Our
Challenge for Sustainable Well-Being
Organic
Psychology helps us
reverse our tropicmaking disorders by giving us the tools to help
natural systems and their fulfilling benefits once again flow through
and register in our psyche. It is a process that enables us to preempt
or bypass the false and destructive aspects of our socialization and
our learned prejudice
against nature.
It empowers us to directly
reconnect our disconnected and wounded thoughts and
feelings with
the essence of our
origins in natural systems and their healing ways. This re-connection
gives us the ability to:
Override
or transform
hurtful nature-disconnecting ways
and childhood distortions that we learn in industrial society.
Become
more intelligent as
we benefit from
first-hand contact with the truth and regenerative powers of natural
systems and the eons.
Build
relationships based on
immediate trustable
attractions to natural systems in and around us that we hold in common,
rather than to
stories that divide us.
Increase
personal and
environmental well-being by
thinking and feeling with nature rather than against it.
The
core of our troubles is
that, since Aristotle
and before, our most powerful leaders, thinkers and teachers have been
rewarded while they are/were victims of our culture's nature-conquering
ways. As
a result, while we are infants, our leaders prejudicially bond us to
the same
disconnecting half-truth labels and stories that they have been
conditioned to believe. As if brainwashed, we emotionally attach to a
way of thinking and relating that restricts, distorts and demeans
natural systems. It estranges us from them and the flow of their
beneficial pulse.
Out
of habit, our ingrained
life science story
rejects the supportive attraction flow of natural systems in our
psyche. Our
biased thinking stops that beneficial
flow.
The
deteriorating state of
natural systems
suggests that we learn to fight a prejudiced undeclared war against
them. How else can we explain that at the same time that the biosphere
and its natural systems were discovered 75 years ago, so were Scotch
tape, the jet engine, the EEG, the condom and Monopoly? Why, other than
prejudice, have the latter thrived while the health of natural systems
has dangerously declined.
Don't
we suffer because we
conquer and exploit,
rather than think, feel and relate in support of natural attractions
and
their gifts for well-being? Have we not become ecozombies or
"bucket heads" to a
greater or lesser extent?
Organic
Psychology gives us
a trustworthy antidote and preventative
for
our nature-disconnection problem. We can use its activities to make
thoughtful sensory contact with the transformative powers of natural
attractions and experience an elation and wisdom that our socialized
thinking ordinarily omits. We can add this process to our personal and
professional lives. Its benefits
speak for themselves.

right to make the
responsibility for living on good terms with Gaia a personal one."

John
Dewey noted, "We only
begin to think when
confronted by a problem." Confront yourself. Confront our leaders. Most
of them have learned to become ecozombies. If they don't correct their
biosphere and natural attraction lies and support nature-connected
learning and healing, refuse
to support them until they do. If you don't confront them, who will
make them think further? We must stop supporting leaders who
don't know what to do about an essence of our problems.
Educating,
counseling and healing with nature helps you remedy this situation.

Consider
the two significant 20th century observations that, among
many others, help us improve our personal and global wellness.
.
"Human
behavior is rooted
most deeply in nature's
intentions and desire. The rhythms of nature underlie all of human
interaction: religious traditions, economic systems, cultural and
political organization. When these human forms betray the natural
psychic pulse, people and societies get sick, nature is exploited and
entire species are threatened."
-Stephen Aizenstat

"Scientific
research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is
determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the action
of people."

Industrial
society's greatest problem is that its logic often teaches us to betray
the natural psychic pulse, the pulsating natural
attraction
wave and flow of our
life-spirit.
Educating,
counseling and healing with nature helps you remedy this problem.
We
are
born as part of nature's perfection and integrity. But, as previously
mentioned, we learn to spend over 98% of our lives and thinking
separated from nature's ongoing support of our mind, psyche and spirit.
That support is readily available in natural areas, backyard or
backcountry, whenever we use Organic Psychology sensory tools to help
us
access it.
We
suffer our dysfunctions because our immediate material and economic
rewards habituate us to a cultural and spiritual bias against nature
and the natural.
Today
we are additionally stressed by our uncontrolled
stupidity. We exploit and conquer natural systems while fully aware
that they are key to our survival and to our recovery
from disorders.
This way of thinking and acting is nonsense. Fortunately, the antidote
for it, Educating
Counseling and Healing With Nature, is readily
available and is
important enough to be
subsidized. Anyone can learn and use it
