Whole Life questions for our Literate Body about its relationship with our Non-Literate Other Body/Planet Earth
ANSWERS FROM MICHAEL J COHEN, Ph.D., Founder and Director of Project NatureConnect ECHN courses and programs since 1965.
1. What is the most accurate and trustable form of information? Why?
Answer: Personal experience because it registers directly on one or more of our 54 natural senses.
2. What is the greatest truth in your life that you can trust? (Clue: the answer is not God, love, honesty or nature.)
Answer: Information and things we experience/register in the immediate moment for that is the only time our natural senses operate.
3. What is the key factor that makes humanity different or separate from nature?
Answer: Humanity can operate and relate using inaccurate or nature-disconnecting stories.
4. How and why doesn't nature produce any garbage or toxic waste?
Answer: Nature
is attraction based. All things in the natural world are attractive and
belong moment after moment so no garbage is produced.
5. How can you/we be sure that Planet Earth is our Other Body?
Answer: Our
"story body" can ask our "other body" to disconnect from Earth by not
breathing. If the feeling that follows attracts us to re-connect with
Earth by breathing again, it signals that our other body is part of
Planet Earth.
Go to a natural area and find examples there of the two most attractive of the five answers above.
6. What is the point source of contemporary society's environmentally and socially destructive ways?
Answer: The senses of Reason and Consciousness becoming attached to nature inaccurate or nature-disconnecting stories
7. How do we know if Nature and Earth are intelligent?
Answer: It is intelligent to find life attractive and support it and that is what they do.
8. What is the difference between a fact, a thought and a feeling?
Answer: A
fact is a story that is reasonable and when actualized it does what it
says it would do. A thought is a story or feeling, true or
untrue. A feeling is a sensation that tries to motivate or modify
behavior.
9. What produces the wanting void in our psyche, the discomfort, greed,
and loneliness that fuels most human and environmental disorders?
Answer: Disconnection from fulfillments in nature.
10. Why do we deny that we are addicted to stories, technologies and
relationships that separate us from nature's balanced ways and
restorative powers?
Answer: Disconnecting
from our own life support system is so stupid that our intelligence
denies that it has done this and that prevents us from experiencing the
pain of our shame.
Go to a natural area and find examples there of the two most attractive of the five answers above.
11. If we learn to be who we are, what factor in modern education teaches us to produce today's unsolvable problems?
Answer: Being rewarded for and attached/addicted/bonded to thinking and living out nature-disconnecting stories.

some way. We are part of the global life system and vice versa; how
does it communicate with us and we with it?
Answer: Through 54 natural attraction senses and sensations
13. What is the essence that makes nature’s perfection work?
Answer: Natural attraction, Love, Life, Unified Field, Big Bang

Answer: We

natural areas rewardingly signal that we are in a mutually beneficial
relationship with attractions there.
20. Why do we continue to assault nature and people when it doesn't make sense and we don't like doing it or its effects?
Answer: We
have lost webstring contact with parts of nature and people so we
insensitively trespass them for fulfillments to replace this loss

Answer: Only when they are helping society make webstring contact with nature to become more sane.

attraction manifesting itself as the Universe. For this reason, if any
one thing is alive in a moment, all things are also alive. Any moment
that a person knows they are alive means Earth and the Universe are
alive including the Unified Field.
-When we
match ourselves to Organism Earth, we find there is nothing that we do
that it does not do except speak through word/stories (abstracts).

Answer: All of it with the exception of our inaccurate or nature-disconnecting stories

Answer: They all are symptoms or functions of our inaccurate or nature-disconnecting stories
Go to a natural area and find examples there of the two most attractive of the five answers above.
31. What makes Natural Attraction Ecology be a pure and whole, rather than limited, objective science?
Answer: Its essence is its attraction to accepting 54 natural attraction sensations as being facts that are as real as material facts.

Answer: We live in, not on, Planet Earth, under its atmosphere and flying life and in its biosphere.

34. How do we know if Nature is alive? (Same as 28)
Answer:
-In

one thing is alive in a moment, all things are also alive. Any moment
that a person knows they are alive means Nature and the Universe are
alive including the Unified Field.
-When we
match ourselves to Nature, we find there is nothing that we do
that it does not do except speak through words.
35. What is natural homeostasis in nature and how does it work?
Answer: Homeostasis
is all things being in diversity and balance to most adequately support
life in ways that all things belong. It is a compromise between

our cultural stories and dollar bills produce self-correcting
diversity, cooperation, balance, purity and beauty, like nature works?

the Unified Field.
Go to a natural area and find examples there of the two most attractive of the five answers above.
56. Do our unsolvable problems result from the difference between how we think and how the nature's Unified Field works?

scientific falsehoods about nature
57. In nature, why don’t two plus two equal four?

Field attractions are constantly changing as it grows more attractive
time and space aliveness moment by moment, so "1" is never the same. One is the Unified Field that

Answer: Sensory
"subjectivity" is Nature always changing so it does not offer lasting
standard conditions of pressure, temperature, motion, energy,
attraction, intent, space, motivation or time that Science needs to
measure it as a singularity. This omission deprives objective Science and
Technology of the means to come into balance. It is remedied by
scientific methodology including 54 natural attraction sensations in
natural areas as facts of life that are part of any equation or
decision. Then objective science becomes, or is also, whole life science.

"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 dnature-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 share with natural systems and their eons of experience. Our
subconscious hurt and frustration from the severed disconnection of
these senses underlies our greatest troubles.
