“We are waging a suicidal war against Nature and this mental illness damages all things as it abuses our physical and emotional world. A conflict-resolution “Green Switch” must be pulled that stops this catastrophe”

      ~ Antonio Guterres, United Nation’s Secretary General

 

Let’s begin here with a forgotten yet wonderful Pristine Truth reality of Nature’s life. It enables us to grow a sane and supportive “green switch,” a mental health tool that resolves conflicts in and around us as its justice heals our broken world, society and lives. Here it is in action. Note how it’s continually trustable:

“It’s absolutely true that this instant your life exists, lives, breathes and can act while you are reading these words.”

This pristine truth statement demonstrates that, over and above all else, undeniably, you exist and live and you have probably learned to take this momentous gift for granted.

Do you appreciate that if you didn’t exist, you could not be reading these words this instant, nor could you have read the quote above, or be able to do anything else for that matter? 

The existence of Pristine truth is so accurate and powerful that it is impossible to dispute, deny, or disbelieve it.  This is because you would have to exist to do so. 

That this is simple and obvious should be noted because, although we learn to omit pristine honesty from our thoughts and relations, it can easily be reinstated in any moment.

  

To our loss, and for profit, our society unjustifiably teaches us to deny or demean Pristine Truth. We suffer accordingly as we suffer the loss of its unifying energies instead of strengthening them.

 

Through this page, the honesty of Pristine Truth meets itself as it transforms our conflicts and miseries into its trustable love for peace and well-being.

 

Without this advantage, we create and then stressfully endure our broken thinking and relations as they increase.

How to determine if Pristine Truth will help you.

Locate, below, statements that are true for you. Identify what your reasoning knows needs to be corrected in them. With joy, your life and livelihood can learn how to remedy these challenges.

(   ) Your hurt and common sense signal that the mentally ill conflicts in our Society are injuring our self-worth, world and sense of reason.  

(   ) You can plainly see that our presently limited or warped forms of Love, Nature, Gods and Honesty are tragically detrimental to the whole of life.

(   ) You recognize that our current way of life can’t correct our destructiveness because it excessively disconnects us from Nature’s self-correcting balance and beauty as it flows through us moment by moment.

(   ) You can sense that most of our great influences educate us to fight a suicidal war with nature, around and in us.

(   ) You observe that our excessive conquest of Nature’s life is what’s creating our global heating, ecological degradation, mental illness and peace problems. Along with the environment, our war with Nature wounds the essence of our body mind and spirit. 

(   ) The state of our planet and society is shattered. Making peace with Nature, around, in, and as us (our inner child), is imperative. 

(   ) We must learn to reasonably reconnect with authentic Nature. Throughout the eons, and before humanity’s destructive words and impact, as this instant, Nature’s  wordless, unifying energies sustain well-being everywhere so it produces no garbage in natural areas.

Universal Heart

Flat outstretched upon a mound
Of earth I lie; I press my ear 
Against its surface and I hear
Far off and deep, the measured sound
Of heart that beats within the ground.
And with it pounds in harmony
The swift, familiar heart in me.
They pulse as one, together swell,
Together fall; I cannot tell
My sound from earth’s, for I am part
Of rhythmic, universal heart.
.
~ Elizabeth Odell

 

THE MONUMENTAL CONTRIBUTION AND EVENTS OF PROJECT NATURECONNECT AND WEST COAST UNIVERSITY

 

This section is written with heartfelt thanks to the pioneering efforts of Professor Dr. S. Lloyd, President, West Coast University. It is also available, illustrated as a pdf download.

 

        On the first Earth Day in 1970, a groundbreaking realization struck humanity like a bolt of lightning. It became undeniably clear that our beloved planet and its precious inhabitants were facing a severe deficit in resources and entering crippling bankruptcy due to our excessiveness. The life of Mother Earth, our ever-generous provider, had been relentlessly drained by our abusiveness and its resulting insatiable wants, leaving her worn and weary..

        But this realization paled in comparison to the earth-shattering truth that was unveiled on that fateful day. Society’s deeply ingrained belief that the entire universe revolved around us humans, and that everything operated in a predictable, steady-state, mechanical manner was revealed to be nothing more than a scientific fallacy. Our egocentric human view had blinded us to this astounding reality: Nature, in all its grandeur, was a living masterpiece that loved to attractively begin and procreate itself, moment by moment. It was/is a Big Bang fertilized seed that continually created and grew its own life, space, time, balance and beauty.

 

        The core of Nature’s genius was at the helm, orchestrating the most spectacular show in existence – the Big Bang, before, then, and its continuing life now. This cosmic event, far from a random explosion, was an irresistible attraction, an awe-inspiring celebration and intent, as, since before forever, as this instant, Nature wordlessly loves to create its own time and space to fulfill its attraction to live and dance its love into being.

        With this newfound awareness, the world collectively realized the urgency of change. No longer could we ignore the warning signs of our planet’s exhaustion. The time had come to realign our actions with Nature’s intelligence, to heal the wounds we had inflicted upon our ever-giving mother and each other. 

        And so, Earth Day became more than a symbolic date on our humanity-centered calendar. It marked the beginning of a new, evidence-based, space-time chapter, a pledge to nurture and protect our global home and family. Together, we vowed to replenish the resources we had taken, to cultivate sustainable practices that honored the delicate balance of our ecosystems.

 

        Regrettably, because we ignore the misguided cause and pristine truth remedy to this crisis, our abusive relations, overconsumption and recklessness have driven us to 80% over-depletion of Earth’s life in 2022 along with our overwhelming worries. Without a pristine truth tool to help us, we have neglected our responsibility to protect the environment and our lack of concern and proper tools has resulted in massive devastation around and in us.

 

Two years before Earth Day, 1970, Project NatureConnect had already established its Expedition Education program that modified Alexander Wolf group therapy so that it included Nature as a legitimate participant in it. Its goal was to create a USA coast-to-coast travel and camping group that sought nature’s teachings and self-correcting ways.

        It would deepen our understanding of Nature’s elaborate workings and help us incorporate them into our education, counseling and relationship practices. 

        We dedicated ourselves to establishing 54-sense natural area contacts that let Nature scientifically share with us the self-evident things we needed to know to stop being excessive and reverse our suicidal conflicts and deterioration around and in us.

        Our expeditions awakened the dormant reverence within us, a reminder that we were members of this exquisite blue orb suspended in the vastness of space. We were not custodians of it like our words said. Rather, we were the only members of its web of life that could grow relationships built on words, be they true or false. False words separated us from Nature, the fountainhead of authority in how it grew its self-correcting perfection 

 

        In the years that followed our expeditions flourished through their self-developed methods and materials. Along with expanded choices, folks thrived in harmony with nature and each other, ever-mindful of our interconnectedness with space-time, the essence of the universe that flowed around, through and as the non-verbal part of us, moment by moment. Our actions resonated across time and space, weaving a story of redemption, resilience, and hope.

        This innovative journey would forever alter our student’s perception of the world around and in them. Led by the visionary mind of its founder, Michael J. Cohen, Ed.D., and others who guided Project NatureConnect, they unraveled the mysteries of the cosmos through an unconventional approach – making time and space for nature itself to become their teacher via its direct interlacing contact with our 54 natural senses in natural areas. That’s exactly the same as how Nature wordlessly functions in natural areas using a myriad of senses except literacy, it’s wordless.

 

        As the group ventured deep into the heart of Mother Earth’s breathtaking landscapes, they found themselves immersed in a world where every leaf, every breeze, and every creature held valuable natural attraction lessons in every moment. Each day brought new opportunities for discovery and enlightenment, as they participated firsthand in the delicate balance that exists within our natural environment and our body, mind and spirit.

        Under the canopy of ancient trees, they observed the intricate play between the sun and the shadows it cast, deciphering the language of light and time. By immersing themselves in the vibrant melodies of the forest, they sensed the harmonious rhythm that permeates all living things as it composes the cosmic symphony.

        With their fingertips grazing the softness of moss-covered stones, they reasonably connected with the wisdom of ages past, and still present, where the secrets of space-time instants whispered their truths to their senses. By standing barefoot upon the fertile soil, they embraced the timeless energy that flows through Earth and us, simultaneously being and unlocking the secrets of existence itself.

        Through the eyes of a curious child, they marveled at the vastness of the starry sky, tracing the constellations with their fingers, as if weaving their own celestial tapestry. Nature had become their science and guide, revealing the profound interconnections between the celestial bodies and the very core of their being as all of life at once consciously flowed through them, moment by moment.

 

        For 16 years, at each year’s end, as each new group bid farewell to the majestic wilderness that had nurtured their growth, they carried with them a newfound knowledge – a symbiotic pristine truth relationship with the natural world, where the exploration of life was not confined to textbooks and laboratories but experienced firsthand, in the embrace of nature’s essence.

        That truth fit into and extended the then-emerging field of Ecopsychology. It was and continues to be a cosmic spectacle, where each breath we take and return is imbued with the purifying raw energy and facts of the universe, pulsating throughout us. 

        These revolutionary explorers had become both students and teachers, therapeutically united in their commitment to nurturing the symbiotic 54-sense bond between humanity and Earth.

        Decades later, their legacy lives on, as, online and in local natural areas, each new student discovers the transformative healing and unifying power of nature. This perpetuates the pristine truth teachings that nature offers to those who are willing to listen.

 

        As Applied Ecopsychology, distant learning, Project NatureConnect continues to ignite the flame of curiosity, paving the way for future adventurers to immerse and know themselves as the dance of space-time with words like “natureness,” “pristine truth” and “spacetiming” that forge an unbreakable, co-nurturing bond between humankind and the great web of life.

West Coast University

        During Project NatureConnect’s 57-year application of Pristine Truth, in 2004 West Coast University recognized and filled the need for unempowered people, internationally, to gain recognition and strength for skills they learned from their life experiences since formal education was unavailable to them.

        In a world where education had failed to reach all corners of society, West Coast University (WCU) emerged as a beacon of hope.

        Recognizing that knowledge is not confined to the four walls of a classroom, WCU made a groundbreaking decision. No longer would the path to recognition be limited to indoor classrooms, for there existed a vast ocean of wisdom to be explored beyond those confines through life experiences in it.

 

        In 2005, with open minds and daring spirits, WCU further embarked on a revolutionary mission: to award degrees to those who had sought practical enlightenment while intimately connected with nature as their teacher. Project NatureConnect students, explorers at heart, had spent countless months wandering through enchanted forests, traversing majestic mountains, and across mystical waters. Each step, each breath, a lesson learned, a self-evident truth of their essence uncovered.

        No longer would their experiences and voices be disregarded. As already had several other Universities, WCU acknowledged the depth of wisdom woven into the fabric of these students’ souls, born from the space-time continuum they called Nature’s life. Now, outside the hallowed halls of academia, WCU degrees would be bestowed upon these brave seekers of truth who were not on expeditions. Instead, through online training in local natural areas, WCU recognized the unconventional yet credible, undeniable education participants received at Project NatureConnect.

 

        The bond between humans and the natural world had always existed, an ancient attraction connection often forgotten in the rush of modern life and its mismanagement of our natural resources. But WCU, with its visionary stance, had become a new catalyst for rekindling this primordial alliance. They saw the profound value in nature’s classroom, where every rustle of leaves, every drop of rain, held a message that fulfilled a need.

        As the years have passed, WCU has become a special place for those yearning to break free from the constraints of traditional education. People from all walks of life find solace and healing within its personal skill and nature-connected courses and degree training, their hearts uplifted by the knowledge that their unorthodox encounters and loves in the great outdoors hold equal worth to any textbook or lecture.

        And so, in the year 2005, a new chapter was written in the annals of academia. West Coast University opened its arms to those who dared to learn beyond the limited, human-centered boundaries set by society. From that moment on, a new wave of recognition and strength surged through interested, but unempowered individuals, as their truths and lessons learned from nature’s classroom were celebrated and their online process shared. 

 

        In its online presence today, WCU diplomas bearing witness to each student’s remarkable nature-reconnecting journey adorn its website, a testament to the power of nature-connected education while its PNC-accredited courses provide academic and CEU credits when needed.
