MESA SITE SYNOPSIS
Be'wil'dered: 1. to have strayed from wilderness
"He drowned because he drilled a hole in the floor of the boat and as water gushed in, he brilliantly drilled more holes to drain it."
- Morey AmsterdamMost people are deluded. They believe that because our thinking can define "balance," it means our thinking can produce balance. Consider this: the way we have learned to think has thrown the world out of balance. Isn't it time to think again?
Our destructive personal and environmental imbalances produce war, abusiveness and mental disorder. Although we despise them, they don't readily change for, subconsciously, we have psychologically bonded to the things that produce these
horrors. Our imbalances are actually psychological addictions that we neither recognize nor treat as such. Without receiving environmentally appropriate psychological treatment, we and consequently Earth, remain unbalanced.
The good news is that our addiction to imbalance responds to proper treatment. The bad news is that, like any addict, we deny we are addicted and refuse to treat imbalance as such. Chances are your psyche is caught in this cultural dilemma and you don't know it.
Considering that Earth and its people are at risk, anybody who is not doing all they can do to alleviate the situation is part of the problem. Due to our addictions, most of us are not doing all we can easily do.
"Nature and I are two."
-Woody AllenIf he's serious, Mr. Allen's indoor life has obviously distorted his thinking. Biologically and psychologically we are part of nature and nature is part of us. However, along with Mr. Allen, we live in extreme separation from nature. This hurtfully severs us from the psychologically fulfilling way the natural world works in balance.
Our severance from balanced fulfillment produces addictive cravings that we must gratify, no matter their ruinous effects. They color our thinking to the point that we negate we can dissolve them by using a newly researched sensory Process that psychologically reconnects us to nature.
Sadly, most people who have the opportunity to impliment and teach this Process do not do so. This is typical of addicts.
"The Lord helps those who help themselves," applies to reversing our disorders. Without including a sorely needed addiction treatment process, we meditate, pray, educate, legalize, compromise, negotiate, politicize, preach, celebrate, spirit, war, theorize, dance, sing, march, confront, argue, purchase, vote, philosophize and take action to produce life in peace and balance. However, as exemplified by America's inability to convert to the Metric System, information, discussion, laws and preaching alone do not reverse psychological addiction.
Today, Earth and its people are more at risk than ever. Even Jesus was unable to reverse our aberration. Why? Because our society has addicted itself to thinking in literate ways that are estranged from the preliterate wisdom by which Mother Earth achieves her balance and beauty within and around us.
You might want to read the last sentence again. Most people have lost the ability to register, understand and act upon it. This is not surprising for, on average, we spend less than .000022% of our life in conscious sensory contact with the natural world. It has dropped out of our thinking. We have become so bewildered that we try to resolve our problems by using the same nature disconnected thinking that produces them.
"Religiously drinking a Dry Martini every morning is not a good way to cure alcholism."
- David BrowerMESA has established a thoughtful
political and social force. It psychologically enables any leader or lay person to tangibly plug their thinking into the consensus based wisdom, balance and beauty of how nature works. This has dramatically helped people think and relate in balance.
People who sponsor MESA are not guessing. They have had decades of experience using, teaching and validating a Natural Systems Thinking Process and its personal and global benefits. Via the internet, this hands-on website singularly teaches anybody how to scientifically create moments that let Earth teach us what we need to know. Anybody can use the Process once they overcome their psychological addictions long enough to recognize this: it is reasonable to learn how psychologically reconnect with Earth and think like nature works.
If this makes sense to you, I invite you to Select here to visit the website.

PROJECT NATURECONNECT
The Natural Systems Thinking Process
...
To think that we can resolve our dilemmas by using the same nature disconnected process that produced them is a form of mind pollution. We need to reconnect with nature and let its purity recycle our contaminated mentality.
The Natural Systems Thinking Process helps you genuinely reconnect to nature.NOTE: The best way to learn the Process is to engage in it through our short, online Orientation Course. You may then intern and later teach the course if you choose.
To benefit from more experience
with the topics on this page, read and do the activities in Reconnecting With Nature
