Institute of Global Education Special NGO Consultant United Nations Social and Economic Council Project NatureConnect   ..For immediate release:     THE EARTH DAY 2002-2003 PETITION FOR PEACE ON EARTH THROUGH PEACE WITH EARTH A petition to employ a process that educationally enables people to dissolve the roots of terrorism and establish peace on Earth through peace with Earth.   Until mankind can extend the circle of his compassion to include all living things, he will never, himself, know peace." - Albert Schweitzer, Nobel Peace Prize, l950   Like a pacing, caged, animal in a zoo, when you separate any organism from its natural environment, it acts abnormally because it loses contact with its balancing survival origins in earth. However, it often returns to normal when it returns to its natural home. Our thinking is our destiny and most of our great troubles result from the estrangement of our thinking from its origins in nature. Truly nature-connected people seldom display our problems or cause them, nor are these problems found in natural systems. "In the woods we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life--no disgrace, no calamity (leaving me my eyes), which nature cannot repair." - Ralph Waldo Emerson   A readily available sensory science, the Natural Systems Thinking Process (NSTP) (1) enables any caring person to genuinely reconnect their thinking to earth's unifying intelligence and spirit. NSTP is a nature connected way of knowing and being that helps people produce wellness by building responsible personal, social and environmental relationships. The document below petions leaders in all fields to help people use and teach this extraordinary means to fulfill our fondest ideals, hopes and dreams.       The Peace With Earth Petition Whereas: 1. In a democracy, to reach our greatest hopes and dreams, each responsible idea needs an educational process that empowers individuals and groups to implement that idea. 2. The unifying process and essence in natural systems within and around us contains regenerative powers that intelligently sustain earth's peace, balance and purity (2), 3. With respect to nature's perfection, no substitute has been found for the real thing. 4. Biologically, psychologically and spiritually people are part of earth and vice versa. Parts of most natural systems flow through us continually. 5. Because we do not know how to deal with the underlying elements of our greatest problems, many destructive personal, social, and environmental relationships, including terrorism, cause Earth and people to suffer. 6. Our underlying problem is that we deny that we have emotionally bonded to addictive ways of learning, thinking and relating, ways that conquer natural systems within and around us. Since a major part of us is part of nature, as we addictively hurt nature, we addictively hurt a major part of ourselves and each other . 7. Psychological addictions demand psychological solutions. We don't use the latter because we deny our addiction. We call in normal or progress or economic growth. 8. We learn to spend, on average, over 95% of our time indoors; in addition over 99.9% of our thinking is disconnected from direct sensory contact with the intelligent, regenerative, powers of earth. When respected they peacefully sustain all of life and Earth in an intelligent, fair, balance. 9. To help reverse our troubles, any individual or group in any country may choose to engage in a readily available, nature reconnecting, process of thinking and relating. The Process enables our psyche and spirit to rewardingly tap into nature's regenerative energies and thereby help us replace our destructive bonds with constructive relationships. 10. There is a unique Global Peace and Wellness Activity (3) that anybody can learn, do and teach. It helps each of us thoughtfully engage in a unifying person-planet process that enables us to enjoy the rewards of responsible relationships. Therefore: Because we seldom begin to think unless we are confronted by a problem, we petition leaders and individuals in all fields to either: A. learn to use and teach the Global Peace and Wellness Activity and add it to each effort that they make to help build responsible personal, social and evironmental relationships. or B. explain to the public why, to our cost, the leader chooses to disregard this valuable activity and its effective Process.
