Michael J. Cohen, Founder, Director Project NatureConnect
“We are part of Nature and Earth. We live in the landscape, in the biosphere and under our Planet’s atmosphere. However, our attachments to unreasonable stories lead us to live excessively Nature-disconnected lives. This causes our 54 natural senses to feel the pain of abandonment from the life of our life-giving Mother Earth. Their disturbance is the source of our wide range of psycho-emotional disorders including Earth Misery Day.  This explains is why our hurt subsides and things go better when we reconnect our 54 senses to Nature in a natural area; a skill that is easily learned.

We suffer most of our problems simply because we deny that we can, at will, use our  GreenWave Intelligence to unify our life with the balanced and beautiful life of Nature and Earth.”

Warrantied: Six Guiding GreenWave Organics Principles of Michael J. Cohen’s Maverick Genius Blog. 
(See the GreenWave Intelligence Inventory and its Equation)..

.

1. STORIES YES!   A human being is a 54 sense living organism whose unique sense of language (#39) can create fiction or non-fiction stories as well as speak them, understand them and  build relationships with them.

.

2. STORIES NO!   The life of Planet Earth is a highly sensitive living organism that, minus humanity, can neither create nor communicate with stories. Instead the equilibrium of its eons of purifying biodiversity builds, communicates and relates to this moment via the original and continuing attraction energies of Nature’s self-correcting balance and beauty.  Earth’s life accomplishes this without producing garbage, abusiveness, pollution or war because everything is attractive, everything belongs.

.

3. All things only exist in the now moment dance of the GreenWave Big Bang Unified Field. When we consciously dance with the GreenWave it enables us to transform our nature-disconnected stories that produce our psychological disorders, including Earth Misery Day, They become scientifically accurate whole life stories. Because the latter include “subjective” sensory facts they unify all things.

.

4. Any moment we are aware that we are alive every aspect of Earth is also alive because they/we are all part of that moment’s time/space life of the GreenWave creating the life of its next moment.

.

5. All things are attractively connected with the exception of  our nature-disconnecting stories. Any natural attraction that we find in nature is nature in and as us doing the finding. “Repulsions” (senses #25-27) are always sensory signals to find additional natural attractions for happiness and survival.

.

6. Simply learning to habitually connect our thinking and fiduciary relationships with the GreenWave increases  personal, social and environmental well-being.

GreenWave Intelligence: Strengthen Peace. Stop the Madness.

Butt-Naked Truth Produces Hard-Core Sanity 

Are you aware that our world-wide personal, social and environmental disorders result from the runaway growth of Earth Misery Day?
www.ecopsych.com/zombie2.html

Are you aware that GreenWave Intelligence solves the unsolvable? It is the omission of its art, science and love that permits our hurtful trespasses to continue.
www.ecopsych.com/journalaliveness.html


AT THIS MOMENT:

Abusive, misguided or disturbing childhood psycho-emotional experiences are producing youngsters and adults who suffer the painful effects of these injuries.

The disastrous outcomes of childhood psycho-emotional disturbances underlie most of our runaway conflicts, disorders, abusiveness and criminality.

.

Project NatureConnectDomination by scientific and other objective information wounds 85 percent of a child’s 54 natural senses and reduces their resilience. This is because these senses are viewed as “subjective.” The alienating rejection of them produces our runaway psycho-emotional injuries and damages global biodiversity.
www.ecopsych.com/insight53senses.html

When we hurt, we want; when we want there is never enough. We unreasonably become dependent on destructive fulfillments. That’s our core problem.
www.ecopsych.com

.

The warrantied art and science of GreenWave Unified Field Intelligence produces information and relationships that validate a person’s 54 natural senses as self-evident facts of life. Any science or reasoning worth the name must include, not exclude, them.
www.ecopsych.com/journalwarranty.html

The use of the GreenWave Unified Field promotes lasting genetic transformation and global wellness that reverses our psycho-emotional injuries and their destructive effects while supporting biodiversity in balance.
www.ecopsych.com/journalslimemold.html

.

We suffer because the posture of central and established education and relationship building in the USA and elsewhere is encouraged to omit the contribution of GreenWave Intelligence to well-being.
www.ecopsych.com/saneearth.html  (SaneEarth.com)

.

Because it is reasonable, at Akamai University and Portland State University, Project NatureConnect is establishing for the United Nations and the United States an Office of Greenwave Intelligence. The office will have the power to determine any individual’s or institution’s eligibility for funding or operating based on its support, knowledgeability and actualization of GreenWave Wisdom.

Rooted in the work of Albert Einstein, by implementing the balancing powers of the Unified Field, the Office will increase personal, social and environmental well-being and justice as well as reduce spending as it globally produces a healthier environment and population.

Question: Why wouldn’t you want to mentor and implement the fiduciary wisdom of  the GreenWave Intelligence rather than further support the catastrophic Earth Misery process?

Educating Counseling and Healing With Nature (ECHN)

 

Nature lover, learn how to support the balanced and beautiful life of our Planet as it supports your life and helps you meet your challenges.

 

To remedy our personal and global disorders we must:

1) Learn from Earth how its self-correcting ways work so along with it we can enjoy its balance, purity and beauty.

 

2) Protect the life of “Organism Earth” under endangered species legislation. This would legally make us learn from Earth through ECHN, as follows:

The whole-life art and science of ECHN helps any nature lover or enthusiast create unique sensory contact moments in natural areas, backyard or backcountry.  There your 54 natural senses reasonably invite the transformative life powers of our Planet to give your life what you need to come into equilibrium with the Planet’s life and yourself.

 

The Course Process:

  • You and the four others in your world-wide online study group read the rationale and objective of a sensory nature-connecting activity you will do in a natural area, backyard or backcountry.
  • You do the activity and journal what your 54 natural senses enjoyed from their safe contact with the natural area and their origins there.
  • You sleep on the activity for at least one night. This lets the attractions of your 54 senses that you experienced (self-evidence) become a conscious part of your mind, body and spirit that matches the same part of other course members world-wide.
  • By email or in person, you share with others what you journaled and was attractive and of value to you in the activity. The other group members do the same with you.
  • This course process lets sensory contact with the life of Earth’s unified attraction field, in and around us, increase personal, community and environmental well-being.

Your community support, confidence and functions improve while disorders subside because in a natural area you genuinely gain and share the unifying strength of Earth’s balanced life as your life.

 

Contact with authentic Nature’s Unified Field becomes a trustable whole life guide. It is a therapist or higher power that you can turn to at will and help others do the same.

 

The Degree or Certification program mainly consists of learning how to do, and help others do, up to 170 activities over an 18-36 month period at 4 hours/week.

 

Use the “Navigator” at the bottom of this page for complete course information.

 

 

“This course is an oasis in the middle of our dessert of disconnection. Our relationships with our self, others, and the entire web of nature shape and define us. Through the “moments that let Earth teach” I felt each of us find our way back to the beautiful truth of who we naturally are. And from that space we experienced those connections that let us know that we are seen, we are acknowledged, we are valued, we are loved. Whenever that happens we are free to feel and act from the joy we are embedded in.”

– Orientation Course Participant

At will and forever, you can learn how to participate in the purifying ways and integrity of the web-of-life that lives in natural areas, others and yourself.

This orientation program is your first step to help increase personal, social and environmental well-being for all of life.

 

Just like firemen, nurses and others are paid to protect, save and improve lives, ECHN pays folks who 54-sense faithfully represent and support the life of their planet in and around them.

ECHN instantly brings peaceful life in balance to the lives of those who already love, or who want to learn to love more, the well-being and happiness they have found in the real life of natural areas and our planet, not just stories about it, accurate or not.

“My thanks to each and everyone of you on this course. You have given me support and unconditional love during a traumatic time in my life and I cannot express to you what it truly means in my heart.”

– Betsy W. Orientation Program Participant

ECHN helps interested people make the healing love and caring powers of the natural world’s life a safe and lasting home and/or livelihood for their body mind and spirit. The real life of our planet in and around these individuals becomes a reasonable sensory playground and school that they personally support as it supports them. They have the ability to prevent trespassers from entering this personal space while they delight in building trustable, friendly relationships in it with other members of the plant, animal, mineral, energy and human community.

You are not alone. The passion of millions of warm and caring people is strengthening the life of the natural world due to their wonderful early memories of it, or their new found love of living things.

Questions? Call Mike: 360-378-6313

 

 

The ECHN Orientation Program lets the grounded security of the natural world be a powerful home for nature lovers that they can choose to live in or visit at will.

Organics, sustainability, and ecologically sound professions are steadily growing. However, most folks in them increasingly subdue the life of our Planet. 

 

Our unbalanced impact occurs because we have never learned how to let ECHN 54-sense contact moments with the authentic life of Earth teach and support us. We don’t know how cooperatively think and relate like nature’s transformative perfection works, even though its in our genetic makeup.

 

This course is like letting Mary Poppins help you understand an up-to-date picture of how the life of Earth’s perfection works around and in you. You experience it firsthand in a natural area, you are there, it’s your life and it’s real.

If in this moment, your life is reading these words, it is self-evident that your life is part of the same life of our Planet, Universe, Nature, Science and Technology that contains these words right now.  However, for you to live in balanced sanity it is essential to learn ECHN.  It helps you consciously felt-sense connect, think and build mutually supportive relationships directly from experience, from tapping you head and heart into the attractive aliveness of Nature’s wisdom that lies in and around you in a natural area. You become in-synch with the beauty and self-correcting ways of Earth.

“Truth is what stands the test of experience.”

– Albert Einstein

 

ECHN reality check: Ask Organism Earth to show you that it loves you. Disconnect from it. Exhale and hold your breath. Disconnect from the life of its Air. Note the appearance and intensification of Earth’s attractive sensation to reconnect you with the life of its air (#21).

 

Earth loves you to inhale its oxygen and live while you exhale and gift Earth with your carbon dioxide and water vapor. Earth’s aliveness loves you so much it usually won’t let you stop breathing even if you independently decide to stop forever.

 

Be aware that you and others can learn and teach ECHN via the Internet. It can spread quickly. There is hope.

 

“This is the course that every civilized person will be required to take if we are to reverse our runaway disorders.”

– Raymond Sierra, .Counselor

 

Think and feel brilliantly:

  • Until it is scientifically proven otherwise the Universe sequentially makes it own time and space moment-by-moment through the eons ever since its beginning.
  • In any moment, all things in the Universe are identical in, and at one with, the Universe and each other. Moment-by-moment they make their own time and space with it, as it and as part of it.
  • Are you alive now?
  • If you are experiencing and registering your life it is self-evident that you are alive. It is registering directly on your senses and this is an indisputable form of evidence.
  • If you know you are alive in this moment, scientifically everything in this moment is also alive. Even rocks. This must be so because the essence of all things in the Universe are identical as we grow with it, into its, our and life’s next moment of being.
  • If you are not sure you are alive, check it out. Hold your breath. Sense and feel what your life itself has to say about your and its aliveness.
  • Since you are alive and all things in the moment are alive, and Planet Earth is in the moment, Planet Earth is alive. So is the Universe; it has been since its birth and before.
When humanity’s stories don’t adulterate it, the life of our Planet organizes itself to be an attractive optimum of self-correcting diversity, cooperation and peace. It does not produce garbage. Everything is in balance and belongs because all things are attracted to transform and recycle into more attractive relationships for the good of the whole of the planet’s life, including them. Scientists call this homeostasis.
  • Earth’s organic paradise is ethical and moral. It seldom exhibits our stories and the excessiveness, disorders, issues, assaults, illness, unfairness, toxic waste, corruption, crime and wars that our stories create. As part of the life of Earth, death as we know it is simply another form of Earth’s life.

 

You have just completed, above, a small, objective search for Mother Earth. Hopefully you discovered that she is a real living Mother. Since she is the only one of her kind that we know of, do you think she should be protected under an Endangered Species act?  That law along with listening to the wisdom our 54 natural senses in congress would help us solve most of our runaway problems.

 

The only time the facts, above are not true for you is when you don’t trust your own 54 natural senses and feelings, when you do not do what they reasonably attract you to do. For example, when a story tells your you hold your breath, the discomfort of suffocation that your senses register ever increasingly attracts you to breathe again. This is reasonable and intelligent.

 

When you do breathe, you re-connect your life with Earth’s life in and around you. When you don’t breathe because of the disconnection story’s instructions, if the life of Earth does not save you with “natural respiration” you begin to transform into another attractive part of Earth’s life, a process we call “death.”

 

 

 

 

A Core Fact of Life:

 

In a natural area the self-correcting life of your planet and your life are identical.  

 

Strengthen your life. Reconnect with Nature via ECHN.

 

“The greatest beauty is organic wholeness, the wholeness of life and things, the divine beauty of the universe.”

~ Robinson Jeffers, 1935, The Scientist’s Visionary

 

“The spirits of the material universe and plant world are alive, and also more or less conscious.  The originating principle of nature is a single material substance. (sic: the Higgs Boson, 2012).”

~ Thales of Miletus, 580 BC, Father of  Science

 

“The Universe is a single living creature that encompasses all living creatures within it.”

“The globe of this earth is not just a machine but also an (superorganism) organized body as it has a regenerative power.”

 

 

 

 

~James Hutton, 1788, Father of Geology

 

“The whole universe in its different spans and wave-lengths, exclusions and developments, is everywhere alive and conscious. There is one fundamental stuff.”

~ William James, 1887, Father of American Psychology

 

“Evolution is a tightly coupled dance, with life and the material environment as partners. From the dance emerges the entity Gaia. Dr. Cohen is so right to make the responsibility for living on good terms with Gaia a personal one. It’s always from an individual’s activities that good and bad things come.”

~ James Lovelock, 1985 Father of the Living Earth Gaia Hypothesis

 

It is self-evident. Moment-by-moment as our universe is attracted to build its space and time, everything in it is connected to it and at-one with it. Any moment that a thing is alive, including yourself, the Universe and Earth must also be alive, connected and in contact, as are our fingers, heart and toes.”

~ Michael J. Cohen, 1965, Father of Natural Attraction Ecology (Organic Applied Ecopsychology)

“My natural sensation of thirst (#21) attracts and connects me to the life of Earth’s water cycle.

“Moore’s Law notes that genetic complexity doubles every 376 million years—working backwards, it means that life first came about almost 10 billion years ago.

Get real. “Earth and you are the same life. Every year 98 percent of the atoms in your body are attracted to become the environment. New atoms from the environment become you. Complete replacement takes place in 4-7 years, about 8 times over a lifespan.”

As demonstrated by its increasing material deficits and sickening miseries, the life of Planet Earth is bankrupt due to our excessiveness and neglect of it. Most Education, Counseling, Healing, Sustainability and Psychology practices add to this condition rather than reduce its destructiveness. In this regard their authorities and processes are corrupt, unethical and immoral. Their formal and informal education has indoctrinated them, along with the rest of us, to fight an insane, idotic and undeclared war against the love and fairness of Earth’s whole life relationships.

 

We learn to feel it is beneath our “I am intelligence” Ego to ask the life of Nature and Earth to teach us what its fountainhead of authority knows is accurate. It’s life wants to help us to come into cooperative balance and sanity with it because that reasonably sustains it and produces its peace. This ECHN Orientation Program will help you personally make this vital re-connection with the life of Nature, Earth and you.

Emancipate yourself from the absurd. Application Your class is forming now

 

The attractive life of Earth can help us transform the insanity of our excessiveness and  discontents into rational and happy relationships with the web-of-life and each other.

Deep within our limited objectivity our intelligence is ashamed of its prejudice against the natural along with its lethal effects, including its inability to stop the destruction that it started.

 

The feeling of shame puts our objectivity in denial. It denies what our high-tech expertise has long identified to be evident: we are increasingly deteriorating the life of our Planet and ourselves.  Fortunately, the intelligence of our deeper 54-sense nature is attracted to stop this.

 

Our shame makes us disregard that the nature-disconnected way we have learned to think and relate is causing a sixth mass extinction.  Our 54-sense deeper nature is attracted to halt the stupidity of this madness and ECHN is the tool to accomplish this.

ECHN reality check: Ask the life of Earth to demonstrate that it wants to support your well-being. Pinch yourself harder and harder. Doesn’t Earth’s felt-sense of Pain (#25) urge you to instead seek a more satisfying attraction?

 

“In the context of this course, a quote from Rumi, has become wonderfully multi-layered for me: Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

The underlying cause of our runaway destructiveness is our non-stop wanting due to our deprivation of the 54-sense natural satisfactions from the attractive aliveness of our planet that our life requires. Our wanting is a signal from them that we have disconnected from Earth and that it is more attractive to be connected. The pain from the loss of these enjoyments due to our disconnection from Nature makes us feel that we always need more love and happiness. That produces our excessiveness.  When we want there is never enough.

Questions? Call Mike: 360-378-6313

 

 

The correct label for our excessive substitutes for life in balance is neither “Normal” “Growth” nor “Progress”. The correct label is “Dis-ease”.

ECHN works because it uses only self-evidence, an undeniable form of fact. We guarantee this. It also works because the purity of natural attractions motivate reasonable change so resistance to reasonable relationships fades.

 

Get Smart. More effectively deal with all issues. Let the 54-sense power of your Planet’s life support your life in gratitude for your support of its life, a life that is both of you.

Questions? Call Mike: 360-378-6313

 

ECHN enables you to create moments that let Earth’s wisdom teach you what is missing in your life and how to regain it to the benefit of all life, in and around you.

Ask yourself:

  • Am I reasonably happy at home or with my career?
  • What crazy band may I be marching to?
  • Who is the boss of me?
  • Are my authorities reasonable or are they mad? How can I possibly get an unbiased second opinion when they surround me?
  • Isn’t it healthy and sensible for me to become whole earth wise and strong?

All things only exist in the present moment of our Universe, in the Organic Psychology of  GreenWave ECHN that includes our stories, senses and sensations.  On this Orientation Course learning to felt-sense think and speak via GreenWave ECHN enables us communicate with the whole of life and its history that lies in each present moment’s Unified Field core attraction power of the eons. The “Now” aliveness of the GreenWave feelingly attaches our lives to all past leaders, prophets and deities along with their stories, senses and relationships. In natural areas this gives us the ability to lovingly dance as equals with them and update them with today’s scientific knowledge, then unknown. The GreenWave ECHN process is creation’s glue. Using it empowers us to resolve our destructive differences by unifying their origins. It helps us reduce our disorders and peacefully increase personal, social and environmental well-being.

Discover your Natural “Maverick Genius”

Maverick Genius at Work? You be the Judge: The GreenWave Organic Psychology of Dr. Michael J. Cohen 

– Pamela Hoke with M. J. Cohen, Ph.D.

 

“We are being paid to destroy Earth’s Web of Life, including us, and paid again to ignore the available remedy for this catastrophe.”

– Michael J. Cohen

.

Abstract

The 1986 Bureau of Applied Sciences International Symposium on the Promotion of Unconventional Ideas in Science, Medicine and Sociology in England identified Dr. Michael J. Cohen as a maverick genius because a genius is “One who shoots at something no one else can see, and hits it.” Cohen’s eco-genius is considered “maverick” because its GreenWave actualizes natural, sensory, Web of Life truths that our society omits. They are inconvenient yet vital for personal, social and global well-being. Project NatureConnect awards organic online degrees and certifications for applying them.

 

I recently followed up what appeared to be an unbelievable 2016 quote on the Internet from Michael J. Cohen, Ph.D., the Founder and Director of Project NatureConnect:

“Eighty years ago, when I was six, my school psycho-emotionally amputated my left arm.  I hurt and I complained about it for years until some reasonable folks let me use a “taboo” technology. It was a fountain pen. It enabled me to naturally write with my left hand without being punished for disobeying the dip-pen school rules of 1936.

That fountain pen restored my natural peace of mind. It improved my penmanship and my happiness. This felt so good that I always tried to develop and use similar tools. It became my habitual “maverick eco-genius,” a permanent felt-sense intention to scientifically dignify the life of Nature in and around me rather than bully it.

Today, my GreenWave art and science of how to come into balance enables the whole of life to strengthen its and our natural integrity. With practice, the organics of the GreenWave Web of Life process happily connect our 54 inherent natural senses with the power and peace of Earth’s self-correcting sanity. This produces long-term personal, social and global solutions and well being that most folks are rewarded to ignore.”

        – Michael Cohen

 

This experience fascinated me due to my direct contact with it.  I, too, was scorned for being left-handed.  I have spent most of my adult life in a sort of “lost” phase within that initial injury, yet somewhere I sensed a maverick within me, I sensed I had natural creative genius within, and coming upon Mike’s experience and his life work validated it all.

Contemporary humans usually have a subdued genius within them due to the conditioned stories of modern society that have buried it their minds.  Mike discovered this truth, and embraced his maverick within by follow his natural attractions.   I never thought that a whole life art or science story (34) was available that explains how or why you could visit a natural area and increase mental health, stress relief, learning ability, conflict resolution and personal, social and environmental well-being.

Most thinkers and leaders expound on what should be done about our runaway troubles in these areas. However, their material science and mechanistic thinking does not identify the psychiatric nature and origin of these disorders no less offer the tool that enables us to remedy it.  For this reason, today, these problems persist and are growing (20).

 

“Genius is the capacity for productive reaction against one’s training.”
        – Bernard Berenson

 

Mike Cohen’s genius is real and exceptional (31). In 1965 after years of making sensory contact with a wide range of natural areas in expedition education groups that he organized (32) he recognized that Planet Earth had to be a living organism (26) whose core consisted of attraction communication and relationships (35).  It did not speak via language while he personally was an organism that did yet he was also part of Organism Earth. He lived in it, it had to be his “other body” (24).  From this discovery his natural felt-sense thinking identified our ordinarily overlooked 54 natural senses (29) attachments to inaccurate stories (34) being the cause of personal, social and environmental disorders. He created unique nature-connecting stories and activities along with a relationship-based Unified Field Equation (21) as remedies for their source. These are described in his warranty of his work (19) and his GreenWave Unified Field Equation (21). He made the organic genius of his Whole-Life Art and Science of Educating, Counseling and Healing with Nature (ECHN) doable and readily available (22).

 

Genius: “Those individuals that rise to the particular challenges of emerging in a civilization when it is in some way endangered and who make a response to ensure the continuity of the civilization.”
        – Arnold Toynbee

 

Throughout his adult life, Cohen (11) has devoted his “maverick” eco-genius to bring into consciousness, identify and think with 54 energy attraction strands of Albert Einstein’s Unified Field that our senses register and that bind relationships, sub-atomic to solar system, in and around us (29). He sensed that these energies must be Webstrings, attraction strands that hold together the Web of Life, including us.

While all species and minerals enjoy webstrings and their vital benefits, contemporary thinking in its conquest of nature has been taught to ignore, conquer or separate them from the natural and attach them to destructive nature-disconnecting stories and relationships. This trend for excessive artificiality has led to the deterioration of natural systems in the environment and people (20)

Cohen shows that that we have to use our 54 unadulterated webstring attraction senses (29) to regenerate the purity of nature’s balance, beauty and peace around and within us (2). His work is an act of genius that enables anyone to use webstrings to help resolve “unsolvable” personal, social and environmental problems (1). It is amazing eco-psychiatry at no cost.

 

“When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.”
        – Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

To our loss, Cohen is suspect because contemporary thinking neither believes in nor respects webstrings and their potential for good. Our history has been to destroy or inadequately substitute for webstring relationships under the flag of “stewardship” and “progress.” (3). For this reason, our 54 natural senses in their pure beneficial form remain foreign to most of us, even though they are self-evident and right before our eyes. It is similar to your consciousness registering the words you are now reading but not registering the value of the air that sits between your mind and this screen at this moment (until you are now reminded of it.)

.

“Learning to think and speak while connected to the Dance of the GreenWave Unified Field helps us communicate with the whole of life and its history as part of the attraction/love essence of our personal life in any moment. The Dance attaches us to all past and present leaders, deities, stories, senses, facts prophecies and relationships in the history and life of Planet Earth. While we lovingly dance as 54-sense equals with them in the present, we update them with our advanced science and technology prowess. In congress this enables our GreenWave dance, moment-by-moment, to unify, transform  and produce responsible tomorrows in peaceful balance with the whole of life.”

    – Michael J. Cohen

“It takes immense genius to represent, simply and sincerely, what we see in front of us.”
        – Edmond Duranty

 

WEBSTRINGS DESCRIBED:
Environmental experts accurately portray webstrings, nature and the web-of-life by gathering a group of people in a circle. Each person is asked to represent some part of their attraction to nature, a bird, soil, water, etc.(2). A large ball of string then demonstrates the interconnecting attraction relationships between all things in nature. For example, the bird is attracted to eat insects so the string is passed from the “bird person” to the “insect person.” That string represents their attraction connection. The insect is attracted to live in a flower, so the string is further unrolled across the circle to the “flower person;” from the “electron” to the “proton.” Soon a web of attraction string is formed interconnecting all members of the group, from atoms to weather systems, including somebody representing a person. In this model each of the connecting strands is a webstring (4).

Every aspect of the global life community, from the space between sub-atomic particles to the moon, is part of the web of life. The diversity of natural system webstring interconnections in conjunction with their central Unified Field source produces nature’s homeostatic balance that prevents runaway disorders. For this reason, unadulterated natural systems neither create garbage nor display our mental health problems or our abusiveness, stress and isolation. Everything that is part of Nature, including people, is attractive, belongs and is supported in Nature.

In the web of life activity, dramatically, people pull back, sense, and enjoy how the strings of the web peacefully unite, support and interconnect them and all of life. Then one strand of the web is cut signifying the loss of a species, habitat or natural relationship due to our nature-disconnecting stories. Sadly, the weakening effect on all is noted. Another and another string is cut. Soon the web’s integrity, unifying ability and power disintegrates along with its spirit. Because this loss of support from the wholeness of the web of life reflects the reality of our nature-separated lives, it triggers feelings of hurt, despair and deep sadness in many activity participants. This is to be expected for, in reality, Earth and its people increasingly suffer from “cut string” disintegration (5).

In the webstring model, Dr. Cohen asks people if they ever went into a natural area and actually saw strings interconnecting things there. Usually their answer is something like, “No, if I saw them I’d be hallucinating or psychotic.” Cohen has responded, “If you don’t see strings there, what then are the actual strands of Nature that hold the natural community together in its perfection and beauty? To be part of a system things have to be in communication with it.”
It becomes very, very quiet.
Too quiet.
Are you quiet, too?
Pay close attention to this silence. It flags a vital but missing element in our thinking, perceptions and relationships whose loss results in many troubles (6).

 

“Genius . . . is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.”
        – Ezra Pound

 

Natural beings sustain their own and nature’s wellness while in contact with the central attraction whole of the web through webstring loves. As part of nature, we are born with this ability that Psychiatrist Eric Fromm identified as Biophilia, the love of life. Our 54 natural senses are webstring loves of life in and as us. Our life loves to live.

Attraction is the essence of any form of love. Each natural attraction webstring is a special love of life that Dr. Theresa Sweeney at Project NatureConnect called a Weblove.  Pulitzer-Prize winning sociobiologist Dr. Edward O. Wilson, of Harvard, affirms that nature’s web of life holds the key to our aesthetic, intellectual, cognitive, and even spiritual satisfaction (7). Albert Einstein conceived of the strings as energies of Nature’s grand unification field and noted that, “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….Our task must be to free ourselves from (our) prison by widening our circles of compassion (webloves) to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty” (8).

Obviously, webstrings are part of survival (25), just as authentic and important as the plants, animals and minerals that they interconnect, including ourselves. These attraction strands of the Unified Field are as real and true as 2 + 2 = 4; they are self-evident sensory facts as genuine as the sensation of hunger as well as the existence of food. We ask for our troubles when we attach to stories that ignore or harm them.

 

“What makes men of genius, or rather, what they make, is not new ideas, it is that idea – possessing them – that what has been said has still not been said enough.”
        – Eugene Delacroix

 

Cohen has demonstrated that as part of Nature we are born with the natural ability for our mentality to sense, register and respond to 54 webstring sensations that Nature’s ways have given us for survival. However, contemporary objective thinking learns to neither acknowledge nor exercise this sensory ability, labeling it subjective and therefore scientifically taboo. Instead, we usually subdue it along with nature, as was the case with Cohen’s left handedness. Our troubles and discontents result from thinking and relationships based on our use of the combined intelligence of less than ten, rather than all 54 of our natural attraction webstring senses.

 

This is the nature of genius, to be able to grasp the knowable even when no one else recognizes that it is present.
        – Deepak Chopra

 

On average, we spend over 95 percent of our lifetime disconnected from and out of tune with authentic nature.

Without seeing, sensing or respecting the 54 webloves in nature and our inner nature, we break, injure or ignore them so the love they provide in and around us no longer registers in our consciousness and thinking. Their disappearance produces an unnatural void and imbalance, a discomforting sensory emptiness, a hurt lack of love that we constantly try to fill. This emotional vacuum prevents us from registering and thinking with sensory attractions that otherwise help us as part of nature produce unpolluted balance, wellness and peace.

The absence of webloves in our mentality prevents the formation of many critical satisfying relationships. This results in depression and stress in us; we unnecessarily want, and when we want there is never enough. We become greedy, abusive and reckless while trying to artificially replace our missing 46 weblove fulfillments. This dysfunction places us, others and Earth at risk for with respect to the perfection of the web of life there are few known substitutes for nature’s weblove organics that do not produce destructive side effects in people and places (9).

Cohen’s quest to understand and utilize webloves has brought him, for the last 55 years, to live and teach with groups in natural areas year round. This led to his Grand Canyon discovery in 1965 that Planet Earth acted like, and could be related to, as a living organism, a fact substantiated twelve years later by James Lovelock in the Gaia Hypotheses (10). “Organism Earth” and “Organism Cohen” were identical except only Cohen and humanity could communicate and relate through language stories and we “addicted” to them, right or wrong. Acting out our fictional stories in the “Now” made us produce and suffer our troubles (34). Replacing them in the Now with scientifically valid, self-evident stories and experiences in natural areas was their remedy.

From this realization Cohen personally risked founding the Trailside Country School, the National Audubon Society Expedition Institute and Project NatureConnect’s Whole-Life Art and Science of Educating, Counseling and Healing with Nature (ECHN) that fueled his organic webstring expedition education programs, books, curricula, psychologies, therapies, courses, schools, institutions and processes (36). These include his Whole Life Factor, Organic Psychology, the Natural Systems Thinking Process, Natural Attraction Ecology, the Unified Field GreenWave Equation (21), Nature as Higher Power (23), and the 9-leg thinking model (30) that help us offset our addictive, nature-disconnected “story based” thinking (2, 16). Each of these tools is part of Cohen’s nature-reconnecting ECHN process that helps us build balanced relationships and wellness (33).

 

“Genius not only diagnoses the situation but supplies the answers.”
        – Robert Graves

 

ECHN provides us with empirical evidence and genuine contact with webloves in natural areas that express themselves in us as 54  attraction intelligences (17, 11). Each self-evident sense gives us a unique means to make more sense, feel greater happiness and implement our deeper hopes and ideals (15). For example, the weblove sensation of thirst, our love for water, is as real, true and important a fact of life as is material water. Its purifying intelligence turns on and off the flow of the global water cycle through us as we need it. This makes it a sensory fact in whole life science that appropriately blends with and adds additional information to the mechanical/material fact of “water” so that the latter becomes valuable and balanced with all of life, not just our human “indoor” lifeways.

 

“The supreme goal of all theory is to make the irreducible basic elements as simple and as few as possible without having to surrender the adequate representation of a single datum of experience.”
        – Albert Einstein

 

Cohen’s maverick genius demonstrates that our excessive disconnection from nature is the crux of our troubles. It uproots our mind from nature’s purifying webstring balance around and within us. He says,

“Like a deer severed apart by the wheels of a train, our extreme separation from nature psychologically severs us from our mentality’s sensory connections and support in nature. This painful disconnection un-grounds us; it disconnects our thinking from vital inherent natural loves and ways of thinking, knowing and relating (25). This numbs our mentality to most of the sensory connections that produce nature’s perfection and recuperative powers in our body, mind and spirit.

Disconnected from webstrings inside and around us, our story from our short-circuited psyche says that our nature-separated lives are ‘normal’ and that we are stewards of the web of life; it is our garden of resources. This makes us deny our weblove dysfunctions rather than address them as such (27). Our disconnection is so severe that even though most of us have had wonderful restorative experiences in nature, our nature-disconnected stories have us think of them as recreation rather than re-creation. We shy from rather than welcome opportunities that enable us to increase and strengthen these experiences (23).

ECHN sensory reconnection activities help us reduce our troubles by enabling us, at will, to genuinely blend our thinking with authentic nature, backyard or back country, and use its recuperative powers to restore our sensibilities and wellness. This process for enhancing social and environmental justice (23) also strengthens our love of nature. This is vital because we don’t fight to preserve what we don’t love enough.”

In the 1985 Bureau of Applied Sciences International Symposium on the Promotion of Unconventional Ideas in Science, Medicine and Sociology, the so called “Maverick Genius Conference” in England identified Dr. Cohen as a maverick genius because a genius has been described as “One who shoots at something no one else can see, and hits it” (13). Dr. Bruce Denness, the conference convener, partially in jest suggested that Cohen, who still sleeps outdoors year round, might be the reincarnation of Henry David Thoreau as a Psychologist. Most elements in Cohen’s Warranty can be seen as acts of genius.

 

“Genius is the willingness and ability to challenge conventional wisdom. Perhaps even more importantly, scientific genius depends on an instinct for invention, an ability to focus on the problem at hand, and a determination to pursue that problem to a successful conclusion.”
        – Author unknown

“We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.”
        – Albert Einstein

 

If our society was dedicated to living in peace and balance with people and the environment, “genius” would accurately describe Dr. Cohen and his ECHN contribution , for which he received the 1994 Distinguished World Citizen Award (12, 14). However, in our nature-conquering society where corruption, profit, power and the exploitation of nature are too often heralded, Cohen’s webstring learning and relationship building ECHN goes against the grain. He is seen as a maverick, whose genius tries to scientifically teach the love of co-creating with nature to a “nature-conquering” society (2, 16).

Cohen says:

“With respect to the Web of Life, we are part of the whole. My natural area experiences tell me that whenever we are genuinely connected to a natural area our webloves automatically begin to self-correct and renew themselves and us because that’s attractive, that’s how Nature’s perfection works.

In our excessively nature-separated society, a person who succeeds in helping us sustain personal, social and environmental well being by genuinely reconnecting our discontent webloves with nature’s essence is an interruption to “indoor society” wellness and ignored. It feels so strange to watch our objective thinking produce our at-risk destiny because the nature-disconnected stories of our authorities, in and around us, call this catastrophe “economic growth” and omit its ECHN remedy (33).

I think that Lefty, my natural left handedness, is a hero. Since Lefty’s elementary school confrontation his genetics in me have sensed and reported that our misguided stories can’t remove our 54 Unified Field sensory loves from nature’s balance and beauty and not have us suffer the misery from that loss.

By living out my messages from Lefty, unknowingly I became a living, rather than a mechanical, sensory detector and reporter of Nature’s love, health and welfare. My nervous and endocrine system’s homeostasis served as a computerized electronic, chemical and sensory instrument. It made me aware of how non-story Nature works, when it was in trouble and how it could be supported by itself in me.

In retrospect, Lefty knew and kept me on the GreenWave before he helped me invent it.

Today most folks have yet to recognize that Organism Earth exists no less learn to use the GreenWave remedy for its/our troubles that Lefty still empowers me to create and warranty.

We seldom acknowledge that the life of our Planet experiences us as nature-conquering soldiers addicted to nature-conquering stories (34) and we unhappily endure the stress and depression from its disconnection from us as such. It feels like a gnawing abandonment that we must tranquilize, a lack of love.  It results from our culturally learned weblove attachments to weblove-disconnecting stories that we can, but don’t reverse.

All things only exist in the present moment of our Universe, the Now of life that includes our stories, sensations and history.  Learning to “think and speak on the GreenWave” enables us communicate with the whole of life and its history as part of each moment’s Unified Field attraction network of our Universe. The “Now” aliveness of the wave attaches to us all past leaders, deities, stories and relationships along with the ability to dance as equals with them and update them with our knowledge of the present. This unity empowers us to reasonably change and increase personal, social and environmental well-being.

Your 54-sense good experiences during a quiet time spent in a natural area confirm the value of GreenWave reconnecting with Nature (33). That knowledge is universal genius because, until proven otherwise, whatever our senses find attractive in nature is what is doing the finding. I hope you keep the process alive by keeping ECHN and the GreenWave in your life.  Please let me know if I can help.”

“Everyone is born a genius, but the process of living de-geniuses them.”
        – R. Buckminster Fuller
