by learning to think and co-create organically with natural systems
within and about you.
Take a giant
step for reversing destructive natural system dysfunctions in our psyche and the prolific suffering
they cause people and the environment. Enable yourself to make
a difference in increasing the well-being of industrial society.
Take advantage of free personal
or professional holistic health education and job, internship,
career, funding and discounts that support the well being of
all of life.
Background Synopsis
Our society's limited ways
of thinking result in needless social and environmental disorders
that unnecessarily produce our suffering. Learn how to help overcome the exploitative cultural
forces that, motivated by profit alone, reduce our ability to
make happier
social and environmental choices.
Natural systems intelligently
self-organize and correct themselves to support, modify and purify
each other. They do this in regenerative ways that leave nothing
out; everything belongs. They balance and enhance life, health
and spirit. With few exceptions, we are natural systems. We have
this ability. To increase our personal and environmental well-being
we need to nurture and apply it.
To your benefit,
Friends
of Natural Systems gives you, free, an organic sensory tool that
you may use and teach. The tool enables you to help connect our
polluted industrial thinking and feeling with the grace, balance
and restorative powers of natural systems in people and places.
(Financial contributions to grant programs are welcome but not
required. The grants, to the benefit of all, give members greater
expertise in the use of these tools }

3. Understandings of Member
Participants
1. I am familiar
with the Overview Links A-E (above).
2. I understand
that the purpose of Friends of Natural Systems (Friends)
is to increase the happiness, health and resilience of each member,
and other individuals, by increasing the well being of natural
systems within and around us.
3. I understand
the object of Friends is to use and teach natural attraction
ways of thinking and relating that support natural systems in
the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms, including humanity.
4. As a member
or participant I agree to help myself and others "walk the
talk" and meet the purpose and object of Friends
of Natural Systems.
5. I understand
that, as described in Walk
The Talk,
many natural systems innately register in our consciousness as
senses or feelings that heighten our thinking, intelligence and
survival potential. I recognize that our nature-conquering lifestyles
often drive these senses into our subconscious and that this
loss restricts our thinking from making greater sense of life
and our lives.
6. I will post
and respond to the mailing-communication list in attractive ways
that strengthen natural attractions I find there and that I find
in other people, places and relationships.
7. I have learned
that natural systems are attraction based and that negatives
are seldom attractive. I recognize that negatives and their discomforts
are nature's way of saying, "Seek and relate to more fulfilliing
natural attractions now."
8. To further
support natural systems, I will help people in Friends improve
our relationships by increasing our ability to build them with
natural attractions that we share.
9. I will increasingly
learn, and help others learn, about and join Friends to further
establish a global consciousness that includes the intelligent
natural system energies of the plant, animal and mineral kingdoms.
10. In order
to keep the list from being repetitive, I will include in
my email the specific sentences or paragraphs I may be responding
to, and will delete all other previously-posted material.
