Some do seek permission from nature to make an indoor shelter for themselves, I recall speaking to one of my research participants, and when he went to build his house, he asked the land and the beings that thrived in the area where he has built his home, where he should put the structure, if they would allow him to move or cut down some of the trees, and stones, plants and so forth, he asked the spirits of the land first. Another of my female research participants cried and grieved as she watched trees being removed as the foundation for her home was dug into the fecund earth, yet another two grieved and prayed as they watched the politic of their neighbors cut down old growth trees to make their yards more light filled. I myself have grieved at the loss of a tree friend that provided such beauty and company through my window, one day arriving home to find it cut down without any notice or consent, I recall crying and praying. This connection is incredible - I never used to be able to cut anything to move or disturb - but when I learned to ask and understood how to listen sometimes things wanted to be cut back - it was a break through for me. When I build some structure at some point I will follow with such connected wisdom we have relearned through this course. In that sense I'll share an animal shelter. I believe that the green body of nature calls our built environment an intruder if we don't ask to build shelter for ourselves and gain permission first so that all among us may find harmony in where we dwell, and that we might find harmony and balance among nature of which we are a part. Nature does at times try to change it, I recall someone asking in one of my PNC classes why the avalanche would take out a whole town if nature was loving, I smiled, and suggested that perhaps the people didn't ask permission to build their town at the foot of a great mountain and that nature was attempting to regain her balance. The hurricanes, tidal waves, earthquakes and tornadoes are all ways I believe that nature is attempting to regain her ground, these are large and devastating events but there are smaller and less conspicuous ways as well. The grass growing between sidewalks, the water freezing in cracks of the road breaking it apart, tree roots growing into the foundations of homes, the germs and viruses that are gaining strength against medications, to fend us off and lessen our numbers, to weaken our forces against her, are all ways that occur in my thoughts, and I am sure that this is not a comprehensive list. I hold no quarrel with her for trying to balance what humans have thrown out of balance, she is only trying to build a nurturing environment for all of life, including mine. There is no good or bad - just equilibrium - connected balance and anything extreme on one end is to compensate for an opposing force. Building on the bottom of a great mountain - we assume control instead of observation of permission and what is ultimately best for all life. This is a mindful practice, not unlike saying grace, but to know that the spirit of love, wisdom and divinity is within each being I see. I seek for a different way to live, so that instead of always taking, I might give. I am very attracted to nature-connected thinking and feeling. It is so full of connection - of soul and balance and consciousness... ultimately shining the love and grace of the sun force, the path of the stars. Act now. Master Organic Psychology by doing it.

Alarm! Alarm! Well-being at risk Help turn the tide! www.SaneEarth.com             "Human behavior is rooted most deeply in nature's intentions and desire. The rhythms of nature underlie all of human interaction: religious traditions, economic systems, cultural and political organization. When these human forms betray the natural psychic pulse, people and societies get sick, nature is exploited and entire species are threatened." -Stephen Aizenstat   In industrial society our excessively nature-separated lives mold us to betray the natural psychic pulse. We learn to block from our thinking over 98 percent of the wise sensory callings and fulfillments we normally receive from natural systems and their eons of experience. Our subconscious hurt and frustration from the severed disconnection of these senses underlies our greatest troubles. -Michael J.
