Human Nature, Nurture and
Peace:
how to recover and sustain consciousness
and spirt that produces responsible, personal social and environmental
relationships.
"Nurture
your felt love for nature; never deny it. It is an important
but ofen ignored vestige of our inherent, ancient bonds with
nature.
Our love for nature has greatly deteriorated
as we have learned to destroy the natural systems within and
around us. However, what remains of that love still consciously
connects our thinking with nature's unifying essence. Restoring
its fullness by reconnecting it to its origins in Nature enables
us to help nature organize, preserve and regenerate balanced
relationships within and around us."
...........-
Michael J. Cohen
"This is how a human being can
change: there's a worm addicted to eating grape leaves. Suddenly,
he wakes up, call it grace, whatever, something wakes him, and
he's no longer a worm. He's the entire vineyard, and the orchard
too, the fruit, the trunks, a growing wisdom and joy that doesn't
need to devour."
...........-
Jedaluddin Rumi , 1207-1273

THE NATURE-NURTURE EXPERIENCE
Are you a "normal" person?
If so, like a vast majority of people you have had at least
one good experience in Nature. Can you take a moment to think
back on that occasion?
Can you remember where you were at the time?
Do you remember obtaining pleasure there from attractive:
- colors, forms, or motions?
- temperature, sounds, or scents?
- relationships, belonging or community?
- trust, compassion or spirit?
- a feeling of wholeness?
Would you repeat the experience if you could?
With respect to your good experience in Nature your personal
answers to the questions below are critically significant:
Were you taught to have your good nature connected experience
in a class? from a book? by an authority on it? Or was it your
natural sensory attraction connections to the natural area that
provided most of the rewards and value?
Most people signify that the essence of
their experience came from innate natural sensory attractions.
Do you recognize from your nature-nurture experience that
there are intact, inborn parts of you that inherently have the
ability to register and retain attractive sensory contacts with
nature?
Most people validate that this is true.
* * *
Many people find that even just thinking about their nature
experience helps them feel more attractive. They say that they
feel some of the following: more peaceful, relaxed, worthwhile,
happier; centered, hopeful, or together. Has this happened for
you, too?
There is a momentous social, professional and personal benefit
if you scientifically increase your ability to help yourself
and others further enjoy good experiences in nature.

"We cannot win this battle to save
species and environments without forging an emotional bond between
ourselves and nature as well - for we will not fight to save
what we do not love."
...........--
Stephen Jay Gould
"We have repressed far more than our
sexuality: our very organic nature is now unconscious to most
of us, most of the time, and we have become shrunken into two
dimensional social or cultural beings, aware of only five of
the hundreds of senses that link us to the rich biological nature
that underlies and nourishes these more symbolic and recent aspects
of ourselves. "
...........- Norman 0. Brown
