Green Education: Nature-Remedy, Online Alternative and Natural Holistic Degrees Courses and Careers that include life experience and prior training, independent thinking and mentoring jobs. The Terrorist Sabotage-Suicide Destruction of Spaceship Earth
Educating, Counseling and Healing With Nature
A Nature Remedy is Available for Our Terrorist Sabotage-Suicide Destruction of Spaceship Earth "We suffer because Industrial Society
teaches us to be 'terraists' (sic) against the natural world,
around and in us. Our beliefs socialize us to sabotage 'Spaceship
Earth,' just like suicide bomber terrorists are trained to blow up
airplanes while they ride them. We learn to profit from this stupid
insanity instead of learning how to think like nature's purity, beauty
and cooperation work."

At the 1986 International Symposium "Is the Earth a Living Organism" at the University of Massachusetts, a study was presented reporting that the amount of carbon buried beneath the Earth's surface as coal and oil, was half the amount of oxygen present in the atmosphere. If all the planet's buried carbon combined with all the atmospheric oxygen, the oxygen in the air would become carbon dioxide and life could not exist, as we know it. We have long known that carbon combines with oxygen to become carbon dioxide in the atmosphere Ancient plants separated out the oxygen in our atmosphere from Carbon. The Planet, acting like an organism that was attracted to promoting the survival of life, buried the plants under mud and rock. Trapped there, the plant material became coal and oil. The oxygen remained free in the atmosphere to support respiration and life as we know it. The way that we are socialized (read brainwashed) to think, sabotages "Organism Earth." We learn to think our planet is dead. This mental disaster removes the best reason for us not to dig up and burn its long buried coal and oil. It doesn't feel right. With empathy and morality, it doesn't make sense to purposely injure a living organism, Earth, the only one of its kind. Our "dead earth" thinking is the culprit that creates excessive carbon dioxide along with global warming and with most of our other disorders. We get away with murder because dead things don't have rights to life or feel pain. Although the consequences are clear, we can't stop creating destructive relationships, even when we know it's wrong, even if we don't want to continue. We are addicted to thinking in ways that reward us to become destructively dependent on "raw materials" from our living planet. "Stupid is as stupid does" noted Forrest Gump. Isn't it stupid for us to continue to destroy the life of our life support system? We exploit all of life, including human life, to obtain resources and their rewards. They momentarily tranquilize the disturbance in our psyche caused by our mental/emotional/spiritual disconnection from the balanced life support offered by our living Mother, Earth. The disturbance of our psyche is the true source of most recent extinctions, forest depletion, pollution, abusiveness, greed, social injustice, violence, oil spills, mental disorders, ad nauseam. They will continue because we don't address their source in our "dead earth thinking," Applied Ecopsychology, an enabling remedy for distorted thinking, is readily available. To our cost, our addiction to satisfy ourselves with an unsatisfying love of money and materials generates never ending wants. It produces many problems because we don't, instead, gain satisfaction from our innate love for our Mother Earth and her lasting love for us. Indeed, such a love affair is considered illicit, fuzzy thinking, woo woo, freaky, emotional, environmentalism, even though it is our nature-inherent key to survival. We can live and grow in balance by expressing, in mutually supportive ways, our inborn affection and gratitude for our living Mother Earth. Our greatest problem is that we label our destructive addiction for money and materials as progress, as economic growth and normalcy. We don't see this freaky addiction as an unreasonable bias we hold against the way that our living planet works to balance, nurture and heal all of life, including its life and ours. Like most addictions, our money-material bonding is an irrational psychological attachment phenomenon that, like any addiction, we seldom recognize or address as such. We are addicted to ignore that, as portrayed in the film AVATAR, most of our great personal, social and environmental problems result from our unyielding, excessive attachment to harmful materials and relationships that don't fullfill us. We are in denial. We even deny the value of Natural Attraction Ecology, an Ecopsychology art and science of learning from natural areas how to think and feel like nature works in balance and beauty. We lose the lasting fullfilment this provides. The ways of Earth and nature are our natural legacy. We inherit them biologically and spiritually. However, our misguided, story-made world makes us into blivits who act as a conquering enemy of Earth and nature. Our nature-disconnected stories religiously bury in our subconscious mind, our naturally balanced thinking and feeling inheritance from earth. There, frustrated and demeaned, it simmers under pressure until some irritant releases its anger and hurt....just like a broken pipeline spurts out a pressurized, life-destructive oil spill. Both of these releases emanate from the same nature-conquering addiction disorder. It biases and distorts the way we learn to think and feel about nature. We have become delusional about how to survive in a good way. For the few of us who have developed an immunity to our detrimental hallucination about Mother Earth, the hidden source of it and an Applied Ecopsychology online program remedy for it are available in the article Increase Well-Being: Stop Our Destructive Mass Hallucinatory Fantasy.
