
produces many stresses, problems and mental health or psychiatric
disorders.
Sub-Concept 1A
We "dress up" the walls of our personal and
social box in attractive garb
to make them attractive and protect them from being punctured.
Puncturing lets the
discomfort of our hurt and corrupted inner nature become
conscious, felt and reacted to. We call this excessive stress or many
other disorders.
Excessive
stress
or excessive responsibility often weakens the box walls and, no
surprise, our
corrupted and unfulfilled senses/desires push their way into our
consciousness. Then we feel and act out their distress.
Critical words
or statements bring to mind ("hook" "tear" or "injure") the
restrictive box-wall story and its effects. This energizes into our
awareness our subconscious hurt and
anxious senses, past and present. They
disrupt and distort our reasonableness, thinking and relationships.
Sub-Concept 1B
The box
excessively estranges our 53 natural senses
from their wise, balanced, self-healing support and fulfillment in
nature around us. Our contaminated thoughts, feelings and relationships
result. These genetically-rooted, sensory connectors of our
consciousness and attractions
to nature are seen as "junk mail spam" and treated accordingly. They,
-like
nature, because they are nature- are injured and exploited.
The box exists within us as
nature-disconnected, controlling stories, thoughts and feelings in our
psyche.
The
box exists in the environment as nature-disconnecting folkways, mores,
laws, institutions and their artificial technologies that
excessively separate, restrict, punish or reject us. We
experience the opposite: peace, support, happiness, wonder and
spirit during quiet time in an attractive natural area. This is
no accident, it is the "normal" of how the dance of nature works.
Sub-Concept 1C
MENTAL
HEALTH Today, 25
percent
of our population suffers from the mental illness that our misguided
separation from nature
produces. This is not the case in nature-centered people(s) and they
seldom display or produce the disturbing troubles that we create.
Concept
Two.
Most
of us are in supportive therapy of some form to help us deal with our
destructive, nature-disconnected stress phenomena. However, the therapy
usually takes place within the box. For this reason many problems
continue
or convert into other problems.
Concept
Three.
Severed from nature, we want. We seldom sense that we have enough.
We feel empty, unbalanced and ungrounded. We believe that we need more
of everything.
The result is
that our society now needs an additional
half-size Planet Earth
to produce enough natural
"resources" for us to recycle the pollution and deficits we
produce if we are to live in equilibrium with
nature's dance, in
and around us.
We are knowledgeably destroying our life support system and
we can't stop. This personal and social insanity desperately needs
psychiatric treatment.
Concept
Four.
What leader, individual or group you can
identify that has the ability to build the equivalent value of an
additional living 1/2 planet for
us so that Earth and we
are not excessively stressed, at risk, suffering or dying?
Most
of the information we think with originates in our polluted box wall
stories, not nature's sensory contact wisdom of the eons.
Our
poor self-image results from our natural sensory self being reflected
by our distorted box wall stories. They often blame nature and
our inner nature, for
our troubles and excessively encourage us to conquer nature.
Concept
Five.
THE BOX CHALLENGE: our lives,
thinking and wants being 150 percent out of
touch and balance with nature make us deny
that our present
disconnection from nature is a form of madness. We also deny that this
pervasive eco-psychological
disorder must be
addressed in appropriate eco-therapy or eco-psychiatric ways.
As exemplified by books, bumper
stickers and warning labels on cigarette packages, information alone is
not enough to solve our nature-disconnection problems.
Concept
Six.
The
antidote for our madness is to think and feel outside of the box, to
be re-joined with nature's fulfilling, restorative and purifying powers.
But how can we
even agree to, no less do this when our thinking is already fixated to
boxed-in answers and, in addition, we and our leaders are
being paid/addicted to strengthen our boxed-in process?
The response
to our nature-estrangement woes is to learn to use an effective
and practical, sensory Educating,
Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN) eco-therapy tool
that includes eco-art
therapy.
It enables us to create deep, connective, wall-penetrating moments
that let nature's
recycling and purifying powers in the environment begin to compost
destructive parts of
the wall, its story and its effects, in and around
us.
The more we do this, the greater becomes our ability to do it and enjoy
its benefits.
Nature knows how to self-correct and renew itself, within and about
us, free of charge.
ECHN helps our walled-off thinking give nature the permission and
space to
accomplish this.
Concept
Seven.
ECHN is not a questionable idealism or psychiatry. You already know
it works. You have momentarily experienced its phenomenal results if
you have ever
felt the
joy of a nurturing or refreshing experience while quietly visiting a
natural area,
backyard or backcountry. If you are not aware of this, your natural sense #54 can help you help yourself
Does a change in our
national anthem help you discover how much you value nature?
You know -as well as you know that you see
these words in red- that genuine
nature connections have the "composting" power to renew and clear
our mind and spirit and heal
our
injured senses. Now,
advanced science
explains how and why this happens. It has been validated in professional and peer reviewed studies as well
as demonstrated in the field.
Learning how to think with a tool that strengthens this process
is an effective remedy and
preventative for what ails us.
If
you put nature's stress-reducing, personal, environmental and socially
responsible healing powers into a pill and sold it, you would become a
millionaire. This is because the pill's side effects, rather than being
hurtful, would further improve our wellness, relationships and the
environment.
Concept
Eight.
Using
the ECHN process is fun, hands-on, and teachable as
well
as accredited,
online and free.
You become a winner, a hero in stopping and helping
others stop the detrimental assault
on nature, in and around us, an abusiveness that most of us sense, feel
and suffer,
along with the environment.
The ECHN tool
is
a special social
technology one that you can obtain academic credit and
grants for just by exploring
how and why it works. (To do this, free, you simply
visit
our degree program website and gather information that interests you,
at
your
convenience.)
Results
indicate that folks who dedicate their lives and livelihoods to
using and teaching ECHN to reduce their
disorders, recover from them as they become welcomed nature
avatars who help others recover from them.
Escape
the box trap:
Are
you motivated to start your personal path to thinking outside the box,
to take
the first step for
overcoming our resistance to change and to nature,
resistance that is created by the box and its warp?
That you and
many others have never heard about ECHN for the past 25 years simply
attests to the
overwhelming control that the black box uses to protect its
nature-exploitive
interests. In various forms, ECHN has been around since 1965.
Concept
Nine.
Your first step out of the box
is to
become aware of what ECHN folks can
share with you.
They
are
successfully engaged in composting and recycling the box walls into
responsible thinking and relationships. That is the focus of
their teachable
hobby, degree or
livelihood. They help folks transform the destructive ways of the box
into balanced and sustainable ways of life.
Concept Ten.
Greening
the Box: the Applied Art
and
Science of ECHN
Backyard
or backcountry the environmental science and applied ecopsychology
found in
sensory
nature-reconnection activities help us transform our destructive box
walls and articulations into responsible relationships. It is an
enjoyable, drug-free yet psychiatry-deep
eco-therapy for our nature-disconnection madness.
ECHN empowers us
to master the skill of creating organic moments that
reconnect our thoughts and feelings with nature's
self-correcting and purifying powers to restore us and the environment.
The
disturbing but unadulterated truth is that today we are simply placing
short
term band-aids on our continuing environmental, social and personal
problems if our efforts to stop them do not include applying the ECHN antidote for the boxed-in
madness that is causing them.

"There
was a big high wall that tried to stop me;
A sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That land was made for you and me."
This land is your land, this land is my
land
From California,
to the New York Island
From the Redwood
Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land is part of you and me"
- Woodie Guthrie (1944)

By adding the ECHN
antidote wherever
possible, we mindfully think outside the box. We recycle and
transform the black box into an organic relationship, green circle dance of our society and nature mutually
supporting each other by dancing together.

Sub-Concept
10-1:
Why the Green Circle Dance Works
....
|
Scientifically
Transform: Think, Feel and Be Happiness.
Obviously, our advanced way of life consists of knowledge derived from
the process of scientific investigation.
As has long been predicted in the NAE Webstring Model, scientific "Higgs Boson" observations
now show that the standard universe we belong to began with a singular,
"Big Bang" attraction dance. We also know that throughout the
eons, the intelligence of this dance consciously sustained its life by
building attractive relationships.
We know the above because, in concert with everything else, we are and can experience this desire, moment
by moment, as it exists now in the present.
Nature’s conscious attraction dance for the enjoyment and the welfare
of all, makes the space and time needed to transform itself into
greater balanced and diverse relationships. We are a personification of this dance and its Big Bang origins.
Our conscious thoughts and feelings ride the dance like surfing an
exploratory wave on the leading edge of an ocean.
As attraction partnerships in the wave establish themselves, its
attraction dance transforms them into greater variety and strength. For
this reason, no two moments in nature’s wave are ever the same, impure
or unattractive. This explains why nature does not produce
garbage.
The attraction dance has neither increased nor destroyed itself over
its eons because its matter and energy are simply different forms of
each other. Being the dance, we are both, and we often call the energy
our “spirit” or “soul.”
Nature consists of the present moment’s attractive transformation dance
for the betterment of all things. We consciously dance with its NA powers (NNIAAL) found in natural areas and each other.
Our ability to create accurate natural attraction stories helps us be
mutually supportive attraction- dance partners who don’t deteriorate
nature or ourselves.
As are we, all plant, animal and mineral members of Earth consist of
attractions in nature's transformation wave. This includes our
ability to create stories. However, it is only our accurate, whole-earth stories that make us attractive and
constructive community members.
Our challenge for balance and sanity in Industrial Society is to be,
act out and share our scientifically truthful stories while eliminating our false stories
and their destructive effects. The amazing tool that helps us achieve
this goal is the sensory science of Natural Attraction Ecology and its enabling art of Educating,
Counseling and Healing With Nature.
With respect to coming into balance personally, socially and
environmentally, stories, mathematics and images are not enough. Like
safely riding an airplane to our destination, we must enter an excellent working model and let its wisdom carry us to where it makes sense for us to be.
MAKE SENSE:
If you are born in a Country, you are automatically a citizen of it.
For good citizenship, you learn to how your Country works, so you may
benefit from it while strengthening it.
If you are born on Planet Earth you are automatically a citizen of it. Have you learned the hidden PeakFacts
about how it works so you can benefit from it while strengthening
it? Aren't the facts you have learned to date destructively
stressing Earth and you?

Concept
Twelve.
EVIDENCE:
An Anonymous ECHN Participant's Course
Evaluation.
"When we
began this course, each of us came to it with different backgrounds, thoughts and expectations. We were
encouraged to explore natural areas and recycle our ways of thinking by letting nature
skillfully teach us what we needed to know.
Through
the activities we were guided
to safely discover and re-educate ourselves using our natural senses. We were encouraged to consciously
participate in our relationship with nature and each other. We provided each
other with emotional support as our journeys led us through the various emotional and
spiritual changes that were a natural evolution on our path to experiencing a wholeness
that only nature can provide.
Was this
an easy thing to do?
The answer to that question is both yes and no. It is easy in the fact that all one had to do is go to a
natural area, in my case it was as simple as a 1/4 mile walk out my back door to a
field and small lake. For others it was a park bench, potted plant or their back
yard garden. What made the activities difficult, is the realization of how
disconnected we are from nature. The fact that our society teaches us from an early age
to separate from nature's intelligence which causes our natural abilities to be
significantly reduced.
Re-connecting
with nature through the
exercises opens your eyes and lifts the veil of the "5-legged" nature-disconnected
way of thinking. This
is very uncomfortable at first I found this to be true as well...you are being confronted by the
pressing of old brain and is the toughest part of the course. The internal
struggle between seeing through the falsehoods we have been taught and the understanding
and knowing that comes when you openly accept the wisdom and love that nature provides
without prejudice. This renewal of our relationship with our environment and
ourselves is uplifting and greatly enhances our appreciation and respect for nature
and all that it offers and teaches us. The growth is evident in the answers to the
questions in the survey and the questions that identify important values
in NSTP experiences. In my own responses I see a marked difference in the before
and after.
I found
some of the questions odd in
the beginning. For example: A reduction in personal stress
and /or a reductioning mental
disturbance with regard to personal or profession problems. When
I first read that question, I
wondered how it had anything at all to do with a course on nature. My mistake was the fact
that at that point I wasn't connecting the course to nature. It was "on" nature
. Do you see the difference here? if not, rest assured once you take this course you
will understand fully. Several of the questions were puzzling in the
beginning, but that was simply due to the fact that I was indeed disconnected and unaware of
the special webstring attraction connections of the global natural community. I thought I was very
nature oriented, more so than most. What I learned is that although I knew a lot about
herbs and natural "things" I had studied, I was still unaware of the true connection
between us and nature.
The
restoration of my natural
intelligence began to surface as I went through the exercises and let
nature teach me through the
wisdom, love, intelligence and webstring attractions that are so
abundant. I began to realize
just how little I truly knew, yes I may know the names "labels" we have given to the plants but I did
not "know" them. It was only after taking the time to sit and discover their essence
through the attraction and mutual consent to explore and discover each other in a
safe and loving multi-sensory communication that I began to know them.
This
new-found connection with nature challenges my personal problems and through the
thoughtful, shared, sensory connections with the attractions I have made and continue
making, I have noticed an improvement in my thinking, relationships and
spirit. I have gained a greater wellness, self-esteem and positive energy. This course has
offset the excessive disconnection from nature that I was living. It is the
catalyst in my re-awakening. My personal relationship with life. The change in my daily
behavior and my faith in the process of life. For the first time in my 50 plus
years I am feeling connected to the true flow of life and love.
The
awakening of my inner-child was a gift from nature that although always available to me, had
been hidden by the veil of my 5-legged ways and thinking. With the guidance and
intelligence of this course my life has been greatly enriched and my ability to
interact with nature on a personal level has changed immensely.
I have
found that doing the courses activities has increased in attraction as I go through each
one. I am more intensely attracted to doing it and look forward to the next activity with
great anticipation. I learn something with every activity and the lessons are
invaluable. I value the lessons that nature teaches and find my "want" of the
material world lessons while my "want" of the natural world increases. Luckily
the "want" of the natural world doesn't cause any type of destruction or abuse as does the
"wanting" in the material world. It makes one consider how pointless and
destructive our "wanting" in the material world is and that in turn pushes the momentum of
the spiral away from that path.
The loss
of "wanting" is
empowering. The acquiring of trustable feeling, sensory support
and attractions in the
natural world are even more empowering. I am on my way to recovery and I am so thankful.
Nature has opened her arms and shown me her loving intelligence, this course has provided
me the support and guidance to accept and recognize her non-verbal awareness,
attraction and sensory webstrings.
One of
the members in my group said;
Nature is a perfect example of unconditional love in action. I hold that statement in my "trusted
space" along with the other trustable feelings I experienced during the course. We
have all added valuable truths to our trusted spaces and I am sure that we all feel
the same when I say that these truths are more valuable to us than any material item
could ever be. I would not have believed that statement prior to taking the course,
but the natural attractions are strong and true. They are trustable.
They are sensory truths. They are part of all of us. And that my friends is the
point. There is no substitute for the real thing, once you learn what the real thing is.
Allowing your consciousness to grow and awaken your own sensory truths through the
gifts that nature will send you in the form of attraction and webstrings will
profoundly affect the rest of your life and greatly enhance your life experiences.
This will bring your life into balance by having a conscious connection with your webstring
attractions in nature. Troubles of the social kind will disintegrate and you
will laugh at the ridiculous...so silly are we. And let go of the absurd. This
is freedom and it can only be found in true connection with nature.
Thank
you for sharing this journey with me, I have never enjoyed a course as
I have this one. I have also never changed so much from taking a
course. It has brought about changes in both my perception and
thinking, changes that have brought me closer to nature and to the
feelings of trust and peace in natural areas. I see evidence that
this is a common occurrence among those who take this course, and that
just adds another level of trust in the activities to lift the veil of 5 leg thinking."
"The
ECHN Natural Systems Thinking Process provides a readily accessible
....and.wonderfully effective means for students to acquire,
understand, and act upon the transforming experience of being connected
to nature; of being in respectful relationship with the natural world
of which they are a part."
J.Marc McGinnes, J.D.
Senate Lecturer
University of California at Santa Barbara

"We
dramatically increased our program's effectiveness by adding ECHN to
it. It enables our participants to connect with their sensory origins
in nature and use that peaceful power to improve their relationships
with self, society and the environment."
