One Step at a Time
In April,
1998, the noted futurist, .Robert Theobald, wrote to Dr. Michael
Cohen:
"Let's think of the next hundred
years as "The Healing Century" and live with honesty,
responsibility, humility, love and a respect for mystery. I see
part of The Healing century as being in the ecology area. Are
you making a more specific.suggestion which I'm not understanding?"
TO: Robert Theobald
Dear Robert,
Thanks for your letter and interest in my work.
Yes, what I'm suggesting is that the web of life, although
subconscious to us, is already a globally intact, intercultural
and interspecies, self-governing network that knows how to organize,
preserve and regenerate itself in balance. It produces an optimum
of life, diversity, cooperation and beauty without producing
garbage, pollution or abusiveness, and with minimal violence
and stress. We are genetically and psychologically part of that
intelligent, peaceful web, our intellectual separation from its
ways within and around us leads to our most pressing problems.
Why not engage in a proven process that enables our mentality
to consciously tap into the web and reap the rewards thereof.
The process is available, awareness of it is not.
Owls and Howls,
Mike Cohen
TO: Mike Cohen
I fully agree with your position.
Robert Theobald
Although our minds and media are filled with lofty, often
conflicting, ideas about what responsible personal and global
life should and could be, rarely do we find a distinct process
we can use that effectively enables us to reach these important
goals. We can not consciously think effectively when the data
we need is subconscious and therefore unavailable. That road
leads to today's destructive conflicts, dismay and abusiveness.
There is another choice. By consciously, tangibly reconnecting
with nature's intelligent ways, we can reach our highest personal
and environmental goals simply by taking one responsible step
after another. Engaging in a responsible process assures responsible
outcomes. The activities, interactive trails and articles on
this web site will help you discover that nature connected path
for yourself and those you love.
"The power of the natural world
to heal the individual was very well demonstrated by the exercises.
On a more experiential level, they just made me feel wonderful,
in a way that nothing else ever has."

Too often we suffer and feel helpless
because the deterioration of humanity and the environment hurts
us and we are unaware of its cause.
Research demonstrates that the stress arising from our
extreme sensory separation from our nurturing origins in Nature
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 that motivates and enables
the public to apply 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.
