The Hidden Organic Remedy: Nature
as Higher Power
.
- Michael J. Cohen
Creating
Moments that Let Earth Teach
Learn
how to
free yourself and your friends from our central addiction to polluted thoughts, feelings and
relationships
WARRANTY: Have you ever felt better and thought more clearly just from
quiet time that you have spent in an attractive natural area? If so then you have
undeniable evidence of the recovery powers available through the contribution that this book makes.
Review: The Book and its Course
Truth
“No doubt or argument here,” says Dr. Michael J. Cohen the Organic
Psychology Program Director at Akamai University in Hawaii. “In this
moment it is self-evident that you are reading these words. If you recognize
that this is a scientific fact it will help you benefit from additional facts that are
otherwise beyond belief in my new 50th anniversary book, ‘The Hidden Organic Remedy (THOReau): Nature as Higher Power.’ "
The accuracy of the information in THOR is self-evident because its
text involves
you in collecting, strengthening and confirming its truth as a fact. This is the the science of “Validating.”
For example, right now, validate the fact that
you are reading and have read these words. Tell yourself, “I know this
is true for me because I am experiencing it. It is registering on my senses. It is a self evident fact.” This validation makes
you a step more aware that your thoughts, feelings and spirit
know that "It is true that you have read it." You’ll never have to change or deny this. Nothing short
of intense brainwashing can take the fact away from you that you have read these words .
We gain accurate knowledge through sensory experience and observation. The most basic form of this necessary truth is self-evident truth.
Self-evident means you don’t have to think about it or prove it.
It has to be true and recognizing this makes it stronger.
For example,
your natural senses of Color, Consciousness, Form, Literacy, Sight,
Attraction, Time, Place and Reason are registering these letters and words.
This makes the information I am conveying about them be self-evident.
What is significant is that this process is equally true when you spend quiet time in a natural area.
There, it beneficially produces a heightened awareness, unification and
joy from the power of nature's wisdom and life-energies, a happiness that is self-evident and healing.
To our loss, nature's special power is missing from over 99 percent of the "indoor" way we think, feel and relate in contemporary society.
This loss produces a lasting discomfort that addicts us to unreasonable reliefs accompanied by personal and social troubles that place life on
Earth at-risk.
THOR enables you to reconnect with Nature's power
at will. You can enjoy and benefit from the otherwise impossible dream of nature's perfection.
Validate
THOR
conveys my 55 years of outdoor research at Project NatureConnect by
having you experience and validate it in natural areas for yourself, backyard or backcountry. The book
successfully addresses our basic addiction problem, that of our leaders identifying
our disorders but not giving us a tool that helps us remedy them by removing their addictive source.
THOR helps you solve this problem in two ways. It identifies the addictive source, within and around you, and it provides you with the missing tools you need to deal with it.
In the Standard Universe of science, we all are and have one immense web-of-life community, Planet Earth.
In addition, we have a detrimental earthbound reality that we seldom
recognize. THOR connects you with this reality and the experience makes you dramatically aware
of it. It is an unequivocal fact that I state in THOR and warranty, one that we all
hold in common but seldom acknowledge:
“I hold this truth to be self-evident. I
have two bodies:
.
1) my literate personal body that I feed, that breathes and is writing these words and
.
2)
my non-literate body, Planet Earth, that cannot articulate, read or write. Earth and its energy is my living other body. I hold that this is true for you, too.”
Throughout
THOR I share my
experiences that continually make this Other Body truth a fact for me
and others and help you
do the same for yourself. You accomplish this by Validating
your direct sensory contacts with people while visiting authentic
natural areas,
backyard or backcounty. You choose to become aware of the unifying
truths you
find when your body mind and spirit make conscious sensory contact with
authentic nature's unifying powers, in and around you and others in a
natural area. Then they provide the vital self-evidence that we
are taught to exclude from our
lives.
Within an hour you will recognize your
"Other Body" and its healing energies. With many thanks to it, you
will
benefit from its presently omitted yet essential
support and wisdom. In addition, and with
a world of gratitude, your Other Body will benefit from you as you
strip away the
addictive distortions and disconnections that prevent each of us from enjoying and
honoring our
natural relationship with our whole living planet as our real body, including
each other. Once you learn this process, simply saying and heeding the word
"Validate" will trigger this powerful connection and its restorative ways anytime, anywhere.
As you continue, THOR identifies the point source of our disorders. It
is our addiction to inaccurate stories from the past that separate our mind, body and
spirit from our disorder-free, self-correcting Other Body/Earth. To help you deal
with this disastrous addiction, THOR provides hands-on experiences and
Validations that help you enjoy, and
teach others, how to connect with the balance of your Other Body’s
peace, purity and unifying powers.
In THOR,you discover that our Other Body contains the wellness
that Industrial Society’s undeclared war against nature has stupidly
indoctrinated us to conquer and exploit, in and around us.
Due to this
war
we have gone mad. We have lost the sanity and well-being ordinarily
sustained by Earth's balanced purity, self-correcting and restorative
energies, in and around us.
THOR helps you recover sane well-being by genuinely connecting you to its
source, your/our Other Body.
The dominance
of our nature-disconnected stories teach us to make the life
of Earth suicidal because we learn to treat it as if it is not alive.
This abnormality underlies most of the disorders we suffer.
Enablement
Each chapter’s hands-on, sensory science empowers the inherent natural genius that is both your bodies unified,
to correct our Society's addiction to disastrous
nature-disconnected stories that indoctrinate us to
think, feel and act in isolation from the wisdom of our Other Body.
This same genius has enabled nature-centered
societies to live in contact with Earth's intelligent renewing and healing
energies for thousands of years
without producing or suffering our troubles. You achieve this goal through thinking and feeling that includes self-evidence
obtained by genuinely connecting your 54 natural senses and
sensibilities with your Other Body's restorative powers in natural areas, backyard or backcountry.
Why
wouldn't you want to learn how to do this and help others do it? It strengthens your natural genius and it is
established, accredited, peer reviewed, funded and readily available.
- Participate
in this
book’s 54-sense art of validating Planet Earth as your non-literate “other body.”
- Reap
the
rewards from reversing the effects of the unbalanced ways we have been
destructively addicted to know and relate to the world and ourselves,
ways that addict us to corrupt stories that warp how we think, feel and
relate.
-
Apply this skill to
your personal life and livelihood.
-
Recognize that you can optionally obtain free
course credit, a certification, a career or a degree for mastering THOR'S
educating, counseling and healing with nature whole life application of
Ecopsychology. You can help others do the same and receive a
donation or payment for your services
Can you validate this?
There is a critical moment that may deprive you of the balanced happiness
and advantages of unifying your mind, body and spirit with your Other
Body, Earth. In that moment, you will choose to not get involved with this book and not
benefit from the free information, activities and courses that it offers. However,
if you do read it, your greatest
dreams will begin to come true as you scientifically integrate your
life with your inherent biological and spiritual love of your Other
Body Self and vice versa. This
is a process that, in conjunction with the unbalanced rewards of excessive
profiteering and domination, the leaders of our culture are addicted to
teach us to suppress. This includes the "objectivivity" of the media
and judicial system.
"My name is Chellis and I am in recovery from Western Civilization"
You, others and Earth will increasingly thrive together in the impossible dream of
respectful equilibrium as our blended energies strengthen nature-connected personal, social and environmental justice.
Your
disorders and discontents will simply be symptoms that motivate and
empower you and others to break your destructive addiction to the
misleading stories that cause them. Your Other Body's healing powers
will help you do for yourself what they best know how
to do.
From 50 years in genuine sensory contact with Nature, in and around me, my experiences
show me that:
- the past and present addictive omission in our "civilized"
lives' (including stories, technologies meditations, prayers,
relationships etc.) that prevents us from genuinely connecting to our
authentic Other Body is the
underlying cause of great problems that we produce.
- genuinely connecting to our Other Body Self is the organic remedy for
this addiction and its ill effects.
- this remedy can be added to most
forms of psychology, healing, psychiatry,
therapies, meditations, science, education and other disciplines. THOR includes a
warranty to this
effect.
In
metaphor, if you are sailing alone in deep water and get separated from your sailboat,
the well-being
of the boat and yourself is at risk. Similarly, our artificial world
addictivly and excessively separates us from our Other Body/Earth, "boat." On average,
over 99.9 percent of our lifetime is spent thinking, feeling and being rewarded while
disconnected from our Other Body Self, disconnected from the
self-evidence that our Other Body is attracted to bring into our consciousness.
No
surprise, reconnecting
ourselves with our "Earth boat" has produced the health and happiness
of supportive
personal and global interactions as
we together learn to think and relate like nature's perfection works.
Our stories have fractured the world and our mind, body and
spirit. As fractions, we must discover and use our common denominator
to solve this problem. THOR identifies this denominator and teaches us
how to apply it to our lives.
The Critical Question
How
or what would you
think, feel or be if Earth was taken away from you, that it was no
longer your other body? When a person considers this question they
often say something like: "Loss, Unloved, Stupid,
Anguish, Tense, Unfulfilled, Isolated,
Injured, Depressed or Wanting." Subconsciously burying or
directly experiencing these self-evident feelings produces excessive
stress or anxiety and its
related disorders. The reason that we too often suffer them is because over
99 percent of our lifetime is rewardingly addicted to artificial disconnections from the way Earth/Nature, our Other Body works. In this sense our excessively nature-disconnected lives are a stressful out-of-body experience.
We are economically and socially rewarded for our lives to be
injuriously estranged from
the cooperative and healing ways that Earth and Nature operate in balance, in and
around us. The
rewards make us psychologically dependent on and addicted to Industrial
Society's
profitable but catastrophic separation of
our body, mind and spirit from our other body, Earth. By helping us tap
into the powers of nature,THOR enables us to reverse this disastrous
addiction by registering and reacting to sorely needed self-evidence.
- Discover the justified
happiness of your life in balance.
- Walk in the regenerative power of
Nature's purifying renewal energies.
- Embrace and
apply natural sensory connectedness.
- Know and enjoy Earth as your living other
body and its wellness
Information alone seldom produces change for the
better due to our addiction to old, inaccurate information. It requires, in addition, a strong motivational energy, a love, spark or
spirit to fulfill our wanting senses and create
reasonable change and its benefits that break the addiction.
WARRANTY: The Hidden Organic Remedy: Nature
as Higher Power (THOReau) enables you to beautifully blend your
passion for
a happy, balanced life with gentle, self-evident truths arising from wonderful
first-hand experiences in natural
areas, backyard or backcountry. The details are clear. For this reason the sensory expertise
in Dr. Cohen's new book and free online course
helps us increase personal, social and environmental well-being.
Planet Earth is our whole body. Anything else is usually a form of disconnective madness that is killing people
and places and that needs Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN) treatment.
THOR reasonably helps
you explore “Spirit” and
“Nature” as identical labels for the life-dance of the natural world
and its corrective energies over the eons. The Dance offers powerful assistance when
we seek it. The book's activities give you access to this assistance. Discover how we place the world and ourselves at
risk because via corrupt information we excessively detach our existence from the
purifying and restorative ways of nature's Dance, along with how to reattach to them.
“I
believe that the universe is one being, all its parts are different
expressions of the same energy, and they are all in communication with
each other, therefore parts of one organic whole. … The whole is in all
its parts so beautiful, and is felt by me so intensely in earnest, that
I am compelled to love it and to think of it as divine.”
- Robinson Jeffers
"Nothing
in all Nature is more certain than the fact that no single thing or
event can stand alone. It is attached to all that has gone before it,
and it will remain attached to all that will follow it. It was born of
some cause, and so it must be followed by some effect in an endless
chain."
- Julian P. Johnson
- "The Dance" is the balanced and beautiful non-literate eons of our Other Body, Earth/Nature.
- "Human" is our literate Earth/Nature selves as part of the Dance.
- Mr. Brandon Flowers, sir, we are born Dancer and whenever the literate stories and acts of our body, mind and spirit support Nature, we are Dancer again.
- Michael J. Cohen
The
absence of
nature's love in Industrial Society makes many of us suffer
relationships
and illnesses that demand more than standard recovery
or medical practices. This includes individuals in therapy, treatment or 12 step
rehab
programs who seek higher power as part of
Alcoholics-Overeaters-Narcotics Anonymous or Al Anonon addiction meetings. (The
reason we suffer is because we are THOR losers <grin>.)
What is usually
missing in our lives and literature is the hidden but critical how to do it remedy
for our loss of Earth's wisdom and loving support of us. THOR replaces this deficit in a good way. Its
hands-on means for us to benefit from nature's unadulterated balance
and
happiness is guaranteed real, stronger and more trustable
than the Rock of Gibralter.
The unifying natural sensations, feelings and information THOR elicits
are
authentic facts of life that most psychologically injured leaders indoctrinate us (and have been indoctrinated) to ignore.
Greedy and bewildered (wilderness
separated), our conflicted authorities misguide us so we produce
problems
that we
can’t solve while they addictively reward themselves with runaway profits from selling us questionable
solutions. THOR provides a no nonsense remedy for this
corruption. It is a free organic
tool and expertise that enables us to permanently transform our
discontents into sensible relationships as we
add the healing ways of nature’s recycling and recovery powers to the
injured parts of our personal
and
professional
life. THOR suggests it is self-evident that 13.5 billion
years ago the Big Bang was the Universe loving itself into being, then,
now and tomorrow. Each of us are biologically unique personifications
of the singular Big Bang process.
The
wonderful advantage of the
scientific process that has identified the Standard Universe is that it
enables our body, mind and spirit to live in and think with a
reasonable, defined wholeness, not a misleading story or fantasy about
our Planet. We can choose to think in whole life ways because, like one
and
zero being the basis of mathematics, we have identified the start and
unbroken eons of our attraction-based Universe to this moment in time
on Earth.
Too often we learn to
forget
that Nature is creation’s living universe intelligence of the eons. Intelligently:
 |
.
|
- It produces optimums
of life, diversity, peace and cooperation in and around us.
- It organizes,
corrects and heals all members of the web of life, including us.
- It peacefully accomplishes its perfections without producing garbage or
pollution in the environment or in our body, mind and spirit. |
We suffer because our lives are extremely separated from the renewing
ways of the natural world's affection for us as part of it. We spend,
on average, less
than 12
hours of
our 55,000 hour lifetime thinking and feeling in tune with the way Nature works.
THOR gives us the missing
sensory recovery process that we need
to
think, feel and build relationships while the purity of nature’s
balance and beauty
guide and embrace us. Its sensory art of
thinking and feeling with the natural world enables you to:
 |
- Compost the corruption undermining your relationships.
- Recycle and transform the garbage that unfair profiteering dumps in your body, mind
and spirit.
|
 |
- Stop the runaway exploitation of yourself, others
and the environment, instead discover and enjoy your common ground with
them.
|
 |
- Become a healer. Use your distress and outrage to transform our stupidity and madness into supportive
community.
|
|
- Genuinely immerse yourself in the wisdom of the eons to
produce optimums of life, diversity, peace and cooperation in and
around us.
|
 |
- Produce beneficial rather than
detrimental side effects.
- Learn and teach others how to build relationships rooted in
authentic nature’s love and brilliance.

An Ecologically Sound Remedy for Addiction
In our excessively nature-disconnected society most everyone is
destructively addicted to something that relieves their pain from being
disconnected from Nature (Earth/Nature, their Other Body).
Dealing with the pain: The Project NatureConnect remedy for this addiction is a special activity in which a person consciously holds their breath to disconnect from their Other Body to
explore and experience the results, including the pain. Soon the pain
of the disconnection, an alarm call from our Other Body and its
life-in-balance eons (our sense of hunger for air #21), attracts/drives/motivates the individual to take
a few deep Earth-reconnecting breaths. It becomes self-evident to them
that they are rewarded by the good feelings of their biological and spiritual reconnection with
their Other Body. They recognize, too, that this attractive joy can
more sensibly and happily replace the questionable rewards they otherwise seek from
their addiction because the connection is reasonable (#42),
it does not have destructive or hurtful side effects. In addition, this
happiness is strengthened by the social and ecological support (#34)
the individual receives for peacefully improving their lives and their
Other Body, Earth’s web-of-life including humanity. (THOR
includes and connects you to an additional 160 motivating Other Body
activities that energize the wisdom of our 53 additional natural
attraction senses- sensitivities-sensibilities. Doing the activities is
far more sensible and comfortable than the personal and global consequences of not doing them ).
The above Webstring activity with natural attraction sense #21
(appetite or hunger for air, water, food) can be effectively done
anywhere at any time by the powerful, rich and famous to the poor, sick
and homeless. Part of it is already included in most healing and
meditative rituals. However, to our loss, what is missing in them is
the Web-of-Life Model, Other Body
explanation as to what and why the activity works: the whole-life
significance of attraction-based intermingling on atomic to global
level relationships, along with their rewarding, anti-addiction contributions to
personal, social and environmental well being. Instead the
inhaling activity is often used to make the individual or group healthier and
stronger, to help them increase their resilience and more adequately
comply with and be rewarded by the destructive dogma of industrial society and its ill effects on our Other Body/Earth that we hold in common.
This phenomemon, above, is also true for most beneficial sciences, arts
and disciplines that we learn and practice in our excessively
nature-disconnected society. It explains why we can successfully
identify problems, but due to each individual's, along with our
collective, addicted separation from nature's healing, unifying and
restorative powers, we can't or won't solve these problems.
