International
Society for April 1, 2001 Mr. Arnold Sanders Dear Mr. Sanders, We hope you are well and happy today for, sadly, we bring you some distressing news. As part of our biological study on human normalcy, for over 51 years we have been monitoring your thoughts by analyzing your actions.
The ecozombie remedy is Natureness a Climate Therapy process
that empowers you to rehabilitate yourself and others. It changes your
apathy into well-being by stopping our abuse of Nature's love for us to
live, moment-by-moment. . We war with Nature and
each other because we commuicate and grow relationships using language
while Nature's love for life, around and in us can't speak or relate
through words. It can't tell us how to make peace with it. Climate Therapy enables natural areas to talk through 54-senses that we mutually share with them. It's single, 10-minute Natureness activity lets the love, fairness and equality of authentic Nature guide and heal us as only it can. No doubt you think this
is a prank or crank letter or idea. Unfortunately, that is a typical
zombie reaction. If you believe this is a joke, be assured you are
wrong. You are a typical ecozombie. I know because I am one, too. Let
me explain to you what this means and what you may do about it if this
letter is not already in your waste basket as it was 21 years ago. I'm
only sending it again because your deficit of Nature's love has
increased 32% since then and that is breaking our world. Without Natureness, like most normally educated
individuals, you are a victim of contemporary society's conquest
of nature in the name of progress and economics. Our undeclared war against
nature has deadened you emotionally, for you and your 54-natural
senses are part of Nature's aliveness. Along with the environment, they/we have
been wounded. No matter what our leaders
say, since we are part of nature you and I must
be victims when we war against nature. How could it be otherwise?
We each suffer shell shock from the battleground that zombifies so we suffer from destorted
thinking about the natural world. Most leaders are ecozombies. They wrongly think we should not recognize ourselves as victims of our undeclared war against nature. Why deny this truth? If we don't acknowledge it, how can we learn to deal with it and its catstrophic effects? Without Natureness, your sensory deadening explains why, indirectly but knowingly, you continue to senselessly destroy people and other life forms. Why not? Everybody else does it. You see everywhere that our world is broken. Since this is "normal" you deny that it is a personal problem. However, you also know that with respect to living harmoniously with the environment, you and yours have become death that walks and talks. That, Mr. Sanders, is the definition of an ecozombie. In nature that is extremely abnormal. Please consider the facts in the paragraph below. Although every species and the truths of all nature-connected people acknowledge them, ecozombies reject and resent them so prepare yourself; this won't be comfortable. I don't mean to insult you, but as a zombie you may have already lost the ability to think rationally about the following:
As an ecozombie, you, like me,
now may have one of two discomforting reactions to the above
statement. Mr. Sanders, although you were born a natural being, without Natureness, as a member of contemporary society you have learned to live over 95% of your life indoors. You have, in addition, been taught to habitually detach your thinking from nature. We note that even when you visit a rewarding natural area your thoughts are usually about something else: a personal problem, the unfairness of your boss, how you can make more money, a new technology, a political topic, how to win a game, or some other nature-disconnected activity. Almost never is your mind fully in tune with the wonders that surround you in a natural area. Worse still, when you are not in nature, this stressful mental disconnectedness of yours increases immensely. You are 52 years old, Mr. Sanders,. We calculate that in your entire life so far your mentality, like the national average, has spent only nine hours and twenty minutes in tune with nature. That is all. Think about it. If you and I only spent nine hours of our life learning how to read and write, would we be proficient at it now? Of course not. Is it then any wonder that the way you have learned to think has strayed from the unifying, pure and peaceful way that nature works for every other thing on Earth?
With Natureness missing, as our culture extremely separates us and our thinking from nature it produces very terrible consequences. It is like aborting an infant from its mother's womb; the infant dies. Of course, your deadened mentality remains on Planet Earth in your body. However, being dead with respect to nature, it does not interact with natural systems, including those in people. Instead, idiotically, it trespasses them as would a destructive outlaw, a zombie, a bull in a china shop or a cancer that deteriorates parts of the Planet and people. Without the Natureness, remedy, society has molded our psyche to be like that of a person who has been raised in a closet. During 99.9% of our "normal" lives our mentality has been closeted from nature and taught not to be in tune with the natural environment. Like a fish removed from water, our psyche gasps to survive. We psychologically suffer from our sensory and intellectual abortion from Mother Nature. As if an arm has been torn from our body, we hurt. It traumatizes us. That trauma makes you a zombie. Our thinking is similar to
children who have been kept in closets for most of their Without Natureness, like closeted children, our
ability to think clearly disintegrates when we excessively disconnect our
psyche from its nurturing, origins in Mother Earth.
Our thinking has deteriorated to the point that we don't believe
all this destructiveness has happened to us even though we are
fully aware of our isolation and broken world. We have yet even to recognize that our great environmental and social problems are produced because we rip our mentality from Mother Earths embrace. Psychologically, we have become like babies who are not held after being born. They lose weight and eventually waste away. So has part of our mentality. Unbelieveable? Let me repeat: although overwhelming evidence shows that, with respect to nature, you think like an ecozombie, you also know you are normal. You think like the rest of us. And since the pain of your disconnection is protectively hidden from you consciousness, you neither believe or want to believe it is there. Most of us in contemporary society have become ecozombies like you, so you blend in. You do not see yourself as an ecozombie. Neither do we. However, you being a ecozombie makes perfect sense when you consider your effects, how the way you think produces environmental and social deterioration. Unfortunately zombies can't make sense of themselves or the world. Our ability to think rationally in this area has been incapacitated by our disconnection. As an ecozombie, you must reject and deny what I am saying here. That too, is "normal." Without Natureness,
we want from the loss of Mother Nature's love in our lives. When we
want, there is never enough. In replacement, we crave and
psychologically addict to things. These things can be unreasonable.
They include substance abuse and abusive interpersonal relationships,
even when we know they are nonsense, destructive, or greedy. That is
typical zombie behavior. It increases death rather than supports life
and is the mother of all wars. When our laws or reasoning don't
prevail, we conflict with each other. Nature has neither yet all
things there cooperate. Since we ecozombies can produce artificial substitutes for parts of nature we have lost, we forget that there is no known substitute for Nature, the real thing and its eons of life supportive experience. Each substitute we create falls short of nature's perfection, thus producing pollution, garbage and relationship disorders "side effects. Wildlife flees our insensitivity as do people. We feel lonely, we sense that we don't belong. Because without Natureness we are prejudiced against nature, we don't know how to turn to nature to help us recycle our polluted ways. We don't receive the purification, healing and regeneration that supports the rest of the natural world.
Similar to Gulliver, you and I have become hurt and desensitized with respect to Nature. Our society has made you into an ecozombie so you will cooperate in its extreme conquest of nature. Our society's intentions are honorable but wrong. Without Natureness, it falsely believes it must do this to you and to Nature in order to survive. Like many leaders, you probably don't recognize that it is insane to destroy our own life support systems. For example, overusing resources to go the moon and felt-sense see that our planet is alive is the ecozombie way to learn what a tree or weed could tell you through Natureness. Compassionately, our soul hides the pain of our separation from Nature from our awareness. That way we don't constantly suffer by feeling this anguish. However, this does not mean we do not contain the hurt. It is alive in our subconscious where we hide it. Recognizing the horror or how we stupidly destroy ecosystems and each other is very painful. Without Natureness, anything that even suggests further separation of our self from any kind of support pushes our buttons and brings our pain to consciousness. Calling you a zombie instead of your name triggers it. Being questioned in some way because of your fashions, lifestyle, technologies, job, education, taste, religion, music, race, speech, ideas, desires, politics, drugs or other attachments triggers the pain. Each possible rejection brings the hurt from disconnection back into consciousness to some extent. For this reason, your ecozombie life mainly consists of trying to be emotionally safe by walking the thin line that keeps you from being rejected and keeps you from rejecting others so that they won't be hurt and therefore won't reject you. That sterile way of relating, Mr. Ecozombie, is apathy; emotional death. It restricts freedom and demands pacifiers that excessively deplete our resources and destructively erode our politics, economics and spirit. Without Natureness, it becomes unbearable, depression, suicide or a shooting spree can result. Through their advertising and
dogmas, business, political, spiritual and academic leaders deliberately
We know that most products we use stupidly make further demands on the environment. That adds to our discord. It makes us further cringe into zombmission. The result is that increasingly our zombified population suffers from stress, mental and environmental disorders. We turn to our leaders for help, but because our intelligence-challenged, sentiently-disadvantaged ecozombie thinking selected them as leaders for their outstanding ecozombie achievements, our situation usually worsens. Without Natureness, we feel helpless, so we celebrate what is left of our lives by dancing on the deck of our sinking ship or becoming dependent on tranquilizers.
Mr. Sanders, there is some good news. There is hope. Nothing is perfect. This means, neither you nor I are a perfect ecozombie. Somewhere in your thinking and feeling you recognize that there may be a grain of truth in the observations I have shared here. If this is not true, why in the world would you have read this far? If I was a perfect Ecozombie, how could I have written you this letter? For entertainment? Out of curiosity? Not possible. Perfect zombies are too dead to experience them. For this reason let me offer you an important, short, two-part message. I direct it to that critically thinking, zombie-free, still alive part of you. That part of you is the one that understands why study after study shows that medicine, mental health, therapies and education work better when they are connected to nature. That part of you will find my message completely accurate and very useful. Ready? Test yourself:
2. Your intact, non-zombie,
natural self can learn Natureness in an hour. It enables your greatest trustable truth to genuinely reconnect
with nature and thereby promote personal, social and environmental
wellness. Are you too far gone to seek help by being helpful?
( ) YES..( ) NO. Natureness enables you to help yourself and others recover from our ecozombie disorders by learning how to psychologically reconnect with nature, backyard or back country. All of human and other life that has "died," lives wordlessly in natural areas, backyard or back country. Natureness lets your 54 senses there help you benefit from Nature's regenerative love to begin life I described, above, and it is just one link and one hour away. It is a missing link in the way you and I have learned to think. Mr. Sanders, of what use is it for us to have hopes and ideals if we don't have a valid process to implement them? That Natureness process is readily available. My congratulations to you for reading this far. Best Wishes C. King Helpnow P.S. Do you think that the Results of Ecozombie Thinking prove just how stupid or how smart this letter is?

Please
permit me to be blunt. Our research shows that you have become an
ecozombie. For the betterment of all, we suggest that you either
rehabilitate your thoughts and relationships or publically
declare yourself to be a misguided idiot and demand to be
institutionalized in order to protect life on Earth. 
You
either disagree with it because you are too desensitized to recognize
the sense in it, or you agree with it and are disturbed
by the abnormal amount of time and thought you spend stresfully disconnected
from nature's balanced love and happiness as it wordlessly loves to begin life, moment by moment.
Like everything else on our planet, Mr. Sanders,
people are biologically and psychologically a seamless continuum
of nature. Moment by moment we are supported physically and emotionally
by the natural world and its ecosystems. They provide fresh,
pure, food, water, air, sunshine and landscapes along with the
uplifting way and happiness that these things make us feel.
formative years. Once
discovered, they are hospitalized for decades, full of fear and
anger. They constantly must be guarded otherwise they are problems.
Many never recover, many die.
Mr.
Sanders, you, like me, became an ecozombie because you were born
into a ecozombie community. Our society is no different than
the Governing Council of an island community that consisted entirely
of non-sighted people. Citizens on that island were content and
adequate in their ways, but were born totally blind. One day,
Gulliver, a shipwrecked castaway, half-dead, washed up on the
island. Compassionately many community members nourished and
loved him to full recovery. Then he became the bane of their
existence. He demanded things unknown to them in their blindness:
windows, lights, books, television, painted colors and sunglasses.
The Council investigated and discovered the trouble. Gulliver
had organs that could see. The council, in their wisdom, solved
their and his problem. They surgically removed his eyes. He became
a zombie with respect to sight and hurt whenever he was reminded
of the loss of his eyes.
aggravate your
rejection feelings. They then sell you some product of theirs
to satisfy your discomfort. This kind of consumerism is a mainstay
of our economy. Most of these products do not promote our survival
by promoting Earth's wellness. Rather they serve to temporarily
satisfy our hurt, fears and wants. This tranquilization furthers
our zombie-like apathy to our troubles. It prevents us from getting
involved in solutions.
1. Since the extreme disconnection of our thinking
from nature causes unsolvable personal, social and global problems,
genuinely reconnecting our thinking and relationships with nature helps us solve
these problems.
