"In contemporary society we now have a readily available process, Natural Systems Thinking, for building environmentally responsible personal, social and global relationships. On this Earth Day you may learn to help people meet this critical need. It scientifically enables us to create moments in natural areas that let Nature, in its own voice, teach us the secret of Earth's peaceful, balanced ways and how to practice them." - Michael J. Cohen |

"Nurture your felt love for Nature. Never deny it. That love is the eons, the purifying intelligence, beauty and diversity of Nature sustaining us in its perfection. Our disconnection from this love produces our hurt, greed and destructiveness. We must reconnect and restore its peaceful voice in our thoughts, soul and surroundings."
- Michael J. Cohen
Significantly, in the past decade the often opposing physical (7), biological and social sciences have discovered a body of evidence to which they agree. In addition, this evidence also agrees with findings in ethics(10), philosophy and spirituality (9). During this same period, the fields of education and psychology produced a learning process that enables any individual to access this validated knowledge and use it to build relationships that improve self, society and the environment (3).
The evidence mentioned above authenticates what outdoor researchers like myself sense in natural areas. A fundamental, binding, energy underlies every aspect of the world we know. Be it a form of Love or the Unified Field sought in physics, sub-atomic, human, and global relationships, form, hold together, and "communicate" via a cohesive natural attraction energy (8, 6). Natural attraction connects everything into a system and subsystem, to belong, not be isolated. Thus Nature produces no garbage.
Natural attraction roots
Nature grows from its roots. The existence of a root natural attraction throughout Nature is consistent with how Nature works. It makes sense. If the world was not held together by natural attraction, it would fall apart, which it doesn't in Nature. Rather, natural systems are attracted to increase in growth, diversity, resilience and their ability to support life in a balance.
You can help people lastingly celebrate this Earth Day all year round by learning to communicate and build responsible relationships through natural attraction energy. READ: the last 800 words of the article above . They help your thinking connect with natural attraction.

We suffer because the deterioration of humanity and the environment hurts us. Unaware of the cause of our suffering we feel helpless. Research shows the cause to be our extreme sensory separation from our nurturing origins in Nature. It underlies most of our unsolvable personal, social, and global problems.
In a democracy, to reach our hopes and dreams the knowledge we discover must be accompanied by a readily available educational process. The process must enable the public to make use of the knowledge. With respect to our destructive disconnection from nature, the web page links, below, empower you to use and teach an effective rehabilitating process that will help you improve most settings and relationships.
